Thermoplastic Powder Coating

Powder coating based on thermoplastic polymers employ relatively simple methods of manufacturing and application, no involvement of complicated curing mechanisms, raw materials that in many cases belong to commodity polymers, acceptable properties for many different applications etc. contributed to the popularity of these coatings in the market in very less time.

At the same time, however, weaknesses such as high temperature of fusion, low pigmentation level, poor solvent resistance and bad adhesion on metal surfaces etc. were also there. And due to such problems inherent to the thermoplastic powder coatings were successfully overcome later on by the thermosetting powders which very quickly took the largest part of the market.

Advantages of thermoplastic powder coatings

Excellent solvent resistance (polyolefins),
Outstanding weathering resistance (polyvinylidene fluoride),
Exceptional wear resistance (polyamides),
A relatively good price/performance ratio (polyvinyl chloride)
High aesthetic appearance (polyesters).

These advantageous properties combined with the simplicity of the system, created a considerable market share for thermoplastic powder coatings.
