Powder Coating

Powder coating is a dry finishing process used to apply a dry coating material. The coating material is made up of finely ground particles of resin and pigment for colour, along with other additives for specific functions such as gloss or hardness. The dry powder coating is delivered to a spray gun tip that is fitted with an electrode to provide an electrostatic charge to the powder as it passes through a charged area at the gun tip. The charged powder particles are attracted to a grounded part and are held there by electrostatic attraction until melted and fused into a uniform coating in a curing oven.

Because of this process the benefits of using powder coating far outweigh the use of traditional wet paints. For example, powder coated finishes resist scratches, corrosion, abrasion, chemicals and detergents far more than paint and last much longer.

The colour options for powder coating are almost limitless. For example, did you know there are over five different colours of black? We certainly didn’t!
