Application industries

General industrial powder coatings are used in the surfaces’ coating process, which are as diverse as shelves, lighting appliances, garden furniture, office furniture, sports equipment, fire extinguishers, and even mailboxes.

With various gloss levels and textures and the RAL color range or customized color options, powder coatings offer convenient solutions to enterprises in different industrial fields.

Our extensive powder portfolio delivers solutions that optimize transfer efficiency, reduce waste and energy consumption, enhance one-coat corrosion protection and create novel finishes with unique effects, glosses, colors and textures.

Advantages of Powder Coating:

Durability: Powder coating finishes offer excellent resistance to chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion, making them highly durable.

Environmentally Friendly: Powder coating is a more environmentally friendly option compared to liquid paint as it produces no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and minimizes waste.

Wide Range of Colors and Finishes: Powder coatings come in a vast array of colors, textures, and finishes, allowing for endless design possibilities.

Cost-Effective: Powder coating offers cost savings over time due to its durability, reduced rework, and less material wastage.

Powder Coating FAQs

IS POWDER COATING STRONGER THAN LIQUID PAINT?

Powder coating finishes are stronger than virtually all other surface finishes. The powder coating process and application makes the coating adhere tighter to the substrate than other finishes. Conventional liquid based paint will use an evaporating solvent to get the paint to stick to the surface, which does not provide as strong of an adhesion as powder coating. The resins and powder bases give each powder coat different advantages and drawbacks. Powder coatings are often mentioned as completely resistant to rust, corrosion, impact damage, and other forms of deterioration. This is false, no powder coating is entirely resistant to harm. However even the powder coats that do not specialize in a specific area such as rust resistance, will still be less likely to rust than liquid paint and other finishing methods.

WHAT SURFACES CAN I APPLY POWDER COATING TO?

Metal surfaces are by far the most common substrate for powder coatings. Both of the methods covered here revolve around an electric charge, which surfaces like metal, stainless steel, aluminum, and other steel alloys will hold with relative ease. The powder coating process using either method will require the item be exposed to incredibly high heats, meaning that a material like rubber is not an ideal substrate. By adapting the process though it is still possible for materials like glass, wood, or plastic to be powder coated.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH POWDER COAT IS RIGHT FOR MY JOB?

There are a lot of variables to take into account when choosing the right powder coating. You will want to take into account where the substrate will spend most of its time. A metal surface that is exposed to high amounts of UV and sunlight will likely need a different coating than a stainless steel appliance for your home. Other variables to consider are the level of gloss or shine you would like the finish to have, the thickness needed to coat the item, the likeliness of the coating coming into contact with a substance that may cause rust, corrosion, or physical damage, etc. There are plenty of aspects to consider so make sure to research each powder thoroughly.

HOW LONG DO POWDER COATINGS LAST?

The life span of a powder coated surface can vary depending on factors such as the substrate material, the kind of powder coating being used, where the powder coated item resides, and many more. The typical life span of a powder coating is around 15-20 years but can last even longer in some instances.

IS POWDER COATING SAFE?

The powder coating process is inherently environmentally friendly. There are no solvents or dangerous chemicals used in the application process or in the powder coats themselves. Powder coats also elicit minimal volatile organic compounds (more commonly called VOCs) unlike conventional paint methods. Powder coating is already compliant with environmental protection standards, as long as the components and equipment used while powder coating are up to date. Liquid paints often contain solvents and toxins that can be potentially harmful to both nearby people and the environment.

Powder coating is also easily recyclable. With the correct retreivement systems in place, any excess powder that did not adhere to the substrate when sprayed can be picked back up and used again for the next project.

IS POWDER COATING AFFORDABLE?

Powder coating is a very cost effective process on top of being a more durable finish. The stronger finish means that as time goes on there is less maintenance required to keep the coating looking good. Material costs for powder coating are typically cheaper than that of painting because the materials used are recyclable.

How Big or Small Can Powder Coated Parts Be?

Modern industrial powder coating facilities can accommodate a wide range of part sizes. From the tiniest fasteners to massive structural beams, there’s something for every industry.

How Long Does the Powder Coating Process Take?

Coating and curing can take as little as a few minutes to an hour, depending on part size and complexity. Typical turnaround times are quick. Because Coating Systems accomplishes everything in-house, there are no third parties to slow down the process.
