Optimizing Powder Coating Selection, Efficiency, and Performance
3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Basic
Achieving a high‑quality, cost‑effective powder coated finish requires more than choosing the right chemistry. It demands a clear understanding of how formulation, application and process variables work together. This session simplifies powder coating selection by outlining key chemistries, performance characteristics and end‑use suitability while also revealing how factors such as specific gravity, transfer efficiency and coverage impact true applied cost. Building on this foundation, we explore how gun settings, electrostatic charge, airflow and powder delivery influence film build, appearance and defect prevention. Attendees will learn to interpret technical data, diagnose common application issues and optimize parameters to reduce waste and improve durability. Participants will leave with a practical, integrated framework for selecting the right coating and applying it with maximum efficiency and consistency.
