Unlike traditional liquid spraying, polymer coating has better weather resistance, fire safety, coating durability. Powder is applied to the piece in a dry state and melted under the effect of temperature, forming a solid film. After hardening a beautiful and durable coating is obtained. To choose the right powder paint, experts recommend paying attention to the following points.
How to choose a powder paint
- Types of powder coatings. Powder paints differ in chemical composition. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
- Polyester paintResistant to UV rays, atmospheric moisture and temperature fluctuations. It is best suited for decorating facades, painting garden furniture, equipment that are operated in the open air. To the disadvantages, specialists refer low dielectric indicators.
- Epoxy-polyester paintRecommended for corrosion protection of metal constructions that are used indoors. The material has a beautiful appearance, smooth gloss and resistance to water and petroleum products. However, it is not possible to get a matte finish when using low-temperature products.
- Epoxy paintis characterized by resistance to chemical attack. The material has high dielectric properties. The coating burns out in the sun, it cannot withstand strong temperature fluctuations.
- Surface types. The choice of powder paint must take into account the nature of the surface to be protected.
- The ideal choice is a smooth base, which allows you to apply a wide range of paint materials. It can be a powder paint with high gloss (up to 95%) or a product with a matte finish (7-10%).
- When the surface has welds, chips or sinks, you can use the paint “shagreen” without additional preparation. When cured, it forms a coating that resembles orange peel.
- If there are numerous and fairly large defects on the base, in this case it is better to give preference to powder paint with a “coarse shagreen” surface. But you have to save money on substrate preparation and then you have to put up with a higher powder consumption.
