What is powder coating?

Powder coating is an electrostatic process whereby electrically charged paint particles in the form of a powder are sprayed onto the surface of pre-treated aluminium. Once applied, the aluminium is then baked in an oven to achieve a highly durable, painted (powder coated) finish.  more

Powder is a dry coating. Instead of being dissolved or suspended in a liquid medium, such as solvent or water, powder is applied in a dry granular form. This material is a little finer than ground pepper but coarser than flour, and is applied directly to the surface to be coated. The powder is created by blending the various components (binder, resins, pigments, fillers and additives) and processing them through an extruder into a continuous mass. This homo-genous mass is cooled and broken into small chips, which are then ground into the powder. Each particle contains within it the necessary components for reforming into the finished coating. After the powder is applied to the substrate (Part), typically using an electrostatic spray process, the substrate is place in an oven where it cures, melting the powder into a smooth film on the surface of the substrate.  more

Powder coating is a special colouring technique which is mainly used on metal as an excellent way to not only colour but provide a very tough protective coating to the metal part. It is sprayed onto the part as a free-flowing dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent solution to keep the colour in a liquid form, instead it is spray applied electrostatically using the dry powder. The coating is then baked in an oven to cure it under heat. This allows it to flow and form a hard skin over the surface of the iron. This process can look very unusual to someone who has never seen it before as the dry powder is usually nearly always white in colour, baking it changes its chemical composition and it changes colour before your eyes to the final colour you want, as it enters the oven. It is used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for ...  more

Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to a wide range of materials and products that are used by both industries and consumers. The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The powder is most commonly applied by spraying with a gun that electrostatically charges the powder as it exits the tip. In most cases, the powder is applied directly to a clean, bare metal surface, with no primer or base coat (powder coating can also be applied to glass, ceramics, temperature resistant plastics and even wood). The part that is being coated is electrically grounded, causing the charged powder to cling to it. After coating, the part with the loose powder clinging to it is placed in an oven to cure. In the curing process, the powder melts and flows over the surface of the object without drips, runs or sags. The result is a highly durable and attractive finish ...

Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to a wide range of materials and products that are used by both industries and consumers. The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality, and attractive finish. Powder coating is the fastest-growing finishing technology in North America, representing over 10% of all industrial finishing applications.  more

Powder coating is a method of painting products that uses a powdered plastic resin which is melted onto the part. At State of the Art we coat both ferrous and nonferrous metals using "Electrostatic Spray" equipment.  more

Powder Coating is a finishing process that uses dry particles of pigment and resin, which are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a part. The particles coat the part and are held in place by the electric charge. The particles are then melted in an oven and fused onto the parts to become a very tough, durable coating.  more

The powder coating process uses a solvent free dry mix of plastic resins, pigments and filters that fuse together when heated. The solid particles of coating are electrostaticly charged and applied to the surface to be coated by a spray gun and carried by low velocity air.  more

Powder Coating is a metal finishing system that is sprayed in a dry powder form, and then baked to produce a durable, chemical, and scratch resistant finish. Powder Coating is not indistructable; however, it is much tougher than paint.  more

Powder coating is a method of applying a finish to a wide range of materials that are used by both industries and consumers. The powder used is a mixture of finely ground particles consisting of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surface until heated which cause them to "gel" into a smooth, consistent and uniform coating. The result is a high-quality and very attractive finish.  more
