Powder Coating, because of it’s hard wearing nature, is often the first choice when deciding product finish. Add in the other benefits, including lower cost, and it’s easy to see why powder coating has become so popular.
Applied electrostatically, the powder adheres to the charged parts. Curing to around 200ºC in the oven completes the process. When prepared correctly, powder coating forms a thick waterproof barrier, thus giving better resistance to corrosion. Solvents are not used, therefore powder coating is generally considered environmentally friendly. The finished product can be waxed and polished, just like any other paint finish.
Available in more than 200 colours and a choice of smooth gloss or textured finishes.

Because powder coating does not have a liquid carrier, it can produce thicker coatings than conventional liquid coatings without running or sagging, and powder coating produces minimal appearance differences between horizontally coated surfaces and vertically coated surfaces. Because no carrier fluid evaporates away, the coating process emits few volatile organic compounds (VOC). Finally, several powder colours can be applied before curing them all together, allowing colour blending and bleed special effects in a single layer.
Powder coatings contain no solvents and release little or no amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere.
Powder coatings can produce much thicker coatings than conventional liquid coatings without running or sagging.
Powder coated items generally have fewer appearance differences than liquid coated items between horizontally coated surfaces and vertically coated surfaces.
A wide range of speciality effects are easily accomplished using powder coatings that would be impossible to achieve with other coating processes.
Curing time is significantly faster with powder coatings compared to liquid coatings.
The most common way of applying the powder coating to metal objects is to spray the powder using an electrostatic gun which imparts a negative charge to the powder, which accelerates toward the workpiece using the powerful electrostatic charge. The object is then heated, and the powder melts into a uniform film, which is then cooled to form a hard coating.
