So, what kinds of things can we powder coated? Powder coating can be used on anything that can resist temperatures of 400 degrees or higher. Here are a few examples:
Powder coating is a type of coating that is electrostatically applied as a dry powder and then heated to allow the powder to form a durable finish layer. Powder coating is commonly used to coat metals, such as automobiles, bicycle components, home appliances, and so on, to provide a hard surface that is tougher than ordinary paint.
The fundamental difference between a typical liquid paint and a powder coating from a chemical standpoint is that a powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. Powder coating offers several advantages over traditional paint including the ability to apply thicker coatings with minimal running or sagging, fewer differences between vertically and horizontally coated surfaces overall.
While it is reasonably simple to apply thick powder coatings that cure to a smooth, texture-free surface, it is more difficult to apply smooth thin layers when working with powder coating. The film becomes rougher and has an “orange peel” appearance as the thickness is lowered. This isn’t always a bad thing; many items benefit from a more textured surface appearance because it hides metal flaws that occur during production or sandblasting. Powder coated surfaces with an “orange peel” look also hide fingerprints that may have been left behind during the coating process. Finally, numerous colors can be applied before curing them all together during the powder coating process, allowing for color blending and bleed special effects.
The Powder Coating process is incredibly efficient – most projects only require one coat, which helps to keep project expenses to a minimum. Powder coating consists of the spray application of a dry, electro-statically charged powder to a metal component or part. Once the powder is applied, the part is cured in an oven to produce a durable, long-lasting finish. Powder coating is often times less expensive than wet paint and requires less energy and waste. It is also simple to adjust the coating thickness to fit the project’s protection needs. It is feasible to obtain a thicker coating than liquid paint while maintaining coating integrity.
Powder coating provides a more durable finish than traditional paint, and it is also less likely to chip or fade. Coatings are available in a wide range of colors and distinctive effects to give the workpiece the look you want. Powder coating also produces fewer changes in look between horizontally and vertically coated surfaces, resulting in a more consistent appearance across the product. We often find that powder coating can help hide small blemishes in a part. Many cast metal parts are powder coated with a textured finish to hide the often un-smooth surfaces that cast metal produces. For more information on the colors and textured finishes of powder coating available, please contact us and we will be glad to assist you.
If your part is not already stripped of its old finish, we do a complete cleaning and old-finish removal by a chemical or sand blasting process. It is critical to remove all dirt, oil, grease, lubricant, metal oxides, welding scale, and other contaminants prior to the powder coating process. Before initiating the powder coating process, sandblasting (or other abrasive media blasting procedures) is highly recommended. Then a preparation process involving washing the part. Now we are ready for the actual powder coating, choosing one of hundreds of colors or finishes (matte, semi-gloss, gloss, hammertone and more), single or multicolor. After the part is covered in powder, we bake it in our oven at a high temperature, curing the powder on your part. Anything that’s metal can be powder coated!
