Environment Friendly

Because no solvents are present, powder coating is an environmentally friendly and cost effective alternative to traditional liquid paints. Unlike other finishes, powder coatings don’t contain heavy metals such as cadmium and lead. Powder coating helps to eliminate wastage.

One of the key advantages powder coating has over other finishing processes is how safe it is for the environment and for the people who work with it. Unlike traditional solvent-based wet paint, powder coating is considered a “green” technology that doesn’t generate harmful solvents or airborne pollutants. Compared to painting, powder coating reduces finishing line emissions, produces far less harmful waste by-product, and doesn’t pose a significant health risk.

Powder coating is already non-toxic, free of VOCs and inert, so it’s already compliant with environmental protection standards. Because of this, powder coating doesn’t require the same rigorous standards for use, safety and disposal as industrial paint.

Powder coating doesn’t present a spill hazard, so there’s no reason for a special paint booth or separate storage to stay compliant. All that’s necessary for powder coating is equipment that’s up to the established safety standards.
