What is Powder Coating?

Powder Coating, often called "dry" painting, is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to a wide range of materials and products that are used by both industries and consumers. It is an environmentally friendly process which offers finishes in a wide variety of styles and colors. Recent advancements in powder coating technology have made it available for use on a vast range of products.

The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality, and attractive finish. Powder coating is the fastest-growing finishing technology in North America, representing over 10% of all industrial finishing applications. Let us give your equipment/product a long-lasting and durable finish today.

Items that can be painted range from large industrial parts to household items such as motorcycles, wheels, fireplaces, gates or railings.

Advantages of powder coating over liquid finishes:

• Uniform quality finish without paint runs.
• Powder coating process ensures complete coverage, even on complex shapes
• Choice of finishes - clear, plain colour, metallic or textured.
• Corrosion resistance.
• Gloss and colour retention - protection against fading.
• Good at resisting potential damage from, for example, abrasion, acids, and solvents
• Electrical insulation capabilities.
• Applicable to many types of metal, such as: steel, zinc, brass and aluminium.
• Environmentally friendly (negligible release of VOCs)
