Why EV Charging 
Stations Need Protection
Unlike indoor equipment, charging stations endure punishing 
conditions daily:

Modern powder coating technologies allow for intricate patterning and branding through digital masking techniques, enabling 
customisation without compromising durability.
Sustainability and 
Regulatory Trends
Environmental Innovation
Latest coating formulations feature low-VOC and plant-based 
components, reducing carbon footprint. Bio-based powder coatings 
derived from renewable sources are gaining market share.
Regulatory 
RNeewq EuU isrtaenmdaredsn stpsecify minimum weatherproofing requirements for 
public charging infrastructure. Stations must demonstrate corrosion 
resistance conforming to EN ISO 12944-6 C4 classification.
Certification 
PIndruostgryr caemrtifimcaetiosn programmes are emerging that rate charging 
equipment durability. Top-tier certification requires advanced coatings 
meeting specific performance benchmarks.
The convergence of environmental concerns and durability requirements is driving 
innovation in coating technologies. Manufacturers now highlight both performance 
metrics and sustainability credentials when marketing their protective solutions.
