When you powder coat, 95% of the powder is used, leaving a material
loss of less than 5%. That minimal loss can be recovered and blended with
virgin powder to be utilized once again. Any material loss or overspray of
powder coating can be re-used, unlike other finishes that will be lost or must
be disposed of.
All of this reusability means there is virtually no waste in powder
coating.
Additionally, the air requirements are less restrictive. The air extraction for powder spray booths is
a lot less than those for solvent-based finishes.
The lower cost of a powder application plant is an additional
economical bonus. Compared to other systems, this plant’s cost is fairly low.
Also low in cost: labor. Powder coating lends itself well to automation, so
labor becomes much less costly. Additionally, coaters only need minimal
training and supervision. You also save on insurance and statutory safety
features because solvent free means fire safe.
Last but not least, less rework due to lower rejection rates means
less labor and material cost.
