Powder Coating

What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a dry finishing process that has become extremely popular in a wide range of industries, from automotive and aviation to appliances and furniture. The powder coating process involves applying a dry powder material to a surface and then curing it under heat to allow it to flow and form a durable finish. Powder coating provides a number of advantages over traditional wet paint finishes, including improved durability, better resistance to corrosion and UV damage, and a wide range of colour and texture options. Powder coating is typically used on metal surfaces, but it can also be used on plastics and other materials. The powder material is applied using a special electrostatic spray gun, which gives the powder material a negative charge. When the charged powder particles come into contact with the grounded surface of the object being coated, they are attracted to the surface and adhere to it. After the powder material has been applied, the object is placed in an oven and heated to a temperature that causes the powder to flow and cure.
