Comparing Powders: Hybrids, Epoxies, Urethanes, and Polyesters


The 6000 SERIES EPOXY/ POLYESTER HYBRIDS combine excellent decorative appearance with superb protective properties and is recommended for indoor applications. Typical applications of our 6000 series would include automotive accessories and automobile underbody parts, office furniture, power tools, sporting equipment, metal shelving, display racks, and electrical components.

The 7000 EPOXY SYSTEMS yield excellent chemical resistance and superior mechanical properties and like the 6000 series, they are recommended for indoor applications such as automotive accessories and automobile underbody parts, office furniture, power tools, sporting equipment, metal shelving, display racks, and electrical components.

The 8000 SERIES URETHANES provide very good resistance to chemical and corrosive conditions and superior resistance to color and gloss change in areas of sunlight exposure making them a good choice for interior or exterior applications. 8000 series uses would include applications to numerous automotive accessories and underbody parts, architectural products such as aluminum extrusions, patio and lawn furniture, farm equipment and garden implements, sporting goods, and playground equipment.

The 9000 SERIES POLYESTER (TGIC) SYSTEMS offer similar mechanical properties to epoxy and epoxy/polyester hybrid systems. However, the 9000 series is recommended for both interior and exterior applications and are also suitable for thick film applications. Use this series in many of the same instances as with our 8000 series.
