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.
