Powder Coating
A durable, decorative finish for any metal part, from intricate automotive components to large industrial machinery.
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a durable, decorative finishing technique using dry powder applied electrostatically to metal objects, then cured under heat to form a smooth layer. This method offers a tough, resistant finish against damage and corrosion, making it ideal for various applications like automotive parts and outdoor furniture. Unlike liquid paint, it's more environmentally friendly, emitting minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and allowing for recycling of overspray.

New to the process? Here are the questions we get asked most.
What is powder coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process where fine particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a surface. The charged particles adhere to the surface and are then cured under heat to form a hard, durable finish.
What are the advantages of powder coating over traditional liquid coatings?
Powder coating offers several advantages, including durability, resistance to chipping, fading, and scratching, environmental friendliness (low VOC emissions), uniform coverage, and a wide range of color and texture options.
What types of surfaces can be powder coated?
Virtually any material that can hold an electrostatic charge can be powder coated, including metal, plastic, wood, and ceramic.
What industries commonly use powder coating?
Powder coating is widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, architecture, furniture, appliances, electronics, and outdoor equipment due to its durability and versatility.
How long does powder coating last?
The lifespan of powder coating can vary depending on factors such as the application, environment, and maintenance. However, properly applied powder coating can last for many years without significant degradation.
Is powder coating environmentally friendly?
Yes, powder coating is considered environmentally friendly because it emits negligible volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during application, reducing air pollution. Additionally, overspray can be collected and reused, minimizing waste.
Can powder-coated surfaces be repaired?
Yes, damaged powder-coated surfaces can be repaired through methods such as sanding, reapplication of powder coating, and curing. However, it's essential to consult a professional for the best results.
How should powder-coated surfaces be maintained?
Powder-coated surfaces can be cleaned with mild soap and water or non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and durability of the coating.
Can powder coating be applied to outdoor surfaces?
Yes, powder coating is suitable for outdoor use. It provides excellent resistance to UV rays, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for outdoor furniture, fencing, signage, and architectural elements.
Is powder coating safe for food contact?
Powder coating can be formulated to meet FDA regulations for food contact applications. However, it's essential to use coatings specifically designed and certified for this purpose to ensure safety and compliance.
What's the largest part you can coat?
Our curing oven and sandblast booth are each 20 feet long, 10 feet high and 10 feet wide, so we handle beams, gates, trailer frames, signage and other oversized parts in one piece. Send us the dimensions and a photo and we'll confirm.
