What is the difference between electrostatic painting and powder coating?Although they are often confused, electrostatic painting and powder coating are completely separate techniques. Electrostatic painting can be done on-site, at your home or office. Powder coating must be done at an off-site facility where it can be finished in an oven. | | By ProMatcher Staff | | Updated: 08/27/2015 | | |
Answer: Electrostatic painting and powder coating both use an electric charge, but they differ in application and curing. Electrostatic painting uses liquid paint that is electrically charged and sprayed onto a surface, allowing for even coverage and on-site application without heat. Powder coating uses a dry powder that is electrostatically applied and then cured in a high-temperature oven, creating a thicker, highly durable finish. Electrostatic painting is ideal for existing structures, while powder coating is typically done off-site in a controlled facility. | | TISW Corporation | Answer: we don't offer this service | | Industrial Repair | Answer: powder coating needs to be a baked finish and electrostatic does not and is more resiliant | | INNOVATIVE PAINT PROS | | | ProMatcher | Answer: Powder coat is baked on. | | Pro Color Painting | Answer: Electrostatic painting can be done on-site and the item will air dry in a matter of hours.
