Does powder finishes effect the environment?
This one of best reason for using powder over a liquid finish is that it’s environmentally friendly and virtually pollution free. No volatile organic compounds (VOC s) or solvents to evaporate into the atmosphere. And powder is not such a health risk to our employees. Powder is so environmentally friendly that all of the air born powder in the booth goes through the powder booth filter system and is then vented back into the work area. In fact one of the major elements in expanding the market for powder coating has been the implementation over the past 30 years of stringent air pollution controls set by the U.S. environmental protection agency.
