What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a method of applying a decorative and protective 
finish to a wide range of parts. The powder used for the process is a 
mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin. A special spray gun 
is used which electro statically charges the powder as it is being applied. 
The charged powder particles adhere to the grounded parts until 
heated to the proper temperature. The powder will then melt and fuse 
into a smooth continuous coating that is highly durable, scratch and chip resistant. 
Powder coating is the fastest-growing finishing technology in North America.

Why Powder Coating?

Powder coating is significantly more durable than conventional paints. 
It is extremely resistant to chips, abrasion; heat up to 400 degrees F. 
UV light, fuel and chemicals - up to 10 times more durable than ordinary 
paint. Powder coating eliminates runs, drips and sags common with paint 
finishes. It also has better corrosion resistance properties that are 
difficult to achieve with other methods or materials. A wide selection of 
colors is available including solid tone, texture, translucent, and 
metallic. Powder coating is environmentally friendly; there are no 
solvents or hazardous material used during the application process.

Part Preparation

Because the powder adheres electro statically, it must be applied to a very 
clean surface. It will not cling well to old paint, primer, most metal fillers or rust.
The surfaces need to be stripped with chemicals and/or sandblasted. 
Sandblasting is preferred for getting impurities out of the pours in the metal. 
The coated parts are cured in an oven at 400-500 degrees F.
for approx. 20  minutes or more. Any material that cannot withstand this time 
and temperature exposure must be removed before coating. 
This would include foam insulation, rubber, plastic, bushings, paper or gaskets.
