Is powder cost competitive with paint?
Even though the material and process cost of powder coating are considerably higher than they are for paint, powder remains competitive. Government and environmental regulations have greatly affected the handling and disposal of paint and paint bi-products. No longer can paint brushes, filters, and other contaminated materials be sent off to the land fills. Spent solvents that use to be used as weed killer must now be sent with manifest to disposal sites and reclaim facilities.
