The Hidden Science Behind Surface Preparation for Perfect Powder Coating Results
While most manufacturers focus on powder coating formulations and application techniques, industry leaders know the true secret lies beneath the surface—literally. Proper substrate preparation accounts for 70% of coating performance failures according to a 2023 SSPC study, yet remains the most overlooked aspect in powder coating projects. Why Surface Prep Dictates Coating Success Molecular Bonding FundamentalsPowder coatings don’t simply stick to surfaces—they form covalent bonds at the molecular level. Even 3 microns of residual oil (equivalent to a fingerprint smear)Read More …
