Why Powder Coat?

What is powder coating?

Powder coating basically is pulverized plastic, which is a dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Also unlike liquid paint, it doesn't need to dry. Once it cools from being cured, it is ready to handle.

Benefits of powder coating

  • Powder coating results in a thick, dense finish on metal products which can be more durable and longer-lasting than conventional painting.  
  • Powder coating creates the most even finished surfaces (horizontal and vertical surfaces) because the powder is sprayed and heated without drips or application traces.
  • Powder coating is very versatile; it comes in all kinds of colors and textures. 
  • Powder coating is an environmentally safe finishing process because it produces few volatile organic compounds. 

Better than wet paint

Powder coating provides better performance than wet paint – it is more resistant to chipping, scratching and other wear because of the thermal bonding it undergoes during curing and because it can be applied in much thicker layers.
