About 40 years ago, powder coating was introduced in North
America. It is now the fastest growing finishing technology
in use today.
Powder Coating is dry paint. It contains no solvents and is
applied in its dry powder form directly to the surface of metals
to be
coated. Each powder particle contains the necessary resin,
pigment, modifiers and curing agent.
Powder is applied electro statically by charging the powder
particles and applying them directly to the grounded part.
The charged
powder adheres to the surface until it enters a curing oven
where the powder melts, bonds and cures to the desired surface
characteristic.
The result is coating which provides a uniform, durable,
high quality finish.
Quality - Powder is cost effective and is superior to most
liquid coatings for:
• Chip resistance
• Corrosion resistance
• Chemical resistance
• Abrasion resistance
• Impact resistance
• Adhesion
• Ultraviolet resistance
- Since there are no solvents, the entire powder
coating process is environmentally friendly.
• There are no VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions
to the atmosphere.
• There is no generation of hazardous waste.
• Environmental compliance issues are virtually eliminated.
- Powder Coating
is typically less expensive than liquid paint when equal
products are compared. Our Systems can handle your largest and
