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.
