Dataset description

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. It is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. It is a multi-step surface finishing process suitable for metal and non-metal substrates. The method includes a preparation, application, and curing stage. Powder coating is a mixture of polymer resin, flow modifiers, leveling agents, and other additives. After it has been heated and cured, powder coating produces tough finishes able to withstand extreme weather conditions while resisting fading and cracking.
