Also called powder coating, the electrostatic spray coating process involves a combination of a spray gun loaded with powdered polymer, electrical charges, heat-curing, and the magic of physics. The result is a permanently bonded layer of the chosen plastic coating.

Five Important Things to Know about Electrostatic Spray Coating

Powder coating provides protection and improves performance on countless parts and products across dozens of industries, from playground equipment and fishing gear, to medical supplies and high-voltage components.

1. Electrostatic Spray Coating Is Versatile

Numerous coatings can be applied through the electrostatic spray coating process, including nylon, epoxy, polyester, Halar, polyethylene, and others. Coatings can vary in thickness, and can be customized with colors, additives, and hybrid blends to meet your requirements.

2. Electrostatic Spray Coating Is Especially Durable

The electrostatic spray coating process works because of the attraction between grounded parts and electrically charged polymer powder. This attraction creates a remarkably strong, physical bond between the surface and the coating, resulting in one of the most durable coatings available.

3. Electrostatic Spray Coating Produces Minimal Waste

Because of the electrically charged bond between the product being coated and the polymer coating material, virtually all of the powder sprayed onto a part is drawn to it, so there is little overspray or wasted coating.

4. Electrostatic Spray Coating Is Safe

Because no solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are required, the electrostatic spray coating process is environmentally friendly, and safe for workers and consumers, too.

5. Electrostatic Spray Coating Is All Around Us

Once you are aware of what electrostatic spray coated products look like, you'll notice it everywhere around you. Shopping carts, metal office furniture, bike racks, patio furniture, car rims, display racks, and countless other items benefit from this valuable coating.
