You hear everyday about pollution and its effect on the environment. A lot of that pollution comes from harmful solvents, and thinners used in the wet paint process. Some of these automotive paints are actually toxic. Metal plating such as nickel and chrome use heavy metals that are extremely toxic to the environment. If these solutions leach into the soil or find their way into the water table, the toxic effects can last for decades. Powder coating is an environmentally friendly alternative to the toxic wet paints and electro plating.
Powdercoating is an environmentally friendly process unlike solvent-based wet paint systems. With EPA regulations growing even stricter, powder coating is fast becoming the technology of choice. Since the powder coating process does not use solvents, VOC emission problems are eliminated.
Powder coating is just that, powder. It is non toxic, can be used on food service equipment and, in its powder form, is no more harmful than dust. When it is cured it becomes a tough weather resistant coating for motorcycle frames, car chassis, wheels, outdoor furniture and electrical cabinets. Powder coating helps make your living environment more livable by offering a host of custom colors for wrought iron, hand rails and other indoor and outdoor fixtures.
Empire is aware of the environmental issues concerning the prep work required for any good coating job. That's why we've committed resources for recycling the washing and blasting components we use to assure you of an excellent job. The Cyclonator® we use is a closed loop system that recycles the wash water which means it has zero discharge process by using a simple filtration process and has a built in oil-water separator. It provides a cost effective means of cleaning while preventing ground water containment.
