Since its introduction in North America almost 40 years ago, powder coating has become the fastest
growing finishing technology in use today.
Powder Coating is a dry paint which contains no solvents. Each powder particle contains the necessary resin, pigment, modifiers, and a curing agent.
Powder is applied in dry form electrostatically by charging the powder particles and applying them directly to the grounded part. The charged
powder adheres to the surface until it enters a curing oven where the powder melts, bonds and cures to the desired surface characteristic. The result
is coating which provides a uniform, durable, high quality finish.
Quality
Powder is cost effective and is superior to most liquid coatings for the following reasons:
- Chip resistance
- Corrosion resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Abrasion resistance
- Impact resistance
- Adhesion
- Ultraviolet resistance
- Weather-ability
