ADVANCEMENTS IN POWDER IN-MOLD COATING TECHNOLOGY ARE CONTINUING. POWDER IN-MOLD COATINGS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REPLACED GEL COATS AS PRIMERS TO VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE SUBSTRATE POROSITY. THEY ARE BEING USED IN SANITARY WARE APPLICATIONS WHERE HIGH GLOSS AND DURABILITY ARE REQUIRED. MOST RECENTLY, HIGH-HARDNESS MEDIUM-GLOSS COATINGS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR USE ON KITCHEN SINKS. THESE NEW COATINGS EXHIBIT EXCELLENT SCRATCH AND HEAT RESISTANCE. UNIQUE MULTIPLE-COAT FINISHES ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE INCORPORATION OF ROBOTIC SPRAY APPLICATION EQUIPMENT.
