Go Green With Powder Coating

admin • August 1, 2018

The state and quality of the air we breathe is a huge concern for everyone, and especially so if you live in a state like Utah where the air pollution is incredibly bad. There are many initiatives to improve the quality of the air we breathe, since this is the only planet we get to live on. People are driving less, switching to electric cars instead, and planting more trees. All of these things are great, and we wanted to share with you how Full Blown Coatings is contributing to going green with the rest of you.

US Clean Air Act

In 1970, the US Clean Air Act was signed into law. As a nation, there have been initiatives to be more sustainable and allow less pollutants into the air. But there is always more that we can be doing to improve the quality of our air and the state we live in.

Say no to hazardous air pollutants

When you choose to use powder coating, you’re furthering this green initiative. Powder coating uses no solvents, and it eliminates Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which results in cleaner air. The powder coating process is now recognized universally as the best available technology for reduce air pollution.

Why powder coating is better than paint

When you apply a coat of paint onto the surface of your walls, it will continue to release chemicals into the environment as invisible paint pollution. When these VOCs react with oxygen, they can turn into “bad” ozone when in the presence of sunlight. This contributes to the greenhouse effect, which is what we’re all attempting to avoid. This doesn’t just include paint meant to be used within the interior of your home. These VOCs are included in any type of paint you may be using, whether it’s for the exterior of your home, your car, or just acrylic paints. Even the paint that is used on the bottom of boats to deter mussels and other organisms from sticking has been labeled one of the most toxic things to happen to marine life.

Powder Coating is the best option for the environment

We’ve seen over the course of history that powder coating is the most eco friendly option. Whether you’re looking to add a fresh look to your trailer, or you’re redoing your kitchen, powder coating is the way to go.

Powder Coating for the Medical Field (AS9001)

By Admin • February 3, 2026

TL;DR — Powder Coating for the Medical Field (AS9001) Medical-grade powder coating prioritizes cleanability, chemical resistance, durability, and documented quality suitable for hospitals and device makers. Buyers often expect AS9001-style rigor with ISO-style documentation, including travelers, lot traceability, cure logs, inspections, and retained panels. Proper prep drives longevity: degreasing, targeted media blasting, conversion coating, and outgassing for castings, plus precise masking of functional interfaces. Cure must be verified at part temperature with time-at-temp logs, calibrated film-build checks, and controlled color and gloss against masters. Validation uses adhesion, impact, bend, chemical rubs with alcohols and quats, corrosion testing when needed, and cleanability trials that mirror real SOPs. Common applications include carts, IV stands, rails, cabinets, monitor arms, housings, and bed components, with neutral, low-glare textures for easy wipe downs. Cost reflects geometry, masking, pretreatment, custom colors or antimicrobials, documentation level, and batching strategy. Use a Utah finisher that shows sample travelers, retained panels, and oven mapping, and can scale from prototype to production while maintaining consistency. Service coverage spans Salt Lake County, Utah County, Davis County, Weber County, and Cache County with pickup and delivery by arrangement. Need help setting specs or validation?

Why powder coating for aerospace under ISO/AS9100 matters

By Admin • January 27, 2026

TL;DR — Powder Coating for Aerospace (ISO/AS9100) Powder coating provides durable, lightweight, low-VOC protection for aerospace interiors, avionics housings, and ground-support equipment. ISO/AS9100 adds aviation-grade controls: documented travelers, first article inspection, calibrated gauges, cure logs, and full traceability. Performance depends on disciplined prep: precision cleaning, media blasting, conversion coating, outgassing, masking, and purpose-built racking with solid grounding. Cure is validated with thermocouples on representative mass to hit time-at-temperature. Film build is held within spec and Faraday areas are engineered up front. Release testing covers thickness, adhesion, impact, bend, gloss, color delta, humidity or salt fog, and specified chemical rubs. Use powder for consistent appearance and abrasion resistance in cabins and on the ramp. Choose alternatives like anodize, conversion coat, ceramic, or vacuum coating when ultra-thin or high-temp films are required. Cost drivers: part size and complexity, masking, pretreatment stack, finish tier, special tests, and documentation packages. Buyer checklist: drawings with mask and film-build zones, color and gloss targets, required tests, documentation needs, sample panels or pilot build, and packaging specs.
