Powder coating is a high-quality durable finish found on thousands of products you come in contact with each day. Powder coating protects the roughest, toughest machinery as well as the household items you depend on daily. It provides a more durable finish than liquid paints can offer, while still providing an attractive finish. Powder-coated products are more resistant to diminished coating quality as a result of impact, moisture, chemicals, ultraviolet light, and other extreme weather conditions. In turn, this reduces the risk of scratches, chipping, abrasions, corrosion, fading, and other wear issues.
It’s tough. It looks great. And it lasts a long, long time. In addition to being durable, powder coating is an attractive choice due to environmental advantages.
Powder coating produces a high specification coating which is relatively hard, abrasion resistant (depending on the specification) and tough. Thin powder coatings can be bent but this is not recommended for exterior applications.
The choice of colours and finishes is almost limitless.
Powder coatings can be applied over a wide range of thickness. The general consensus amongst users is to recommend a 25 micron minimum for mild interior applications and up to 60 micron minimum for exterior applications. Care must be exercised when quoting minimum thickness because some powder will not give ‘coverage’ below 60 or even 80 micron. ‘Coverage’ is the ability to cover the colour of the metal with the powder. Some of the white colours require about 75 micron to give full ‘coverage’. Certain colours must be applied at 80 micron*
Powder Coating gives consumers, businesses and industry one of the most economical, longest-lasting and most colour durable quality finishes available.
Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading and wearing than other finishes. Our colour selection is virtually unlimited with high and low gloss, metallic and clear finishes available. Colours also stay brighter and more vibrant for longer. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matt finish and rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections.
Powder coating is highly protective of our environment. Whilst liquid finishes contain solvents, which have pollutants known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), powder coating contains no solvents and releases negligible amounts, if any, of VOCs into the atmosphere. Thus, there is no longer a need for finishers to buy costly pollution control equipment. In addition, most powder coating overspray that does not adhere to the part can be retrieved and re-used, virtually eliminating the waste commonly found within liquid finishing processes.
We can offer a variety of finishes and textures available in certain colours only as follows:-
• Metallic
• Clear Lacquer
• Matt
• Satin
