The physical and electrical properties of the deposited coating are rated good to excellent, and there are no known solvents for the deposited coating. Coating irregularly shaped items Powdered resins of teflon, epoxy, polyester, or polyethylene are fluidized with air, charged, and delivered to a delivery head. The attraction of the charged particles to the grounded workpiece draws powder to all sides of the workpiece. Adhesive bonding requires another material to join substrates together. This added material becomes a permanent part of the assembled piece.
Adhesives are available in a variety of forms.
