As you begin researching for a new project, you start discovering that there are far more options than you ever thought there would be. Whether it be manufacturing a new product, tricking out your vehicle, or just a backyard project that you want to do right, the choices can be overwhelming. Perhaps you're asking yourself "What are the advantages of powder coating?" Well, here are 7 reasons why powder coating might be the right decision for you:

Reason 1: Time Efficient

During the powder coating process electromagnetic energy is used to apply the powder, which means that there is almost no waste. Because of this, technicians can apply as much (or as little) as wanted in a single coat. This means that you don't have to allow for drying time between coats. Instead, everything can be done at once which can save a ton of time!

Reason 2: Cost Effective

Not only will you save money because it takes less time but the powder is ordered according to the specifications for your job. Powder is much less expensive than paint and because it's to your specs, you don't have to worry about paying for a bunch of paint that will never be used, which is commonplace because they have to be sure that all paint will come from the same batch so that there is no variation in color.

Reason 3: Durability

Powder coating is hands down the most durable finishing option.   Once cured, the powder forms chemical bonds that create a flexible, strong finish. Powder coated parts are highly resistant to corrosion, flaking, and scratching. All this means that you are left with a dependable and long-lasting finish that looks great!

Reason 4: Variety

One of the biggest benefits of the powder coating method is the potential for customization. Powder manufacturers will create unique blends to match any color, texture, and finish. You will be hard pressed to find an option that gives you a more choices in color, versatility, texture, and style.

Reason 5: Environmental Safety

Because the powder is free of toxic chemicals and solvents, it’s regarded as safe for usage and disposal. The processes release no harmful chemicals into the air, and produces significantly less waste than other options.

Reason 6: Quality

The powder coating application and curing processes create a finish unlike any other paint product. Because the powder melts and reforms as a solid, it creates a smooth surface without drips or runs.

Reason 7: Maintenance

Here's the best part; powder coating is easy to maintain! You don't need any special solvents or cleaners and you don't have to worry about rust or corrosion. In fact, most of the time a simple wipe-down with soapy water is enough to keep the parts clean and functional for years.

So let's break this down: "Why should powder coating be your go-to option?"

With powder coating being lower cost, higher quality, easier to maintain, more durable, and more eco-friendly, I think the real question is: "Why wouldn't you choose powder coating?"
