Powder Coating and Paint are 2 different ways of surface treatment of steel furniture like locker,wardrobe,cabinet,shelving,mobile pedestal etc. Both of them could protect and decorate the semi-finished metal products, and improve the aesthetics and durability of those products at the same time.

 

Now,most manufacturers are using powder coating instead of paint.Here is the differences and reason.

1. Production process

Paint is a colored liquid that used on the surface of plate by using brush or spary gun.

Powder coating is a powder that is electrosatic sprayed on the surface of steel plate by high pressure spary guns.And then move in to industrial oven for high-temperature leveling,solified and adhesion.Those plates with powder coating is anti-rust,waterproof, corrosion-resistant and colors are not easy to change.

2. Surface

For paint,the surface of plates may not spread evenly and more suitable for industrial products.Powder coating has 2 types of finish that are smooth and texture.Smooth is bright and texture is not easy to get scratched.Those finis are most used for places like office,home,school,gym,supermarket,stadium,garage,workshop ect.

3. Cost

Paint needs to be painted by hand with high labor cost.Powder coating could be painted on auto-matic production line to save labor cost.And the powder is easy for recycle.

 

4. Environment protection

Paint usually has strong taste and harmful for human’s body. Powder coating is environmental-frienly and odourless and harmless for people.
