Powder coating is not like regular paint. Because it is applied as a dry powder and attracted to the item being coated using an electrostatic charge, it forms a durable, even finish. It's tough. It looks great. And it lasts a long, long time. Powder coating is an attractive choice due to environmental advantages.
Because of the need to apply a charge to the item to be coated, powder coating is best suited to metalic items. You can find powder coating on many many items you are already familiar with, from household items to car and bike parts. Even your shiny, red fire extinguisher is a result of powder coating.
Let your imagination run wild! We have thousands of colors to choose from, or we can even color match. You may even be able to choose different textures depending on the application. Check out our colors page for more details.
Removal of dirt, oil, grease, metal oxides, scale and other contaminants is essential prior to the powder coating process. We use a variety of chemical and mechanical methods depending on the size and the material of the item to be powder coated, the type of impurities to be removed and the performance requirement of the finished product.
After cleaning and preparation, the coating can be applied. The item is placed in the paint booth and electrically grounded. Then using an electrostatic gun, the dry powdered coating is positively charged and sprayed toward the target. The powder is then drawn to the object by the powerful electrostatic charge creating an even coating.
The item is then placed in our state-of-the-art oven. This melts the colored powder into a uniform film. Once cooled, this becomes a hard, durable coating.
