POWDER COATINGS; A CUSTOMER ANALYSIS

Metal fabricators use powder coatings on a wide variety of products. This includes aluminum extrusions made into products like window frames, ladders, picture frames, and mouldings; and wire fabrications made into products like refrigerator racks, display shelving, and fan guards. There is potential for rapidly growing use of powder in can making and possibly in coating metal coil. Over $100 million is spent annually on powder for these purposes.

Two tables and six graphics are included in this section. Discussions on market segments include aluminum extrusions, metal cans, wire products, and coil coatings. Information discussing powder suppliers and types of powder used by this segment are included. Over 4,500 metal fabricators are listed in this 123 page section.
