粉末涂料是一种固体粉末状涂料。粉末涂料和传统液体涂料的主要区别在于粉末涂料不要求使用溶剂。该涂料典型地通过静电应用，接着加热而固化并使其流动。粉末可以是热缩性或热固性聚合物。它通常被用于创造比传统涂料更坚硬的涂层。粉末涂料主要用于涂装金属。新技术可使它用于涂装其它材料，例如中等密度纤维板。

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. 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 household appliances, aluminum extrusions, drum hardware, and automobile and bicycle parts. Newer technologies allow other materials, such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods.
