ABOUT THIS BOOK

Boasting significant advantages over liquid finishes, powder coating technology has

received mushrooming acceptance in recent years. It now constitutes 10% of the total

industrial finishing market in North America.

.. - - .._

A major driving force behind the growth of powder coating is environmental regulation of

air, water, and waste disposal. Such regulation has a hard-hitting, detrimental impact on

liquid finishes, which must have venting, filtering, and solvent recovery systems to

control volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Powder, being a dry finish, contains no

VOCs, making powder users much less encumbered by environmental regulations. The

nature of powder coating ais0 makes it economical to use and safer and more comfort-

able for workers than its liquid counterpart.

Concurrent with powder coating’s growing popularity is research and development

enhancing the technology and opening it up to more applications. These new develop-

ments prompted the publication of this third edition of “User’s Guide to Powder Coating.”

The book is a storehouse of updated information for current and potential powder

coating users. Its editor and contributors-people on the cutting edge of the powder

coating technology-provide readers with the most recent hows, whens, and whys of

powder coating.
