Organic Coatings

Organic finishing is defined as the application of an organic film or coating to a surface to alter its inherent characteristics. More common designations for organic finishing are "painting" or "powder coating." Chem Processing, Inc. offers a variety of organic finishes, including both thermoplastic and thermosetting powder. Thermoplastic powders are applied as dry particulates that form a smooth coating when exposed to heat and soften upon subsequent reheating. Examples of thermoplastic powders include nylon, PTFE (Teflon®), polyethylene and vinyl. Thermosetting powders, which do not soften upon reheating, include epoxies, epoxy/polyester hybrids and acrylics. Advantages of such coatings include corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, aging characteristics, appearance and cost.
