Why do we use special effects powder coating

Before we get this train moving, we should probably define what exactly a special effect coating is. The list is pretty long, as essentially everything that is not a solid color can fit into this category. The definition of a special effect can also differ between powder manufacturers and job shops. Some of you may consider low glosses and matte finishes as special effects; others may not. Most companies will say that metallics fall under the special effects class – however, we have a whole guide dedicated to metallics and will not be focusing on them in this guide.

We will cover why we use special effects, what their chemistry is, how to use them, how they can go wrong, and we'll give you some top tips for how to use these particular coatings best. Specifically, we will cover wrinkles, translucents, dormants, river veins, multi-components and fine textures.

Most of the time, what it comes down to is what your customer wants aesthetically. Perhaps they need a rusty looking finish, or a rough texture, or an extra something to make the part stand out from the crowd. It is usually driven by the customer needing a specific aesthetic, or designers aiming for particular looks. However, the need for a special effect could also come from the need to hide a substrate surface that doesn’t look good. This is the main functional reason for using them.
