Powder Coating Inspection Solutions
Many measurable variables influence the long-term performance of powder coatings on a variety of substrates. When applied properly, powder coating provides a versatile and durable finish that offers distinct advantages over traditional coatings, such as enhanced resistance to scratches and marring. This presentation explores the essential tools and test standards available to powder coaters, ensuring consistent quality and proper curing, and ultimately saving time and reducing costs. Key measurements discussed include powder coating thickness (before and after curing), oven temperature profiling, both quantitative and qualitative adhesion testing, scratch/gouge film hardness, gloss levels, as well as the surface profile of prepared substrates and textured coatings.
