AAA Powder Coating, Inc. services and processes are known for high quality and broad capabilities. Power coating often provides better adhesion, durability and chemical resistance than liquid coatings. Power coating is also environmentally friendly, free of solvents and is easy to reclaim and recycle.
Environmental Compliance
Powder Coating’s efficiency, economy, and energy savings works for the environment as well, as this process eliminates VOCs – meaning the air is environmentally safer. Installation, expansion and running of a powder coating operation is significantly simplified, creating the potential to place a powder coating finishing operation in areas where other production systems would not be permitted. The employees also love powder coating’s reduced housekeeping problems and minimum contamination of clothing, since dry powder does not emit the kinds of fumes liquid paint does.
