About Epoxy Powder coating
Epoxy is a thermosetting epoxide polymer that polymerizes and crosslinks when mixed
with a catalyzing agent also known as a "hardener.? Most common epoxy resins
are produced from a reaction between epichlorohydrin and bisphenol-A. Epoxy powder coatings are used for coating such items as pipe, rebar, electrical
equipment, and underbody automotive parts as well as a primer. In addition, epoxy
powder coatings can also be used for furniture, shelving, and tools. Epoxy powder coatings provide the best resistance against chemicals and corrosion.
Epoxy powder coatings can be specially formulated to be especially chemical-and
heat-resistant. However, epoxy powder coatings are very similar to their liquid
counterparts, in that they also have poor resistance to UV radiation and will chalk. When using epoxy powder coatings there is no need to use a primer, as the epoxy
will bond well to metal substrates. In addition, epoxy is the best powder formulation
for chemical resistance and chip guard.
