Glass Coating Powder coatings are resistant to most acids alkalis and oils at normal temperatures.

This not only provides outstanding performance in the field but also reduces rework in assembly due to the toughness and scratch resistance of the coating.

Powder coating for military use are covered by Def Stan 80-122/2.
