Powder
Coating is Environmentally Friendly
 You
hear everyday about pollution and its effect on the environment. A lot
of that pollution comes from harmful solvents, and thinners used in the
wet paint process. Some of these automotive paints are actually toxic.
Metal plating such as nickel and chrome use heavy metals that are extremely
toxic to the environment. If these solutions leach into the soil or find
their way into the water table, the toxic effects can last for years.
Power coating is an environmentally friendly alternative to toxic wet
paints and electro plating.
Powder coating is
an environmentally friendly process unlike solvent-based wet paint systems.
With EPA regulations growing ever stricter, powder coating is fast becoming
the technology of choice. Since the powder coating process does not use
solvents in any way, VOC emission problems are eliminated.
Powder coating is
just that, powder. It is non toxic, can be used on food service equipment
and, in it's power form, is no more harmful than dust. When it is cured
it becomes a tough and weather resistant coating for motorcycle frames,
car chassis, wheels and outdoor furniture. Powder coating helps make your
living environment more livable by offering a host of colors for wrought
iron, hand rails and other indoor and outdoor fixtures.
