New low VOC liquid coatings, in combination with powder coatings in uniform colors, provides a complete environmental solution. Diamond Vogel Paints' next generation powder manufacturing equipment including premixing and grinding equipment represents the first of its kind in the United States. This equipment offers great efficiency and production control. The tight production control is verified using a computer aided laser defraction device that measures powder particle size and particle distribution. Tightly controlled particle size distribution centered on a smaller average particle size has proven to produce excellent first pass transfer efficiency and electrostatic wrap for the powder coatings end user.
Colors range from clears, whites or off-whites, and blacks to virtually any shade or deep color hue.
Powder coatings can also be distorted, textured or wrinkled for special effects. Diamond Vogel Paints is currently offering Epoxy, Epoxy-Polyester Hybrids, TGIC Polyesters and Urethane Polyesters as base chemistries. Grouped within each base chemistry are long-term performance qualities that can vary greatly. Economics is usually a deciding factor in choosing the coating in conjunction with the end user's performance objective. A number of powder coating chemistries are available in lower curing temperatures that is advantageous on larger parts or sub-assemblies.
