What is the difference between powder coating and wet paint, and which do I need?
Powder coating is applied electrostatically and oven-cured for a tough, even, solvent-free finish — well suited to more architectural and decorative applications. Wet (liquid) paint is the better choice for hazardous areas and functional, performance-critical environments, offering bespoke multi-layer systems and specialist chemistries — including intumescent (fire-proof) coatings — to meet standards such as NORSOK M-501. We offer both and will recommend the right system for your application.
