Welcome to the blog of Exotic’s Staalwerke en Powdercoating, where we’re passionate about sustainable solutions in the steelwork and powder coating industry. Today, we’ll explore the environmental impact of powdercoating and why it’s a sustainable choice for your projects.
Environmental Benefits of Powdercoating:
- Low VOCs
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that can be released as gases from certain solids or liquids. They can have harmful effects on human health and the environment. Traditional liquid coatings typically contain VOCs, while powder coatings release minimal, if any, VOCs. By choosing powdercoating, you’re helping to reduce air pollution and improve air quality. - Minimal Waste
Powdercoating has a very high transfer efficiency, meaning that most of the powder material sprayed onto the object being coated actually adheres to it. Any overspray can be collected and reused, minimizing waste. This is in contrast to liquid coatings, where much of the material is lost during application. - Energy Efficiency
The process of powdercoating requires less energy compared to other coating methods. For example, no solvents are needed for thinning or cleanup. Less energy consumption translates to lower greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable planet. - Durability
Powdercoatings are known for their durability. Once applied, they provide excellent resistance to weather, chemicals, corrosion, and abrasion. This longevity reduces the need for frequent recoating, further minimizing environmental impact. - Water Conservation
Powdercoating does not require water for application or cleanup, unlike liquid coatings. This conserves water resources and reduces the environmental footprint of your projects.
