Antistatic powder coating

Surface Finish Options Overview

Introduction:

Made of antistatic materials, suitable for indoor and outdoor environments

Features:

The volume resistivity of the coating is as low as 106-1010 Ω· cm, which prevents the accumulation of static electricity on the surface of the equipment and protects the equipment.

It can resist static electricity for a long time.

Use: Suitable for coating and protection of the surface of electrical appliances and equipment to reduce static electricity accumulation.

Application parameters:

Curing time:       200℃×10–15 minutes

Spraying method:      High voltage electrostatic spraying 60-80 KV

Recommended film thickness:      60-80 um

Physical properties:

The above tests all use 0.8mm degreased and derusted cold-rolled steel plates, with a coating thickness of 40 to 80um. The performance indicators of the coating will vary slightly with the gloss.

This product does not contain heavy metals such as arsenic, selenium, lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, antimony, cadmium, etc., and meets RoHS requirements.

Storage conditions: Store in a dry, ventilated room at around 25°C, avoid direct sunlight. Under this condition, the powder can be stored for 6-12 months. If it is overdue, it can be re-tested and can still be used if the results meet the requirements.

Note: The test indicators mentioned in this report are all data obtained from laboratory tests and are for reference only, not as a performance commitment for product application. The results may vary depending on environmental factors and other conditions.

Types of powder coating

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 coating colours and effects

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.

Powder coating process

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 coating benefits

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.

Applications for Powder Coatings

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.

FAQ

What is Powder Coating?

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.

What does powder coating do?

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.

Is powder coating better than paint?

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.

Why is it called powder coating?

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.

What are the different types of powder coating?

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.

Which material is used in powder coating?

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.

How long will powder coating last?

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.
