Powder Coat Finishing
We have an extremly large powder coat paint line, capable of handling components up to 4'W x 8'H x 40'L. We offer a variety of paint colors and material types, including polyesters, urethanes, epoxies, and hybrids, each with specific corrosion-resistant and chemical-resistant properties. In addition, we offer high, medium or low gloss finishes and a variety of textures for both interior and exterior applications. Our 3-stage washer has a 4th stage seal-rinse cycle, which if required, significantly increases the standard salt spray rating of 500 hours. |
What is Powder Coating? It's tough. It looks great. And it lasts a long, long time. Powder coating is a high quality finish that's found on thousands of products you come in contact with each day. It makes products durable, attractive and extremely scratch-resistant too. How does it work? Powder coating is a dry finishing process. Finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the products to be coated. The parts to be coated are positively grounded, so that the charged particles adhere to them until melted and fuse into a solid coating in a curing oven. The result: a sleek, strong, high-quality finish. The powder coating process itself offers another advantage - it is environmentally friendly and virtually pollution-free! Unlike liquid paint, no solvents are used in powder coating, so only negligible amounts of VOC's are released into the air. In addition, unused or over-sprayed powder can be recovered, so any waste is minimal and can be disposed of easily and safely. Powder coating is the fastest growing finishing technology in North America, representing over 15% of all industrial finishing applications. Powder coating is the stronger, tougher, better choice.
