Coating is one of the most important processes of ACP manufacturing. Among all choices, PVDF and powder coating are top 2 priorities. Different choices will definitely lead to different functions and costs. This article will focus on these different functions and costs for your reference.

What is EPoxy Powder coating?

Epoxy is the most commonly used material in powder coating due to it’s considerable durbility and excellent hardness. It is considered among the best in terms of corrosion and chemical resistance of the many available powders utilized for industrial purposes.

Epoxy powder coating is a thermoset polymer coating which offers chemical resistance, flexibility, and high adhesion. This unique combination of thermal, physical, chemical, and mechanical properties makes Epoxy ideal for functional coating of variety of applications.

What is PVDF coating?

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) coating is a factory-applied, resin-based coating system, typically with embedded color pigment particles that support wide ranges of matte-finish colors.

Since the applications of PVDF and Epoxy powder coating are generally the same,  their functions and price would be the very point that buyers need to know.

Difference in functions:

Both Polyester/Epoxy Powder coating and PVDF coating wear functions like:

1. Weather resistance

2. Excellent corrosion resistance and adhesion strength

3. Rich color to choose from

Compare to Powder coating, PVDF coating would be:

1. More environmentally friendly than dip coatings, which contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

2. Maintains a high color consistency (resists fading)

3. High resistance to chemicals and pollution

4. Long-lasting with minimal maintenance

Difference in price:

For the same brand, the price of powder is generally 10 dollars cheaper than PVDF.

Should aluminum panels all be coated by PVDF?

This may depend on exact needs. If you want more durable,

It may depend on your exact applications but if you want highly durable, environmentally resistant, and long-lasting extruded or rolled aluminum products, like aluminum claddings, PVDF might be for suitable.

However, if you would like to find one lower-cost interior coating with wider range of clolors, powder coating might be more suitable.
