What is the purpose of powder coating? While it can make a metal piece more aesthetically pleasing, that is far from the only reason for this process. It also provides protection and does it in a way that’s far superior to painting.
Powder coating is a finishing process widely used for coating metal with a protective layer. Highly resistant to chipping, scratching and wearing, it enhances the longevity of the items.
Treated metals are resistant to corrosion. The coating provides a robust barrier against moisture or other conditions that may cause corrosion or rust. The process can also improve the aesthetics of a piece. It’s available in a variety of colors and finishes, making it an appropriate finishing touch to consumer products.
Powder coating is a toxic-free process that does not use harmful solvents or chemicals. The electromagnetic energy used to apply powder to parts means very little powder is wasted. This helps to conserve energy and materials.
We first prepare the surface to be coating. It’s important to remove oils, dirt and any other contaminants. Sandblasting or chemical cleaning may be performed. Next, we spray electrostatically charged powder particles onto the desired surface using a sprayer. Finally, we heat the coated items in an industrial oven. This melts the powder and provides a smooth, hard finish.
Our 300’ flow-through-wash paint line and batch booths allow us to paint any parts our customers may require. For our larger projects, we utilize our 30’ long, 12’ wide and 10’ tall booth.
