Wrong answer from the person above me.


The powder coat does not have the problems of flaking as the coating is applied in thin layers.





Yes it most certaintly can be powder coated.


I have given you sites and links on explanations and information relating to this question. You can find them below.


Powder coating can also be applied to glass, ceramics, temperature resistant plastics and even wood.





It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as ';white goods';, aluminium extrusions, and automobile and motorcycle parts. Newer technologies allow other materials, such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods.


In ceramics, the refractory industry as well as the brick and building material industry glass powder is applied as sintering additive (study), filler material or optical component.

Glass bead media does not provide the best anchor tooth' for best powder coating.





Fluorescent/Pearl-like.Powder coated finishes can now offer an icy or fluorescent appearance or the lustrous look of a pearl that may appear to change color depending on the angle of observation. Some glass products benefit from this look.


Dye Sublimation. The process of transferring three-dimensional images onto parts and products, known as dye sublimation, has been successfully applied to powder coated products. Now high-resolution images, designs, and wood-grain looks can be transferred to a variety of powder coated products made of steel, aluminum, glass, and medium density fiberboard. Some products benefiting from this vibrant new look.

No, I don't think so. Powder coating holds the powder in place with a static charge on metal and glass won't do the charge uniformly which is the great feature of powder coating.


The powder coat may be so heavy that you will have flaking problems with the low COE of boro compared to the higher of metals.
Yea, i think i heard something about that, i think you have to put the powder on when the glass is still warm otherwise the powder won't stick. dont know much else. go to www.glass.com for more info.
Yes it can be, but why powder coat? There are many other options for getting colors into glass, some more vivid and less costly, some less vivid more costly? Do a simple search for the following: ';Glass Laser jet printing';, ';glass opaci-coat';, ';glass ceramic frit';, ';glass silk screening';.
