Which powder coating is the most resistant to wind, rain, sun?

Powder coatings are extremely reliable protective materials that last for decades, are resistant to impacts, scratches and are not disolved by acids or alkalis. However, they withstand weather conditions in different ways, because ultraviolet and moisture breakdown molecular bonds in polymers. Sometimes people use coating that is not suitable for outdoor use, so it quickly peels off.

Epoxy paints

The polymer film is strong, but also has great elasticity and withstands damage well. However, UV rays severely damage its molecular bonds, so it will not last long, for example, on a basket for air conditioner. Epoxy components are never used for paints that used outside — they are well suited as a base under paints that are more resistant to atmospheric factors, because this is the best protection against corrosion.

Epoxy-polyester systems

Epoxy-polyester paint materials are different in composition: their characteristics are based on the ratio of polyester and epoxy resin. The most common of them are 50/50, 60/40, 70/30. When the polyester component predominates, the layer will be resistant to weather factors, the epoxy — to chemicals. The biggest problem is that the coating is sensitive to atmospheric pollution. Aggressive substances penetrate through micropores and destroy the painted layer. This type is suitable for structures and tools in rural areas, where the air is clean and such tests as small stones, bright sunlight, chemical fertilizers.

Polyester paint

It is best to cover decorative elements of the exterior of buildings, external structures and agricultural machinery with polyester paint. The burning sun, city smog, rain and hail are no obstacles for her. Forms a strong and reliable film with a small number of micropores, although it protects against rusting a little worse due to rapid peeling at the edges of the painted layer. However, the bright color and pleasant appearance of the product will last for decades.
