Colour that lasts. Uniform coatings, durable protection – surfaces perfectly finished.
Powder coating in the metalworking industry: efficiency, durability and environmental friendliness
Powder coating has established itself as one of the best surface finishing methods in metal processing. It offers not only an outstanding appearance but also high resistance to corrosion, chemicals and mechanical stress. We rely on NORDSON systems and benefit from innovative technology that enables an even, high-quality coating.
What is powder coating?
In powder coating, a fine plastic powder is applied electrostatically to the metal surface and then cured at high temperatures. This process creates a uniform, durable coating that serves both decorative and functional purposes.
Advantages of powder coating
High process stability
– Thanks to the innovative control systems from NORDSON, a uniform powder layer is guaranteed, resulting in a high-quality finished surface.Efficient powder recovery
– Modern NORDSON systems enable almost loss-free powder recovery, which reduces material costs and protects the environment.Maximum adhesion & longevity
– Precise control of the spraying parameters produces an extremely resistant surface that protects against weathering and chemicals.High automation & flexibility
– NORDSON systems integrate easily into production processes, so that a wide variety of metal parts can be coated quickly and efficiently.Environmentally friendly coating technology
– As no solvents are used in powder coating, there are no VOC emissions (volatile organic compounds), which makes the process more environmentally friendly.Cost-efficient series production
– The combination of automated coating and efficient powder recovery reduces operating costs and increases productivity.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about powder coating:
From durability to colour choice – we answer your questions! Find out why powder coating is the better alternative. With our NORDSON system for maximum efficiency and quality.
Which metals can be powder coated?
Powder coating is suitable for a wide range of metals, including steel, aluminium, stainless steel and galvanised surfaces.
Is powder coating weatherproof?
Yes, the coating protects against weathering, UV radiation and corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
Which colours and finishes are possible?
There is a wide choice of colours, gloss levels and textures – from high-gloss to matt, smooth or textured.
How long does a powder coating last?
Depending on the application and environment, a powder coating can last for several decades, especially if it has been applied correctly.
Is powder coating more environmentally friendly than wet painting?
Yes! As no solvents or toxic chemicals are used, fewer emissions are produced, and the excess powder can be recycled.
Why a NORDSON system for powder coating?
NORDSON stands for precision, efficiency and sustainability. The systems offer high material efficiency, precise control and reliable performance in series production.
