Is it better to use plastic powder or paint? Professional answers for you

In industry, various coatings are also needed, and plastic powder may not be as familiar as paint. Therefore, when choosing coatings, is plastic powder better for newcomers? Is it better to paint? This is a very headache inducing problem for consumers. Now let a professional plastic powder manufacturer tell you the differences between the two?

Difference 1:

They are two different processes.

The spraying effect is good, the cost is low, the color is correct, and it is beautiful.

Paint is expensive and the effect is average. Polyester paint or fluorocarbon paint can have better results.

And doors and windows are generally used in environments with low corrosiveness, and the sealing performance of plastic is sufficient.

Paint is used in environments with high corrosiveness.

The final sprayed product coating is difficult to repair after being damaged, while paint is easier.

Plastic powder is a material used in the spray coating process. Simply put, plastic powder is heated at high temperatures and sprayed onto the surface of the material by compressed air.

And paint is a two-component or single component liquid sprayed onto the surface of the material through pressure.

Difference 2:

1: Environmental friendliness. From an environmental perspective, water-based paints have natural advantages over oil-based paints (solvent based wood coatings). In theory, the lower the VOC content, the higher the environmental friendliness. However, the low VOC content has an impact on the wear resistance, hardness, and scratch resistance of oil-based paints, which have always been technical challenges that water-based paints need to overcome. How to achieve both environmental protection and high quality is currently the focus of technological research and development for major coating production enterprises.

2: Cost effectiveness. Water based paints have relatively high technical requirements in terms of drying time, hardness, plumpness, and other properties. The manufacturing process is relatively complex and requires large production equipment to produce products with stable performance, resulting in relatively high production costs. This is also the reason why water-based paints of the same grade are much more expensive than oil-based paints. It is understood that among the mid-range products currently on the market, oil-based paint costs around 200 yuan per set, including curing agents, thinners, and paints, with a total weight of about 5 kilograms; Water based paint costs around 400 yuan per barrel, with 18 liters per barrel.

The above is the difference between plastic powder and paint products. Due to its advantages of economy, environmental protection, low pollution, and low price, plastic powder has become increasingly popular in the market. Which coating you like depends entirely on your own ideas.
