Powder Coatings for the Energy Sector
In the rapidly evolving energy industry — from solar-PV arrays and wind turbines to battery storage systems, data centers, and EV charging stations — components must endure extreme conditions, deliver high reliability, and maintain performance over many years. When corrosion, UV damage, electrical demands and process inefficiencies threaten uptime and cost-effectiveness, TIGER Drylac® steps in with a comprehensive powder-coating solution tailored to energy-sector applications.
We support manufacturers who are working on systems built from aluminium, steel or composite housing materials (such as wall-boxes for charging) and require high-quality finishes that protect, insulate, conduct or simply outlast other coatings.
Why TIGER Drylac® is the Right Partner for The Energy Sector
-
Meeting real industry demands: On solar or wind installations, housings, supports and equipment are exposed to harsh UV, salt, wind, lift-loads and electrical stress. Our coatings are designed to work in those environments while supporting your productivity and cost goals.
-
Solving process-and-efficiency challenges: In coating operations for high-volume energy-equipment, lowered curing temperatures, one-coat systems, high transfer efficiencies and compatibility across substrates matter. TIGER works to reduce cure energy, simplify application and boost first-pass yields.
-
Staying ahead on sustainability and lifecycle value: As energy-sector equipment shifts toward circularity, lower carbon footprint and long service life become competitive advantages. Our solvent-free powders, low-cure options and high durability build value over time
Our Key Value-Drivers
Here’s how each of the value-drivers you care about translates into benefits for the energy-sector application — and where you’ll see them in real use:
A. ESD & Conductivity
For modules, switch-gear or electronics housings, controlling static discharge is critical. TIGER Drylac® offers electrostatic-dissipative coatings (ESD), ideal around sensitive components.
Static Dissipative materials exhibit resistance between 1 X 106 and 1 X 109 ohms. The charges flow through the material slowly and more controlled manner than with conductive materials. Dissipative materials are classified “Antistatic” and are ideal for use around computer components to eliminate shock.
Black Conductive (09/81760) is offered as a stock product. If you do not see a specialty coating here, please reach out to inquire about our unsurpassed ability to formulate custom coatings to your specifications.
B. Insulation & Dielectric Performance
In energy systems you may need coatings that enhance dielectric strength or provide electrical isolation. Since we coat on steel, aluminium or composites, our formulations support substrate compatibility and insulation needs.
C. High Film Build (Busbar / Heavy Structure)
When busbars, structural supports or large metal frames require thicker, robust coatings to protect against corrosion, impact and mechanical wear, our powders deliver strong film build and durable finish.
We are currently in the process of developing a brand new collection of finishes specifically designed for busbar appplications. Watch this space!
D. UV and Corrosion Resistance (Weatherability)
Outdoor wind-turbine towers, inverter housings or charging station cabinets face UV, salt spray, humidity and temperature cycling. TIGER’s Super and Hyper-Durable powders resist fading, chalking and rust even in harsh environments.

E. Fire Retardant
Safety is non-negotiable in energy installations. Our high-performance powder-coatings can be formulated for fire-resistance and compliance with applicable standards making them ideal for the energy sector.
F. Ease of Application & Process Efficiency
For coaters serving energy-sector OEMs, streamlining application means less downtime and better throughput. TIGER powders are designed to offer high transfer efficiency (less waste), fast cure options and one-coat systems to simplify production.
Our FlexCURE line is the perfect solution for this. FlexCURE technology delivers advanced curing flexibility without compromising performance or appearance. FlexCURE is available in Series 138, 139, and 149 — engineered for a wide range of metal applications. FlexCURE enables an extended curing window from 170 to 200 °C, allowing for either lower-temperature curing or increased line speeds, depending on your production needs.
F. Compatibility Across Substrates
Whether you’re finishing aluminium extrusions for PV frames, steel enclosures for batteries or glass-fibre-reinforced composite wall-boxes for EV chargers, TIGER coatings offer the substrate flexibility you need.
G. Sustainability
Our coatings align with your environmental targets: solvent-free powder technology, low-cure systems that reduce energy consumption and strong durability that extends service life and reduces maintenance.
H. Aesthetics & Customization Possibilities
Even if performance is primary, visible equipment in the energy sector (e.g., charging stations, kiosks, façade-mounted supports) often needs to reflect your brand and design choices. With over 800 stock colours and effect options, we make it easy to match appearance with performance. If you don't find what you are looking for from our existing portfolio, we're more than happy to develop custom colors and finishes specifically for your needs.
