Powder Coating vs. Baked Enamel
Q. For toilet partitions, is baked enamel equal to powder coating for serviceability,
durability, etc. A. In my opinion baked enamels perform similarly to powder coatings for toilet
partitions. The selection of the resin system is important and of-course surface
preparation is critical to both applications. I have seen powder coating systems
fail catastrophically when the application was poor and the vendor had been
lax with regard to surface prep and oven curing. However, if you go to a reliable
powder coating contractor you should expect outstanding long term performance
and serviceability.
Best wishes,
