Powder coatings must be free-flowing, easily fluidizable, and capable of accepting and maintaining a good electrostatic charge during application. Proper storage is pivotal for powder coatings as it prevents particle agglomeration and reaction advancement, and ensures satisfactory application.

Factors affecting powder coatings storage

The key factors affecting powder coatings storage can be identified as:

• Temperature
• Moisture/Humidity
• Contamination
• Direct sunlight

The recommended optimum conditions for powder storage are:

• Temperature < 25°C
• Relative humidity 50 - 65%
• Away from direct sunlight
