There are four major reasons for considering powder coating over liquid paint:

1. To reduce VOC emissions,
2. To produce better coatings with improved corrosion protection,
3. To reduce production costs,
4. To improve Employee safety.

Solvent-based paint processes produce both air and water pollutants and water-bourn coatings produce hazardous waste. The air pollutants contribute to photochemical smog.

There are two ways to reduce pollution: by installing expensive equipment to treat the pollutants produced; or by eliminating the source of the pollutants. Obviously the second method is more economical. Equipment installed merely to prevent the discharge of pollutants to the environment represents an extra expense which contributes nothing to profitability. Production processes which minimize the production of pollutants at their source are a more positive solution and are less expensive in the long run.

Powder coating eliminates the air and water pollutants produced by solvent paint lines. As a bonus, working conditions are cleaner, healthier and safer.

Nevertheless, although everyone is more aware of emissions problems and anti-pollution laws and regulations are becoming tougher, there are two better reasons for powder coating. As we shall see, powder coatings are superior in quality to solvent-based paint coatings and their cost is competitive.
