           Benefits Of Powder



Environmental:
  • No Emissions
  • No Disposal Issues
  • No Regulatory Requirements

  • Life:
  • Exceeds 10 times the life of wet paint
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Overall durability from scratches, dents and general usage
  • Salt spray durability testing yields 150 hours for paint and 1500+ hours for powder

  • Costs:
  • Powder is a one step process that results in finished parts within 2 hours. Painting requires priming (24 hours), finish coat (24 hours), and clean up (unknown)

  • Since there are no permits or regulations for powder, there are no hidden or extra costs

  • Salt spray durability testing yields 150 hours for paint and 1500+ hours for powder

  • Paint's regulatory costs are estimated at between 15 - 20% of the cost of materials

    Raw Material Costs Example:

    Powder:
    -Material- -Cost- -Total-
    3.2 lbs of Powder $4.00/lb $12.80

    Paint:
    -Material- -Cost- -Total-
    1 Gal Paint $7.25/gal  
    1 Gal Primer $6.50/gal  
    1/2 Gal Thinner $2.75  
    1/3 Gal Reducer $3.80  
      Total > $20.30

  • Comparison does not include additional regulatory costs, lost time costs of drying and labor costs for other processes

  • We believe health risks associated with the application of wet paints speak for themselves
