How to understand paint and coating powders at each step of their life-cycle

Paints and coatings have considerable requirements simply by all the different applications and situations they are used for and the different materials they are made of. To cover and understand the whole life-cycle of paints and coatings means to be able to measure and analyze the right properties at any step – from the incoming raw materials, across all intermediary steps like mixing, to the final and finished product. But the life-cycle doesn’t stop with the finished paint or coating – transportation, long-term storage and the applicability are crucial, as well as durability and scratch resistance of the applied materials. No matter whether in development or production, there are many parameters that influence the manufacturing and application process which should be addressed, such as particle size, zeta-potential, powder rheology, surface area and true density. 
Key Takeaways: 
• Know the crucial powder parameters 
• Why these parameters are important for stability and processability 
• Simplicity of obtaining these parameters
