What is powder coating?

Powder coating is the bonding of a finely ground pigment and resin onto a metal surface. The result is a finish that protects the underlying material from corrosion and retains its color for years.

The process explained

Powder coatings are a mix of polymer resins, curatives, pigments, leveling agents, flow modifiers, and other additives, that are heat-fused, cooled, and ground into a homogenous powder similar to flour. We apply powder to workpiece in a process called electrostatic spray deposition (ESD), which pneumatically delivers positively charged powder particles to a grounded substrate. A curing oven then causes a chemical reaction in which the particles fuse, creating an exceptionally durable finish.

 

Superior durability

Powder coating has set the industry standard for finish longevity and color-durability. Exposure to impacts, chemicals, UV light, and extreme weather elements can cause liquid paint finishes to crack, flake, and fade, requiring costly recoats and repairs. Powder coating significantly reduces scratching, chipping, abrasion, corrosion, and fading, creating a finish that costs less in the long run. As a result, powder coating has long been industry standard for marine, aircraft, industrial, commercial, and high-performance automotive applications. We specialize in large applications of functional coatings for infrastructure, including water systems, power plants, and other large commercial and public-sector installations.

Unparalleled versatility

Powder coatings can be virtually any color and can be color-matched to your existing application. Coatings also have a wide variety of textures, including fine gloss to accentuate underlying features, or matte, semi-gloss, low-gloss, metallic, wrinkled or hammertones, which can minimize imperfections in underlying surfaces.

We are Eco-Friendly

Liquid finishes generally contain nearly 80% volatile organic compounds (VOC) solvents that get released into the environment every time they are applied, which is more often than our powder-based finishes. By contrast, our dry-powder products involve no solvents and release negligible or no VOCs, and any non-adhering powder can be retrieved and reused, virtually eliminating waste.

Legislation controlling air pollution and waste product has become ever more stringent over the past 30 years and have significantly increased over the past 10 years. Our protective coating and abrasive blasting solutions will help your company comply with government regulations.

In the end, waste and pollution cost money, whether through fines and penalties, application efficiency, and the need to reapply. Staying compliant with design specifications and government regulations costs less with our highly durable, low waste, low emission product.  

We think green. You can too.
