Powder Coating is one of the tougher, more durable
protective coatings readily available today. It is currently used by most
manufacturers of metal products that require a tough protective or
decorative finish. Compared to liquid coatings, powder coatings offer a
superior chip and impact resistance, excellent flexibility, superior
chemical resistance, and fare very well against abrasion. Powder coating
will also give you a far superior protection from extreme weather and fading
from sunlight. And with today’s choices of colors and textures, why use
liquid. Be a part of the Powder coating trend.
Just like it sounds, Powder Coating is in a dry powder
state about the consistency of talcum powder. The powder is a special blend
of color pigment and resin, which when applied correctly fuses together to
create the perfect finish. The coating is applied through a special spray
gun that supplies a low current electrostatic charge as the powder exits the
nozzle. The powder adheres to the grounded metal part and is now ready to
be heated. After the part has been coated it runs through an oven for
approximately 15-25 minutes at 400 degrees. This high temperature is what
ensures the toughness of the finish. During this time the powder, melts,
flows and cures. After the painted part cools it is ready for the expertise
of our quality control. Upon approval it is ready for shipment.
Here again, we understand that from the minute the job
comes in, to the moment of shipping, all stages of production are crucial to
the perfect finish. Customer satisfaction is our utmost concern.
Powder coating is truly the way to go. It is
environmentally safe. As with liquids, harmful emissions are released into
the air, but with powder coating there are no solvents or pollutants that
are emitted. This process is also cost effective. The waste is minimal.
With the collection of all unused powder and the ability for recirculation
there is less wasted material, which means lower costs to you and less
environmental regulations for the both of us.
