Powder coating as a process involves coating a surface where powder is applied using compressed air method, electrostatic method, and sometimes fluidised bed method. To achieve the coating process, the applied material in powder form is heated using an oven to attain its melting point. At this point, the powder is able to flow forming a smooth film that firmly dries. The result is a durable finish that is resistant to peeling, cracking, rust, scratches, and UV rays.
