What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a dry finishing process that gained popularity in the 1960s. Companies and consumers choose powder coating for its high quality, durable finish, and maximum protection. Used as a functional and decorative finish, powder coatings are available in an almost limitless range of colors and textures.

Why Choose Powder Coating?

For decades now, companies and individuals have enjoyed the many benefits of powder coating finish for their valued assets.

Efficient – Very little waste is created in the powder coating process. We can spray as much or as little powder coating as needed in a single application. The spray is applied one time for an efficient and even cure. This saves time and money in operating costs.

Affordable – The materials used in the process are purchased to the size and specifications for each job. The powder is less expensive than wet paint and can be stored in a space-efficient way. The application and dry time add to this, making powder coating not only the longest-lasting solution but one of the most cost-effective solutions.

Durable – When considering just the finish, powder coating is known for being far superior in durability when compared to other paint options. During the curing process, the powder melts and forms long chemical chains as it gels together. As a result, the finish is more flexible than traditional paint and allows for bending and flexing as parts vibrate and move. It’s also very resistant to scratching, flaking, and corrosion.

Maintenance  – Powder coating is extremely easy to maintain. You don’t need any special cleaners or solvents to keep it clean. It can be wiped down with soapy water and rinsed. Because the coating is so resistant to scratching and corrosion, you don’t have to worry about rust or other damage.

Variety – There are many options for color and texture, come by our shop to see samples of our stock colors. Special colors can be ordered upon request.

Environmentally Safe – The powder used in powder coating is free of solvents and chemicals and is recognized as safe for disposal. The application releases no harmful chemicals into the atmosphere and produces little to no waste while spraying.
