Degreasing

Oil, grease and grime are the enemies of a good finish. If they are left on a part, a new coating can’t bond to the metal, and it will blister, peel or flake off early. At Arkansas Painting & Specialties (APS) in Little Rock, degreasing is one of the ways we get oil and grease off a part before it is coated.

Why Degrease Before Coating?

Contaminants left on a surface cause adhesion failure. Getting the oil and grease off first gives the coating clean metal to bond to.

• Better Adhesion – The coating bonds to clean metal, not to a film of oil.
• Longer-Lasting Finish – A coating applied to a clean surface holds up for years in harsh environments.

Equipment We Work On

• Machinery clogged with oil, dirt and grease
• Oil and gas valves, pumps and compressors
• Farm equipment and machine tools
• Wheels, rims, shelving and lawn furniture

If you can get your equipment on a truck and bring it to us, we can complete the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a part need to be degreased before powder coating?

Oil and grease keep the coating from bonding to the metal, which leads to blistering, peeling and early failure.

Yes. We work on everything from small parts to farm, construction and oil and gas equipment. If it fits on a truck, bring it in.
