Hybrid Powder (Polyester-Epoxy)

These hybrid powder coatings represent a compromise between the performance of epoxies and polyesters. They are formed by blending these two polymer types in different ratios depending on the end-use requirements. Hybrid powder performance can be summarized as follows:

Enhanced overbake resistance vs. epoxy
Good Faraday Cage penetration (easier to penetrate recesses found in the part to be coated)
Full range of gloss (10-95+)
Ultra smooth, thin films (0.8-1.2 mils)
Economical

Disadvantages for these hybrid powders are as follows:

Poor outdoor weatherability
