Every detail of our
powder coating world, on one page.
From our company profile to our product series, from application areas to production and quality processes, from surface preparation to technical reference tables — the updated digital version of the Element Boya catalog.
From Tuzla to the world,
a reliable powder coating partner.
Element Electrostatic Powder Coatings is an integrated powder coating manufacturer producing polyester, epoxy, hybrid and polyurethane resin families under one roof at its facility in Aydınlı-Birlik OSB, Tuzla / Istanbul. With over 20 years of production experience, we manage the entire process — from raw material supply to formulation, from production to quality control — at our own facility with our own procedures.
Our in-house R&D team works on an extensive formulation archive managing thousands of recipes; samples are retained for two years for every production lot, turning field feedback into traceable, repeatable formulas. Our ISO 9001 quality management system and ASTM-compliant test laboratory ensure consistent performance for every batch.
Today we supply 700+ customers across 18 countries without interruption, with an annual production capacity of over 6,000 tons — as a name for technical reliability in Europe, the Caucasus, the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.
Solvent-free, efficient and
durable coating technology.
Powder coating is a coating method in which a dry mixture of resin, pigment and additives is electrostatically charged and applied to a surface, then cured in an oven. There are no VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, material efficiency is approximately 100%, and a single coat produces a harder, more durable film than liquid paint.
Solvent-free
No VOC emissions during application or curing.
Approximately 100% efficiency
Overspray powder is recovered in the booth and reused.
High mechanical strength
Superior resistance to impact, scratching and abrasion.
Excellent single-coat results
Usually reaches target thickness without an additional coat.
A resin family for every need.
The Element Boya portfolio offers a wide range of resins — from outdoor durability to chemical resistance, from decorative effects to eco-friendly formulations. The series below, with their product codes, are continuously developed by our R&D team.
Polyester Series
With TGIC and TGIC-free (HAA) alternatives, high UV and weather resistance for outdoor applications such as facade profiles and garden furniture.
Pure Epoxy Series
High mechanical strength, hardness and chemical resistance — for industrial equipment, electrical panels and indoor applications.
Epoxy-Polyester (Hybrid) Series
Combines the mechanical strength of epoxy with the flow and appearance advantages of polyester — a balanced solution for a wide range of uses.
Polyurethane Series
Smooth, high-gloss and filled surfaces — for automotive accessories and applications requiring a special appearance.
ECO Series — Lead-free and TGIC-free formulations
Developed as part of our environmentally friendly production goal, the ECO series consists of lead-free and TGIC-free polyester formulations. Product codes ELM PLA30, ELM PLA33, ELM PLA35, ELM PLI36 and ELM PLI38 deliver the same durability and appearance performance with an eco-friendly formulation.

The right pretreatment
means a lasting result.
The adhesion quality and corrosion resistance of powder coating largely depend on surface preparation before application. Depending on the material type and environment, one or more of the following pretreatment methods are applied.
| Surface Preparation Method | Steel | Galvanized / Zinc-Coated | Aluminum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleaning / Degreasing | |||
| Sandblasting (SA 2½) | |||
| Iron Phosphate | |||
| Zinc Phosphate | |||
| Hot-Dip Galvanizing | |||
| Chrome-Free Pretreatment (Aluminum) |
Curing (Baking) Reference Table
The values below show typical metal temperature and baking time ranges by resin family. The exact cure schedule is specified per product code in the technical data sheet (TDS).
| Resin Family | Metal Temperature | Baking Time |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester (PLA) | 180–200 °C | 10–15 min |
| Polyester HAA | 180–200 °C | 10–15 min |
| Pure Epoxy (EPX) | 160–200 °C | 10–20 min |
| Epoxy-Polyester (HYB) | 160–200 °C | 10–15 min |
| Polyurethane (PUR) | 180–200 °C | 15–20 min |
From recipe to part,
a traceable process.
Our production process takes the formula approved by R&D through weighing, mixing, extrusion, cooling, grinding, sieving and packaging to become the final product. Every step is recorded on a per-lot basis.
Quality control steps
- 1All raw materials pass laboratory acceptance tests before entering production.
- 2A sample is taken from each lot during production to check color, gloss and particle size.
- 3The finished product is approved through application tests (panel coating, curing, visual inspection).
- 4A reference sample is retained for two years per lot to ensure traceability.
Test standards (ASTM)
Our products are evaluated according to internationally recognized ASTM test standards. Main test categories:
From electrostatic application
to performance in the field.
Application process
Powder is charged as it passes through the electrostatic gun and adheres evenly to the grounded part. The part is then cured in an oven to form a permanent, durable film. This process delivers long-lasting surfaces with minimal color and gloss loss even in demanding outdoor applications, such as roadside digital signage cabinets.
R&D
Our R&D department is responsible for developing new formulations, improving existing ones, and meeting customer-specific color and effect requests. At Element, our R&D team is a key part of our identity — through their work, they aim to set direction for the industry. Our projects, focused on new technology and sustainability, ensure we adapt to changing market conditions in line with customer needs.

consistent performance.
Storage conditions
- The ideal storage environment is below 30°C, dry and protected from direct sunlight.
- Products should be stacked in their original packaging on pallets, without leaning against each other.
- Regular stock rotation (FIFO) is recommended for long-term storage.
- Products stored at low temperatures should be brought to room temperature before application.
Health, Safety & Environment
Powder coating applications carry a lower risk level compared to VOC and solvent-based paints; however, the following basic precautions should be taken when working with powder particles.
- Dust masks and gloves should be used when working with powder particles, especially during loading/unloading.
- Application and curing areas should have proper ventilation and dust-collection filters.
- Grounding of electrostatic booths and equipment should be checked regularly.
- Safety data sheets (SDS) are provided for each product upon request.
