Investigating some factors affecting first pass transfer efficiency
Many industrial coating applicators have turned to powder coating as their finishing method because it can eliminate or reduce the amount of volatile organic compounds and other hazardous wastes created by liquid paints and other solvent-containing coatings.
Many applicators also know that powder coating can be a very economical procedure when those applying the powder achieve high first pass transfer efficiency [FPTE]. The purpose of this article is to explain FPTE and its role in attaining higher productivity overall within the entire powder coating system.
