Powder coating services are used to finish many industrial products composed of metal. This process can typically be used on any metal object that can hold the electrostatic charge needed to affix the powder coating and can tolerate the high heat levels of the curing process. Mild steel galvanized, and electroplated steel, aluminum, stainless steel and most other steel alloys can be powder coated.
Durable and Protective
Because of the advanced method with which powder coating services are applied, all types of powder coating provide a durable, uniform and attractive finish. All powder coatings are decorative and protective, and different formulations of them are available to provide extra protection from ultra-violet rays, corrosion, abrasion, and chemicals. Some types are even approved for use by the FDA in food grade applications.
Consistency and Uniformity
The unique method with which powder coating is applied results in superior consistency and uniformity of the finish without sags, drips, runs, or bubbles. The finish an extremely tough, durable coating which enhances the value of any product to which it is applied. That is why this coating has become the coating of choice for many leading manufacturers.
Beauty and Versatility
Powder coatings are available in an amazing variety of decorative colors and textures to stretch the limits of the most imaginative designer; the application options are numerous. Powder coating is now the fastest growing finishing technology in North America.
Performance and Quality
It has performance properties such as impact resistance, flexibility, and corrosion resistance that are better than liquid coating. Powder coated parts resist cracking, peeling, and marring during handling and normal service use. In many cases, merchandise is specifically advertised as being powder coated because of the quality image it projects.
Saves Energy and Money
Powder coating services waste less energy than liquid painting. Taking automation and oven efficiency into account, powder coating requires less energy in the total system compared to solvent based systems. With respect to energy savings, labor costs, rework costs, material usage, waste disposal, and overall line efficiency, powder coating is the preferred finish. The advantage to manufacturers and to the consumer is a coated part with a superior quality finish at a reasonable cost.
