We all know that thermoset is the most common powder coating considered to be thin but hard. Conversely, thermoplastic always goes unrecognized as it is expensive and difficulty to apply before. And this article will give you some suggestions that you should reevaluate thermoplastic with technical improvements and cost reduction nowadays.
But why do we pay much attention to thermoplastic powder coatings? The answer is "performance". Thermoplastic powder coatings have incomparable performance that traditional thermoset cannot reach. But we are not saying the thermoset powder coating should go out the competition and be replaced by thermoplastic powders. They have different features to suit different applications.
