VINYL POWDER COATINGS

THE ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH SOLVENT BASED FINISHES AND LEGISLATION AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION HAVE EMPHASIZED THE NEED FOR THE COATINGS INDUSTRY TO SEEK NEW WAYS TO CIRCUMVENT THE AIR POLLUTION PROBLEM. SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES CURRENTLY BEING CONSIDERED ARE: (1) SOLVENT RECOVERY, (2) SOLVENT INCINERATION, AND (3) APPLICATION OF COATINGS WHICH DO NOT EMIT VOLATILE ORGANIC MATERIALS. ALL OF THESE APPROACHES TO REDUCING AIR POLLUTION ARE IN COMMERICAL USE TODAY. THIS ARTICLE DEALS WITH NON-VOLATILE ORGANIC POWDER COATING WITH SPECIFIC EMPHASIS ON VINYL POWDERS. /AUTHOR/
