As explained by Architectural Digest in their article “What Is Powder Coating? 7 Things to Know”, powder coating is a dry finishing process commonly used to coat metal surfaces. Unlike traditional spray painting, this method uses electrostatically charged powder—similar in texture to baking flour—that’s applied to the surface and then cured under heat or ultraviolet light.
The powder used in this process is typically made from a polymer resin system and is combined with pigments, leveling agents, and other modifiers to ensure a smooth, high-quality finish. The electrostatic charge ensures the powder clings tightly to the surface, and once cured, the result is a tough, protective, and visually appealing coating.
