THERMAL SPRAY COATING ON LARGE COMPONENTS AND COMPOSITE SUBSTRATES USING RECENTLY DEVELOPED THERMOPOLASTIC AND THERMOSET POWDER IS AVAILABLE. THIS SMALL, BUT GROWING, TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 1980'S, BUT IT IS NOW GAINING MOMENTUM. IMPROVEMENTS IN EQUIPMENT ABLE TO HEAT, MELT, AND DISCHARGE POLYMER POWDER MATERIALS (SOME WITH FILLERS SUCH AS POWDERED METAL AND CERAMICS) ALLOW OPERATORS TO COAT METAL, WOOD, PLASTICS, COMPOSITES, GLASS, AND EVEN PAPER WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE COATINGS.
