I have been powder coating at home and was curious if it was toxic to breath and toxic to prolonged exposure to skin. I do wear the masks most of the time, but when cleaning and switching powders (or just plain in the process of powder coating), I constantly get the powder on my skin and on my hands. Is this bad, really bad, or not too bad? Same for the vapors from the oven when I open it.Is powder coating Toxic?
It depends on whether the enamel is polymer-based or not. Different risks are associate with different powder-coating materials. Polymer toxins vs heavy metal poisoning. I would wear a respirator and not breathe the fumes. Ventilate!
