We will do our best to match or beat any competitor's written estimate. For those of you who are unfamiliar with powder coating, it is a tough, decorative finish applied to various types of materials and products used by industrial companies and individual consumers. The powder is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigments and resins. Powder coating colors are virtually limitless, including high- and low-gloss, transparent, metallic, and textured finishes. Different types of powders contain different characteristics such as chemical resistance, weatherability, and protection against UV light. The finely ground powder particles are sprayed onto a pre-treated "substrate" or item you are coating. That part (or substrate) is electrically grounded. The powder travels through a spray gun becoming positively charged. The negatively charged part attracts the positively charged powder particles and causes them to adhere to the part. The part is then placed in an oven for a specified time and temperature. Times will vary, depending on the gauge and size of the part. In the oven, the powder particles will melt and cross-link or bond with each other. This cross-linking is what gives the powder coating its durability. Once the part has completed its time in the oven and is cool to the touch, it is ready to be used. There is no waiting for the powder to cure. Call us today to find out which powder coating will fit your application. Please feel free to call with any questions or to set up a time to visit our facility. Thank you and God bless.
