MT-620 AM is a series of polyester based powder coatings, formulated without the use of TGIC, designed for the exterior environment, offering the benefits of MT 600 in combination with specific antimicrobial activity. MT-620 AM powders are available in a wide range of colors in gloss, satin, matt, metallic and textured effects and can be custom matched to the user's requirements.

Aluminium, steel or Zintec surfaces to be coated must be clean and free from grease. Iron phosphate and particularly lightweight zinc phosphating of ferrous metals improves corrosion resistance. Aluminium substrates may require a chromate conversion coating. Detailed advice should be sought from the pre-treatment supplier.
MT-620 AM powder coatings can be applied by corona electrostatic equipment. In all application processes the aspect obtained is subject to variation, depending on the method of application (type of gun, nozzle, etc) and the shape/type of component. We recommend that the actual application parameters are adapted and adjusted depending on the type of component and with each powder batch to give a finish in accordance with our color card. The following procedure is given as a guideline when using these finishes. We recommend the use of flat jet spray nozzles. To ensure powder homogeneity, the complete content of the boxes should be emptied completely into the feed hopper. For manual application it is essential to ensure that an even film thickness is applied, and, in all Instances, sinusoidal gun movements should be avoided. All powders can show small color differences from batch to batch, this is normal and unavoidable. Applicators and fabricators are advised to use a single batch for parts that will be assembled together. Differences are more likely with special effect powders. Bonded products have better application properties than blended products (more stable) but attention should still be paid to line settings to avoid “marble effect” and changes in aspect after recycling. Different substrates (Aluminium, steel, galvanized steel, etc.), use of primer, and big changes in film thickness may give a different aspect. Products with different codes should not be mixed even if same color and gloss.
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.
