Art‑effect powder coating has rich decorative textures to hide workpiece defects with custom patterns. Its general performance is average and not fit for outdoor use.
General Introduction
By adjusting the types and dosage of resin curing agents, pigments, fillers and additives, art‑effect powder coatings such as semi‑gloss / matte wrinkle finishes and metallic sparkle finishes can be produced.
Wrinkle powder can be formulated to produce fine‑wrinkle surfaces similar to synthetic leather or coarse textures like kraft paper. It is widely used on cast‑sand and hot‑rolled steel parts to hide surface defects.
Hammer‑tone powder creates small leaf‑shaped patterns and is suitable for castings and spot‑welded components, not recommended for outdoor weather‑resistant coating.
Tortoise‑shell finish combines wrinkles, outward patterns and metallic sparkle within one single coating layer, and can also be applied to workpieces requiring wrinkle or outward‑texture finishes.
