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
