Powder Coating

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied 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 to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form.

The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a “skin”. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as “whiteware”, aluminium extrusions, and automobile and bicycle parts.

So in the case where a more durable finish is desired or one that gives a textured feel, in these cases the best option is powder coating.

Our powder coating service includes polyester, epoxy polyester and Nylon and can be provided using conventional spray techniques (where a normal film thickness is required), or a fluidised bed (for heavy film thickness). Additionally, powder coating can be applied in almost any colour and a selection of finishes.
