Powder Coating
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process where a fine powder is electrostatically applied to a surface and then cured under heat. The result is a hard, durable, and attractive finish that is more resistant to scratches, chipping, and fading than traditional paint.
What Can Be Powder Coated?
Powder coating is typically applied to metal items, but it can also be used on certain other heat-resistant materials. Common applications include:
- Automotive parts (wheels, frames, bumpers)
- Outdoor furniture
- Appliances
- Metal fencing and railings
- Industrial equipment
- Bicycles and motorcycles
Benefits of Powder Coating
- Durable and long-lasting finish
- Resistant to chips, scratches, and fading
- Environmentally friendly (no harmful solvents)
- Wide range of colors and finishes available
- Cost-effective for large batches
