Benefits of Powder
|
|
|
Environmentally: 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
This comparison does not include the additional regulatory costs or lost time costs of drying. It also doesn't include the labor for other processes.
We believe that the health risks associated with the application of wet paints speak for themselves.
