Power Coating
Environmentally Friendly
Powder coatings meet environmental standards because they
contain no solvents and emit virtually no hazardous air pollutants
(HAPs) or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) so there is no need
for a costly pollution control system.1
Since the oversprayed powder can be reclaimed, waste is substantially
minimized. The workpiece pretreatment (abrasive blast cleaning)
allows the powder to directly adhere to the base metal, eliminating
the use of primers and creating a monolithic coat with the substrate.
No solvents are required during clean-up. Most importantly, the
workers exposure to hazards is greatly minimized. Our pretreatment
process is also earth-friendly. We do not use chemicals (phosphates
or other hazardous cleaners). We contain our shot blast operation
in an environmentally approved booth.
