Manufacturing of Powder Coatings; Series 1 of 3

By
The process of manufacturing powder coatings is a relatively complex process that must be carefully controlled to ensure a high-quality final product.  Powder coatings are manufactured in a multi-step process of pre-mixing, extrusion, and micronization.  Basically, materials are blended, melted, cooled, and then pulverized.  This blog will focus on pre-mixing, the first step in the process. 

Pre-mixing: this involves the weighing and mixing of all the raw materials, which includes resins, curing agents, pigments, and additives.
