If you are not sure what powdercoating is, it is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between conventional liquid paint and powdercoating is that the powdercoating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically, and then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin." The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.
