Powder coating is an organic coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between conventional liquid paint and powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. Our thermoset polymer coatings are applied electrostatically and then cured under heat to allow the powder to flow and form a hard “skin” that is tougher than conventional paint. RMF meets a number of specifications calling for various polyester, polyurethane, polyester-epoxy, and straight epoxy polymers.

Applications
- Coating ferrous metals such as stampings, castings, forgings as well as aluminum extrusions
- Uses include automotive/heavy truck components, industrial equipment, and household appliances
- Hundreds of colors and textures
- Parts of all sizes and shapes
- Can be applied as a single coating or applied over plating or over electrocoating
- Typical thickness of 50-100 microns of thickness
Advantages
- Because powder coating does not have a liquid carrier, it can produce thicker coatings than conventional liquid coatings without running or sagging
- Produces minimal appearance differences between horizontally coated surfaces and vertically coated surfaces
- Environmentally friendly – no volatile organics
- Durable corrosion resistant coating
