Abstract: Polyamides were one of the earliest powder coatings invented for metal protection and soon established recognition for their physical toughness, visual attractiveness and compatibility with potable water and foodstuffs. The available polyamides today can be derivatives from both crude oil and castor oil refining processes. A short review of established applications and recent developments in both coatings and non-coatings uses is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
