Visit www.nordson.com. select powder coating. Or visit pci.org. Nordson is a manufaturer of powder coating equipment, pci is the powder coating institute.
In a nutshell, the powder coating process involves the application of solid pigment and modifiers in the form of fine powder. Typically the powder is electrically charged by ion bombardment in the applicator gun and is attracted to the part which is grounded. When the part is heated in the curing oven, the powder will flow out and cross link providing a very tough, durable finish.
