The appliance industry benefits from powder
coating on front and side panels of ranges and
refrigerators, washer tops and lids, dryer drums,
air-conditioner cabinets, water heaters, dishwasher
racks, and cavities of microwave ovens. Powder
coating has also replaced porcelain enamel on
many washer and dryer parts.

The automotive industry uses powder coating
on wheels, bumpers, hubcaps, door handles, decorative
trim and accent parts, truck beds, radiators,
filters, and numerous engine parts. A clean
powder topcoat has been developed to protect
auto bodies. BMW and Volvo are using it on their
new model cars, and GM, Ford, and Chrysler have
formed a consortium to test this technique on
their production lines.

The architectural and building market powder
coats aluminum extrusions used on frames for
windows and doors and modular furniture. Many
highway and building projects use powder coating
on light poles, guard rails, signs, posts, and
fencing.

While powder coating started as an alternative
to finishing metal products only, the development
of powder that can be cured at lower temperatures
has allowed powder coating to expand to non-metal
surfaces such as ceramics and some wood and
plastic applications. Powder coating on wood
is growing by leaps and bounds. Manufacturers
of home-office furniture, kitchen cabinets,
children's furniture, and outdoor grill tables
are discovering that powder coating makes these
"hard use" products retain their new look much
longer.

There are also innumerable everyday uses for
powder coated products such as lighting fixtures,
antennas, and electrical components. Farmers
have powder coated tractors and farm equipment.
Fitness buffs use golf clubs and golf carts,
ski poles and bindings, snowmobiles, bicycles,
and exercise equipment that are powder coated.
Shop owners have powder coated display racks,
shelves, store fixtures, and vending machines.
Office workers use metal furniture, computer
cabinets, mechanical pencils and pens, thumbtacks,
and other desk accessories that are powder coated.
Parents have powder coated baby strollers, cribs,
metal toys, and wagons. And home owners have
lawn mowers, snowblowers, barbecue grills, patio
furniture, garden tools, electronic components,
bathroom scales, tool boxes, and fire extinguishers
which benefit from a powder coated finish.
