Default Re: tribo & corona charging?? please help

Electrostatic Spray (Corona) Method - the induction of powder particles exposed to an electrostatic field generated by a high voltage device.

Triboelectric Spray Method - powder particles receive an electric charge through the use of frictional contact with a nonconductive material.

It's my understanding that it's easier to spray metallic powders using the Tribo method. I've never used Tribo, so I really can't help you much.
One thing I do know is that if you are using the Tribo Method you must specify Tribo powder when ordering.
Using the Corona Method it doesn't matter. You can spray Tribo powder using the Corona method.
