Reduce VOCs by Switching to Powder Coating

An article posted on GreenBiz.com states:

Another option to reduce VOCs is to switch from liquid to powder coatings, which are VOC- and HAP-free. Because they don’t emit vapors (or strong smells), powder coating shops don’t require as much ventilation, which can lower cold-climate heating costs. In addition, parts that are powder coated see fewer surface defects, need less rework and tend to be more durable.

Economic Report: December 7, 2015

The overall November jobs numbers were widely interpreted as a positive for the U.S. economy—a sign that the labor market in general is moving in the right direction. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 211,000 workers in November, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.0 percent. One of the larger exceptions to that is manufacturing, which continues to struggle. The sector lost 1,000 employees in November, with zero growth on net since January. Manufacturers remain mired by global headwinds and lower commodity prices.

Powder matured as a technology in the 1990s and celebrated its 50th birthday a few years ago.
