粉末涂料是一种含有100% 固体分、以粉末形态、利用静电吸附涂装的涂料，主要由树脂、固化剂、颜料、填料和助剂等组成，它与一般溶剂型涂料和水性涂料不同，不是使用溶剂或水作为分散介质，而是借助于空气作为分散介质。因此，粉末涂料有机溶剂（VOC）等于零，既节省了大量资源，又避免了有机溶剂光化学反应和毒性所造成的大气污染，也避免了废水处理等问题，是符合环境保护要求的理想的涂料品种。
按粉末涂料成膜物质的固化机理或固化方式分类，有热塑型、热固型、辐射固化、辐-热双重固化。
按照粉末涂料的用途分类，主要有装饰性涂料和功能性涂料。装饰性粉末涂料可形成平面、木纹、砂纹、皱纹、皮纹、金属闪烁、渐变色、多色花、透明等各种不同纹理和特殊效果，其中平面型涂料可以有标准、无光、消光、平光、高光等不同光泽度效果；功能性粉末涂料主要有聚酯、富锌、耐候、超耐候、氟碳（PVDF）、防菌型、自清洁、隔热、耐高温、防静电和阻燃等各种不同功能效果。
Powder coating is a kind of coating with 100% solid content, powder form and electrostatic adsorption. It is mainly composed of resin, curing agent, pigment, filler and auxiliary agent. It is different from general solvent coating and water-based coating. It does not use solvent or water as dispersion medium, but uses air as dispersion medium. Therefore, VOC of powder coating is equal to zero, which not only saves a lot of resources, but also avoids the air pollution caused by photochemical reaction and toxicity of organic solvent, and also avoids the problems of wastewater treatment. It is an ideal coating variety in line with the requirements of environmental protection.
According to the curing mechanism or curing mode of film-forming materials of powder coatings, there are thermoplastics, thermosetting, radiation curing and radiation heat dual curing.
According to the classification of powder coatings, there are mainly decorative coatings and functional coatings. Decorative powder coating can form various textures and special effects such as plane, wood grain, sand grain, wrinkle, skin grain, metal flicker, gradual change, multi-color flower, transparency, etc., among which plane coating can have different glossiness effects such as standard, matte, extinction, flat light, high light, etc.; functional powder coating mainly includes polyester, zinc rich, weatherproof, super weatherproof, fluorocarbon (PVDF), anti-corrosion Different functional effects such as bacteria type, self-cleaning, heat insulation, high temperature resistance, anti-static and flame retardant.
