Coating powders, and liquid resins for casting potting and encapsulation are a category of coating materials designed to encapsulate the part. The purpose of the coating or encapsulation can be decorative, in the case of different colors, but it can also be functional in that it also provides electrical insulation or mechanical protection. Powders, varnishes, and paints are all encapsulation methods that speak more about the application method than the chemistry type.
Coating powders can be broadly defined into two broad chemistry types: thermoplastics and thermoset plastics. Each type has its pros and cons and can be further subdivided into different chemistry types and then finally defined by the end-application and desired final properties.
