Solution

Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as household appliances, aluminium extrusions, drum hardware, automobiles, and bicycle frames. There are three main categories of powder coatings: thermosets, thermoplastics, and UV curable powder coatings. The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based formulas is Teflon by Chemours,a spin-off from DuPont, which originally discovered the compound in 1938.Teflon doesn’t bond with paint at the molecular level but instead acts as a protective layer over the paint.
