Powder Coating

What is Powder Coating?

Powder Coating is an environmentally friendly method of applying paint to achieve the perfect finish.

To apply a 'Wet' paint, solvents are required to allow the paint to become a liquid thus allowing it to be applied to the object. This solvent makes the paint sticky, causing it to adhere to the surface.

With Powder Coating, only the paint solids are sprayed onto the product, in an atomised powder form.

The powder is drawn to the product and adheres to the product due to an electrostatic charge applied to the powder during spraying.   

The product, fully and evenly covered with the powder paint is then heated in an Oven, wherein the powder fuses on to the product and thus forms a smooth, tough and resilient coating.

  What are the benefits of Powder Coating?

 High quality.Because the powder is fused onto the product, it has excellent scratch resistance properties.It also has a pleasing 'smooth' appearance and forms a sealed skin around the product thus minimising corrosion risk.

Powder Coating also leads the way in surface finishing technology from an enviromental perspective.
