What is Powder Coating?
A: The powder coating process uses a solvent free dry mix of plastic resins, pigments and fillers that melt and fuse together when heated. The solid particles of coating are electrostatically charged in a spray gun and carried by low velocity air to the surface of the piece to be coated. The electrostatic charge holds the powder particles in place while the part is cured in a 400-degree oven. This powder coating temperature causes a chemical reaction to occur and the powder to cure, creating a highly durable finish.
Is it Environmentally Friendly?
A: Powder coating is an environmentally friendly process unlike solvent-based wet paint systems. With EPA regulations growing ever stricter, powder coating is fast becoming the technology of choice. Since the powder coating process does not use solvents in any way, VOC emission problems are eliminated.
Is Powder Coating Durable?
A: Powder Coatings resist cracking and peeling and are extremely abrasion, corrosion and chemical resistant. The performance characteristics of powder coating match or exceed the characteristics achieved from conventional solvent-based coatings.
What Types of Surfaces Can You Finish?
A: Any metal object that can hold an electrostatic charge and withstand the heat of the curing process can be powder coated. Powder can be applied to intricate surfaces and still maintain a uniform finish across the entire piece. Powder coating is ideal for items such as:
• Industrial Fabrications
• Architectural Signage
• Trade Show Exhibits
• Metal Fencing and Railings
• Retail Displays & Fixtures
• Patio Furniture
• Motorcycle Frames Wheels & Parts
• Automotive Frames Wheels & Parts
• Off Road Vehicle Frames & Parts
• Bicycle Frames & Parts
• Antique Beds, Gliders & Chairs
• Large Bird Cages

What About Holes with Threads and Other Areas That Need To Stay Coating Free?
A: High temperature masking can be applied to special surfaces such as threads or high tolerance areas to keep them from being coated. We also use high temperature silicon plugs for threaded holes or shafts.
How Long Will My Finish Last?
A: It depends on several factors including the type of finish, the surface you’re having coated, and the purpose of the part. It’s not uncommon for some finishes to last for years, provided they’re not abused or subjected to extreme conditions.
