What is a powder coating? A powder coating is a type of coating applied as a dry powder.
Unlike a conventional liquid coating, the powder coating does not include a solvent, therefore
it does not contain volatile organic compounds, (VOC's).

The What, Why and How of Powder Coating - White Paper via ThomasNet.com includes glossary
of common powder coating terms, tables of finishing line components, typical material cost composition,
multiple topic worksheets, emerging trends in powder coating, conversion to powder coating, etc.
