Powder coating is an environmentally friendly process that, in an era of environmental and safety consciousness, has become the favoured alternative to traditional methods of metal substrate coating.

The application of powder coating involves no emissions into the air or water as they consist of dry matter only – unlike liquid paint applications, which require an evaporating VOC and cleaning solvents.

In addition, powder coating finishes are more durable and last much longer than liquid paint, are corrosion and chemical resistant, and only require one application, compared to liquid, to yield a thick, strong coat.

 

Environmental Information about Powder Coating

New Zealand is a tough environment, with it’s strong ultra-violet levels and salty air, which is why we know that power coating is the optimum choice for coating surfaces that need to brave the elements. The environmental impact of powder coating is also much less than the application of wet paints, helping to uphold our clean, green New Zealand image and reputation.

Regular paint releases high levels of organic compounds. These compounds create ozone, which contribute to a range of health problems as well as air pollution. Some of the harmful chemicals found in paint are called volatile organic compounds, or “VOCs”. VOCs vaporise as regular liquid paint dries, reacting with other elements to produce ozone. The powder coating we use is VOC-free, a vastly superior product to traditional paints.
