The Advantages of Powder Coating

If you are not familiar with Powder Coating Technology, you are probably
wondering what makes it so great. With your needs in mind, here is a brief
introduction to Powder Coating Technology.
The Process: The chemicals used in powder coating are finely ground
particles of pigment and resin. These particles are electrostatically charged
and then sprayed onto the surface to be coated, just as if it were paint. The
material that is to receive the coating is electrically grounded. The charged particles are attracted
to the grounded workpiece and adhere to the surface. The piece is then heated in an
industrial oven which causes the particles to fuse themselves to the material. This
provides a very attractive finish.
The Benefits: Because of the process, all types of powder coating provide
a durable and uniform finish. Depending on your particular application and needs,
different types of powder coating are available to provide extra protection from
ultra-violet rays, corrosion, abrasion, and chemicals. Some types are even approved
for use by the FDA in food grade applications. We will provide the particular type
of powder coating that you need for your application.
