Powder coating is a
painting process in which plastic resin, in the form of powder is sprayed and
heated onto a variety of materials and products.
The process begins by
cleansing the product and coating it with iron phosphate.
It is then simultaneously charged electrically and sprayed with the
powder in the color of choice. This
enables the paint to stick to the product providing a consistency of thickness
ensuring a high quality finish. It
is then baked in an oven, in which the amount of time depends upon the type of
powder and product. Once the oven
process ends, the product will be allowed to cool.
The most attractive
quality of powder coating is the durability of the end product with its evenly
coated paint job. It is virtually
chip, scratch, and chemical resistant. As
opposed to solvent-based painting, powder coating is environmentally safe, and
the waste can be salvaged and reused. Also,
there are endless choices of colors and a wide variety of finishes.
Any metal product
with the ability to withstand high temperature and electrical charges can be
powder coated. It will sustain an
even finish over the entire surface of the most complex pieces.
