Health

Powder coating is making every day of people's lives more comfortable and healthier. Health problems when handling or using a powder coating may arise through exposure to hazardous substances, which may be contained in the coatings, or to the powder coating itself. Powder Coatings are classified and labelled in accordance with the EU Dangerous Preparations Directive. Powder Coating manufacturers provide safety data sheets in a standardised form based on the requirements of this Directive. Due account should be taken of information given in the safety data sheet when carrying out the assessments.

Due account should be taken of information given in the safety data sheet when carrying out the assessments. Safety It is clear that there is a lower level of hazard when using powder coatings compared to conventional solvent-based paints. Dust clouds in air require 50-100 times the energy necessary to ignite a solvent vapour/air mixture, and are therefore inherently more difficult to ignite. Also powder mixtures in air need to be above a certain concentration, known as the lower explosion limit (LEL) before ignition or explosion can occur. However, certain hazards do exist when using powders depending on various factors. Precautions must be taken to avoid them, and these are referred to here as safe working procedures. If these are followed, any risk should be reduced to a minimum. The main hazards involved in the electrostatic application of powder coatings are: - Dust explosion and fire - Electrical shock - Exposure to hazardous substances - Compressed air For detailed information please read "Safe Powder Coating Guideline" written by CEPE.

Environment

Powder coatings are renowned for being environmentally responsible. They are 100% solid - this is the paint with no solvents, no fumes, and no dangerous gases, and there are no harmful volatile organic solvents that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. Powder coatings have many advantages over alternative finishes. They can be sprayed with much higher efficiency than wet paints, because over-sprayed powder can be collected and re-applied. Which means, as much as 99% of the original product can be used, with minimal waste sent for landfill. Element powder coating products lead the industry in the development of powder coat systems that have minimal impact on the environment. Element powder coat products:

- Are free of heavy metal pigments such as lead, cadmium, arsenic&mercury.
- Can be stoved and cured at low temperatures and faster times than industry standard offers.
- Are produced with stringent Safety, Health & Environmental policies and standards.
- Are produced and used with minimal waste.

Quality

Our Quality assurance (QA) system refers to the planned and systematic activities implemented in a quality system so that quality requirements for a product or service will be fulfilled. It is the systematic measurement, comparison with a standard, monitoring of processes and an associated feedback loop that confers error prevention. This can be contrasted with quality control, which is focused on process outputs. Element gained accreditation of ISO 9001:2000 in 2008 by All employees are involved in achieving our Quality Assurance program which meet all aspects of the customer satisfaction.
