Powder coatings are renowned for being environmentally responsible. They are 100% solid – this is the paint with no solvents, no fumes, and no dangerous gases, and there are no harmful low VOC (volatile organic solvents) that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and global warmingPowder coatings have many advantages over alternative finishes. They can be sprayed with much higher efficiency than wet paints, because over-sprayed powder can be collected and re-applied. Which means, as much as 99% of the original product can be used, with minimal waste sent for landfill.
