All powder coatings have value in industrial applications, but those with superior durability are best choices to withstand the prolonged rigors of such environments. These include:

• Epoxy
• Halar® 
• Nylon
• Polyester

Halar's extreme durability and thin, ultra-smooth coating qualities make it an ideal choice for the many industrial uses which require long-lasting protection with minimal friction. High performance and resistance to numerous chemicals, corrosives, moisture, weathering, and other risks push Halar to the top of any list for challenging industrial applications.

Choosing an appropriate coating for any application, including industrial ones, naturally depends on the part to be coated, how it is used, coating thickness and other performance characteristics required. For example, epoxy is exceptionally durable, but many formulations have poor UV tolerance.

One of the most important jobs powder coatings do is to protect vulnerable metal substrates from damage and wear. Common causes of such damage include temperature extremes, exposure to chemicals, solvents, and corrosive or oxidizing substances, contact with water and moisture, impacts, abrasions, and general wear. 

In addition to critical protection of parts and equipment, spray, fluidized bed, and dip coatings can offer such benefits as:

• Noise and vibration reduction
• Improved safety and ergonomics
• Electrical insulation
