Food & Pharmaceutical Fluoropolymer Powder Coating is engineered for hygienic production environments where chemical resistance, corrosion protection, and cleanability are critical. You use this system to protect metal equipment exposed to frequent wash-down cycles, disinfectants, humidity, and temperature variation.
Based on advanced fluoropolymer resin technology, the coating provides low surface energy, stable film integrity, and long-term durability. When required, you can select formulations designed to comply with FDA 21 CFR or EU Regulation No. 10/2011 for food contact applications.
This coating is suitable for metal components operating in controlled or sanitary environments, including:
Food processing equipment frames
External surfaces of mixing tanks and silos
Conveyor structures and supports
Dairy and beverage production machinery
Pharmaceutical processing equipment housings
Cleanroom metal fixtures
Filling and packaging line structures
Laboratory metal equipment
Compatible substrates include stainless steel, carbon steel with appropriate pretreatment, aluminum, and galvanized steel.
You obtain strong resistance against:
Acidic cleaning agents
Alkaline detergents
Disinfectants
Alcohol-based sanitizers
Moisture and high-humidity conditions
Performance can be evaluated according to:
ISO 9227 for salt spray resistance
ISO 2409 for adhesion
ISO 6272 for impact resistance
The fluoropolymer structure provides:
Low surface energy
Reduced contamination adhesion
Easier cleaning and shorter sanitation cycles
Smooth and stable finish after repeated wash-down
This is especially important in food and pharmaceutical production where residue buildup must be minimized.
You extend equipment service life in environments where traditional polyester coatings may degrade under frequent chemical exposure. The dense fluoropolymer structure improves barrier protection against moisture and corrosive media.
The coating maintains film integrity under moderate mechanical impact and operational vibration, depending on the selected system (thermosetting or thermoplastic).
Depending on application requirements, you can select:
Standard fluoropolymer system for general hygienic equipment
Enhanced chemical resistance formulation for aggressive cleaning cycles
Food contact compliant formulation
Low-cure version for heat-sensitive substrates
Clear or pigmented finish options
Typical film thickness range:
60–120 μm depending on substrate and performance target
Powder coatings can be categorized by resin system (epoxy, polyester, hybrid, polyurethane), appearance (smooth, texture, hammer, metallic, pearlescent), or performance level (anti-corrosion, heat-resistant, UV-resistant, architectural grade, automotive grade).
Powder coatings offer thousands of colors in gloss, matte, satin, metallic, candy, texture, wrinkle, hammer tone, wood grain, fluorescent, and other custom effects. Special powders can create soft-touch, anti-scratch, anti-fingerprint, or anti-graffiti surfaces.
The process generally includes surface pretreatment (degreasing, phosphating, chromating, sandblasting), drying, electrostatic spraying, curing in an oven, and cooling. A well-controlled pretreatment and curing process ensures strong adhesion and long service life.
Powder coatings are environmentally friendly, solvent-free, and produce minimal waste. They offer excellent corrosion resistance, weather durability, mechanical strength, and uniform film appearance. The coating is tough, impact-resistant, scratch-resistant, and has a long lifespan.
Powder coatings are widely used in appliances, aluminum profiles, architectural components, automotive parts, bicycles, furniture, outdoor equipment, machinery, electrical cabinets, pipeline systems, and general industrial and consumer goods.
Powder coating is a dry finishing technology where finely ground powder is electrostatically sprayed onto a metal or non-metal surface and then cured at high temperature. After curing, the powder melts into a continuous, durable, and decorative coating layer.
Powder coating protects the substrate from corrosion, weathering, chemical attack, and mechanical wear. It also provides decorative appearance with rich colors, gloss levels, textures, and special effects.
In many industrial applications, powder coating outperforms liquid paint. It forms a thicker and tougher coating, resists corrosion and chemicals better, and does not contain VOCs. It also provides excellent consistency and cost-effective mass production.
It is called powder coating because the coating material is a solid powder instead of a liquid paint. The coating is formed by melting and curing powder particles under heat.
Powder coatings include several families depending on resin chemistry:
• Epoxy powders
• Polyester powders
• Epoxy-polyester hybrid powders
• Polyurethane powders
• Acrylic powders
• Fluorocarbon (PVDF) powders
Each type has its own performance features such as corrosion resistance, UV resistance, chemical resistance, outdoor durability, or decorative properties.
Powder coatings are based on thermoset or thermoplastic resins combined with pigments, curing agents, fillers, additives, and in some cases metallic or effect particles. Common substrates include steel, aluminum, galvanized metal, MDF, and certain heat-resistant plastics.
The lifespan depends on powder type, film thickness, application method, pretreatment, and service environment. Indoor coatings can last more than 10–20 years. High-grade outdoor polyester or fluorocarbon powders can last 15–25 years or longer under UV exposure.
