Is Powder Coating environmentally safe?
With the growing need to reduce pollution, powder coating is an ideal process and a safe alternative to the chromium plating processes. Since powder coating uses no solvents it is a much safer process to the environment and is virtually pollution free. The powder coating process has little impact on the environment since the process emits zero or near zero volatile organic compounds (VOC). The spray booths are easily maintained and cleaned without the use of harmful solvents or paint washes. Since there are no solvents used in the powder coating system and the coating process does not emit the kinds of vapors and fumes that liquid paint does, there is the reduced need for contamination clothing.
