Powder Coating – Environmental Benefits

Using the right systems and methods, we can help reduce the impact of your powder coating application even more.

Environmental Benefits of Powder Coating

You can achieve the durable finishes you want while taking care of the environment. From initial preparation to delivery of your finished product, our entire process is designed to maintain compliance with all environmental regulations regarding atmospheric pollution. When you partner with Keystone Koating for your powder coating needs, you gain the peace of mind that comes from being a good steward of the planet.

Powder coating is generally more environmentally friendly than traditional liquid paint because it:

  • Contains little to no solvents, so it emits far fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and hazardous air pollutants.
  • Produces less overspray waste, since unused powder can often be collected and reused.
  • Has higher transfer efficiency, meaning more of the coating ends up on the part rather than in the air or on surrounding surfaces.
  • Eliminates many liquid paint cleanup chemicals, reducing solvent use and disposal issues.
  • Can be applied in a single thicker coat, which may reduce total material use in some applications.
  • Often lasts longer, which can reduce repainting frequency and the associated material, energy, and waste impacts.

Using products and processes that prioritize the environment, powder coating is one of the cleanest options on the market today. Our processes meet the standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council in the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) business program.

  • Smart surface preparation: Our proprietary 8 Stage Pretreatment system relies on collected rainwater and eliminates wastewater discharge through evaporation methods. This system produces no hazardous byproducts during surface preparation.
  • Advanced powder coating facilities: Our facilities use energy-efficient infrared heating systems to expedite the curing process and reduce our carbon footprint. We recognize the value of overspray collection and use systems and techniques designed for maximum reclamation.
  • Environmentally friendly powder coating:  While paint creates hazardous pollutants and chips away, our powders offer durability that benefits the environment over the long term.
