The powder explosion — the current state

Powder technology has spread like the proverbial wildfire in the space of a few short years from Europe, where it all began, to North America, Africa, Japan, Australia, Eastern Europe, and beyond. This coating revolution has been accompanied by an information explosion of such magnitude that there is no segment of our industry which is still unaware of the existence of powder coating. Just five years ago, I couldn't have said that. Indeed, two years ago, the North American Finishing Industry was still largely unaware of the existence of powder, let alone the fantastic advantages offered by it.
