In recent years, the powder coat industry has seen significant advancements in technology, materials, and formulations. The field of powder coating is constantly evolving, and new innovations are being introduced regularly to improve performance, expand application possibilities, and address environmental concerns.
At Craddock, we never stop learning and innovating because as a supplier, it’s our job to bring value to your business. If you want to learn more about the advancements in powder coating and the finishing industry, we have you covered.
In recent years, one of the most notable advancements is the improved durability and functionality of powder coat material. One of the latest materials to hit the market is a unique hybrid powder coating that combines the advantages of polyurethane and epoxy.
This hybrid powder coating material offers superior durability and long-lasting protection against corrosion, impact, and wear. It also has excellent adhesion properties, making it ideal for use on a variety of surfaces, including metals, plastics, and composites.
Additionally, this hybrid powder coating has excellent color retention and UV resistance, making it an excellent choice for outdoor applications such as architectural facades and patio furniture.
Overall, this new material offers a superior combination of all the best properties you want in a finish. As the demand for more durable and environmentally friendly coating options continues to grow, we can expect to see even more exciting developments like this in the powder coat industry in the coming years.
Well before advanced formulations were introduced, powder coating has been a popular and cost effective choice in the finishing industry. Powder coating offers several benefits over traditional liquid painting methods.
First, it is more environmentally friendly, as it produces no harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and generates less waste. Powder coating is also more durable than liquid paint. It’s resistant to chipping, scratching, and color fading, making it ideal for heavy use and outdoor applications. Similar to liquid paint, it comes in a wide range of colors and finishes, including matte, gloss, metallic, and textured. Lastly, it is easy to apply and provides a consistent, uniform finish.
The best finishing choice for your business will depend on a variety of factors. Our experts are always available to help you choose between powder coating and liquid paint.
Another notable innovation in the industry is the increased use of automation and robotics in finishing processes, which has greatly improved efficiency and precision.
At our facility in Evansville, IN, we recently installed a new Gema automated powder coating line that brings several benefits to your business. It increases production efficiency and output by reducing the need for manual labor. The automated system ensures consistent powder coating application with a high transfer efficiency. This means more powder is getting on your product and we’re generating less waste.
Additionally, the system is designed to be versatile and can accommodate different product shapes and sizes, allowing you to customize your production line. This improves your responsiveness to market demands and enhances your competitiveness.
Finally, the automated line reduces the risk of workplace accidents and injuries, improving employee safety and reducing insurance costs.
