Powder – The Sustainable Choice for Corrosion Protection
Liquid coatings have traditionally been the go-to system for long term corrosion protection. But with performance advancements and growing environmental concerns, powder is quickly becoming the technology of choice for many manufacturers. This session will begin with a basic overview of powder, application techniques and chemistries, followed by the powder systems and technologies which will offer the best corrosion performance, including powders placed within ISO 12944. We will review next how powder compares to liquid in sustainability, performance, and cost. Finally, discuss the upstream powder coating resin and its sustainable value proposition.

Furthering Sustainability in Powder
Those of us in the powder coating industry know our technology platform brings inherent sustainability benefits, but further innovations are needed throughout the value chain to keep this technology on the leading edge of sustainability. The powder industry is uniquely positioned to bring real, viable, and innovative solutions to facilitate Circular Economy advancements in the coatings market. This goes beyond the well-known VOC and waste reduction benefits of a powder coating to driving important improvements in terms of service life, energy consumption, and CO2 footprint. This presentation will discuss key advancements to achieve those ambitions, with a deeper technical dive into incorporation of rPet into polyester powder resin in appliance and office furniture paint formulations.
