Powder coating is a method of providing a paint coating over a variety of metals, i.e. aluminium or steel, to achieve a decorative finish and increases its durability. The powder coating method involves the application of a powder which contains a mixture of thermoplastic/thermoset polymer, combined with pigments, curatives, levelling agents, flow modifiers and other additives. An electrostatic paint sprayer, electrically charges the powder towards the metal, which ensures a perfect coverage before heat curing, which solidifies the powder and bonds onto the metal. This ultimately provides an even and tough finish.
As with any aspect of finishing, the result is only as good as the initial preparation and material, where our pre-treatment consists of Shot Blasting, etch priming and degreasing.
In comparison to other methods such as liquid or spray, powder coating does not require binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form.
Powder Coating is highly durable to chipping, fading, scratching and depending on the grade of powder will with stand sun bleaching.
Powder coating is an environmentally friendly option due to its lack of solvents and does not release volatile organic compounds that may harm the environment.
