Electric utility shows coaters how to cut energy bills with low-temp powder
Southern Company's Alabama Power hosts a hands-on seminar at its Technology Applications Center in Calera, Ala., on how to conserve energy and slash energy bills with lowtemperaturecure powder coatings.
If you wanted to know how to save money on your energy bill - that ever-rising expense for us all - the discussion on how low powder coatings can go when it comes to cure temperature certainly would have grabbed your attention. The group of about 40 attendees gathered recently in Alabama Power's Technology Applications Center in Calera, Ala., got a good lesson in powder power and research and development work in bringing cure temperatures down not only to save energy, but also to bring heatsensitive substrates, such as plastic and wood, into the powder fold.
