TCI Powder Coatings Exhibits at FABTECH 2016!
TCI is exhibiting this week at the 2016 FABTECH event at the Las
Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada! TCI experts
are showcasing and answering questions about powder coatings in booth #C47027. We are specifically focused on sharing knowledge of TruIllusion powder coatings and the TruBond
powder coating series.
Coatings within the TruIllusion powder coating line are
specially designed to reflect light from different angles of the coating,
changing the coating and therefore the illusion, offering a special effect
appearance. TCI Powder Coatings believes these coatings add a unique and
powerful effect to any piece of equipment. Along with this quality, the
coatings protect, improve aesthetic, and make the product last longer. To learn
more about TruIllusion products, visit this
page.
The TruBond Bonded Metallic powder coating series is also being featured.
These coatings contain metallic pigments, and offer consistent batch-to-batch
quality and high percentage of bond, improving application and performance. To

Off-Road Powder Coatings

In need of coatings for off-road applications, such as agriculture and construction parts? TCI Powder Coatings offers a wide variety of coating options specially designed to meet your needs.
For environmental, economic, and production benefits, powder coatings are commonly used in both agricultural and construction industries. Within both industries, equipment such as tractors and bulldozers must withstand repetitive usage and abuse. For this reason, equipment must be coated with a strong and durable coating. Our coatings are made to withstand these harsh environments, providing durability and impact resistance. Contact a TCI representative today to speak about coatings for your shop’s needs.
To find out more about these coatings, visit the TCI website here.

The Benefits Series: Safety
Safety is the first priority in any industrial warehouse. Keeping
employees safe ensures that they will be able to work daily, will have
confidence in their abilities, and limits extra costs to employers due to employee
sickness or pain from unsafe labor.
With powder coating, safety risks are minimal, giving you the time to focus on other important things within your facility. Like we said in our last post, powder coating does not contain chemicals such as solvents or VOCs, both of which can be extremely detrimental to not only the environment but the health of workers. Solvent free also means fire safe, further decreasing hazards for workers.
Unlike other finishes, when not being sprayed, powders do not pose any health risks. Additionally, powders have less nose, mouth, and throat irritation than solvent-based finishes. Powders do not call for industrial hand cleaners to get them off of the skin. Instead, workers may simply remove powder with warm water.
Although it is technically possible for powder coating materials to combust in a very narrow concentration of powder and air, this is very unlikely, and powder coating usage instructions are easy to follow and understand in order for workers to prevent hazardous situations.
