Powder Coating is highly protective of our environment. Liquid finishes contain solvents which have pollutants known as volatile organic compounds (VOC's), powder coating contains no VOC's and releases negligible amounts, if any, into the atmosphere. This is not only an obvious benefit to the environment but means that there is no longer a need for finishing companies to invest in costly pollution control equipment. Additionally most powder coating overspray can be retrieved and reused, virtually eliminating the waste problem found in liquid finishing processes. The elimination of investment in pollution control means at Advanced Finishing Technologies we can concentrate our continual investment on the research and development of new processes which will ensure the best services to both our clients and the environment.
