Abstract
A process of forming coatings on substrates by applying a layer of curable materials in dry powder form and then melting and curing the material is improved by compressing the layer using a flexible confining membrane. Less material is required to provide equivalent barrier protection and surface finish. The process is particularly applicable to applying dry powder coatings on temperature sensitive substrates, such as medium density fiberboard, in press apparatus, such as a membrane press, which have not commercially used dry powder coating materials previously.
