The powder coating application areas are as below:

Automobile industry

The cause because of economy, aspect such as quality and environment, the powder coating application in auto industry are gradually increasing for the reasons of economy, quality and environment.

Powder coating is used as the second painting in auto industry. Many automobile producers use powder coating as the second painting, such as Lincoln, Xuefolan, Daimle, Chrysler, Benz, Dodge, Jeep, etc.

Transparent powder coating is the coating succedaneum of transparent solvent type. It has been used in tyres. There are some famous automobile producers who have used this kind of product as bottom painting in automobile parts, such as BMW, Volvo, etc.

Those who need protection function and decorative performance parts also adopt this kind of product, such as tyre, wheel hub cover, lathe hand with the radiator, etc.

Electrical equipment industry

Electrical equipment industry is the only maximal market of thermosetting powder coating. It approximately accounts for 1/3 of marketing portion. That powder coating application can make the products have beautiful appearance, good abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, temperature resistance and trauma resistant.

Powder coating always can be used in front board and lateral plate of refrigerator, the washing machine top cover, clothes dryer, air-conditioning, water heater, dish-washing machine rack, refrigerator and microwave oven cavity, etc.

Outdoor furniture, lawn and garden equipments

It is also a good choice for outdoor furniture for its good corrosion resistance and durability.

Building market

It has outstanding durability with many kinds and abundant color. The building market is gradually using. It supports the whole European building market, and in Northern American building market, it is gradually developing now.

The aluminum extrusion always adopts powder coating, such as fa?ade, fixing device and combination furniture. It is also widely used in the freeway devices, such as lamp-standard, fences, signs, rails, etc.

 

The powder coating with polyfluortetraethylene additive can make the lamp-standard, lawn furniture and shelf abrasion resistant.

   

The powder coating is always used in brass protection layer, such as doorknob, gemels, handrail, lamps and lanterns, tube accessories.

Elevated railroad/Bridge

Concrete in armoured concrete surely has some gaps or small openings to be diluted to cause the corrosion of reinforcing rod. Owing to the volume of ferric oxide after rust will expand to several times, it will cause the cracking of the concrete, and make the reinforcing rod expose in the outdoor environment. Water and some other aggressive medium will quicken the corrosion.

It is a good way to use epoxy coating to protect the reinforcing rod from corrosion, for the corrosion resistant of the reinforcing rod can prolong the using time with low expenses.

The advantages of coating reinforcing rod:

The coating has extremely well corrosion resistant.
After solidifying, the coating will not be melted.
It can prolong the using time of building more than 50 years.
Beneficial.
The cost can be controlled.
The operation of coating reinforcing rod is easy.

The cost analysis of coating reinforcing:
More than 20 years application, and compared to other corrosion resistant measure, it is most cheap.
The use of coating reinforcing rod is flexible. It can be used according to the requirements. If the whole project chooses this rod, the total cost just holds the 1 － 2% of the total investment.

Electron/ electricity industry
In the electron and the electricity industry, powder coating always can be used as outer protection of product or part. However, people are measuring other unique functions of powder coating in the electron and the electricity industry.

In wire industry, the powder coating used in copper and aluminum wire can relieve environment issues greatly. Besides, powder coating toughness and durability can be convenient for the common operation of transformer and machine winding.

The conduction and discharging powder coatings in the electronic component sometimes turn out. But it is possible to produce static in electronic component production, testing and transportation, and these coating may provide the protection function of static releasing.

Non metal

At the very beginning, powder coating are just used in the decoration of metal surface, but with the development of powder coating technology, it can be used in the low temperature environment.

At present, people are studying the prescription to make the powder coating solidified under 100°C without any loss of quality and durability.

It is gradually used in the wood. The wooden products used in this kind of powder coating can also prolong the using time.

Future

In 2001, the total amount of global powder coating is more than 0.9 million and about 3.6 billion euros. The European market holds 43%, Asia 26%, North America 23%, and other markets 8%. In the coating market, powder coating holds the share about 4%-15%.

In accordance with the exclusive study or industrial experts’ opinions, the increasing rate of powder coating is about 4%-6%, which means its increasing is more than that of common coating.
Apart from the beneficial advantage, the durability of the powder coating received widely praises.
