Powder coating has a number of benefits, one of which has already been mentioned earlier. Powder coating a metal object allows for a dense sturdy finish, more durable than conventional paints. Secondly, this process only requires a single coat so it is fast, efficient, and easy. In addition to its ease of application, it allows for custom textured and coloured finishes as the powders involved can be nicely manipulated. Furthermore, powder coating objects results in a remarkably even finish as the powder melts and sets across the entire object at once, leaving no application traces or drips. Finally, the powder coating process is environmentally friendly as it produces minimal volatile organic compounds.
