Everything You Need to Know
Powder coating is one of the most popular services that we offer here at Potters, and we work with customers in a wide range of industries on all kinds of scales. What is electrostatic powder coating suitable for, though? Whether you have worked with us before or this is your first time looking for a powder coating provider, it never hurts to know more! So, here is your guide to what it is and how it can be used.
What is Powder Coating?
First of all, what exactly is powder coating? Well, it’s a way of finishing a surface to improve its longevity and appearance. Instead of using liquid paint, it uses a dry powder. This powder is sprayed onto the metal surface, and the key aspect of this process is that the powder is given an electric charge, and the surface has been grounded. This means that because of the charge, the powder sticks to the surface.
Once the piece has been fully coated, it’s placed in an oven. The heat melts the powder, which then turns into a smooth, hard layer.
What is Powder Coating Used For?
Powder coating has so many applications! As it is highly resistant to corrosion, it is a popular choice for things like railings and window frames. It’s even used on garden furniture, so chances are you already have a powder-coated item or two in your home!
It’s also ideal for metal parts that face constant wear and tear because the coating is bonded so securely to the surface. Its weather resistance and durability can also make it suitable for things like sports equipment and bicycles. From the smallest items to the biggest, powder coating has so many uses. It is one of the most versatile services that we offer, and we will be able to tell you right away if it is the right one for you.
Who Should Invest in Powder Coating?
If you are looking for an attractive finish where you have a great degree of control over the colour and finish, then power coating is a fantastic choice for you. If you are passionate about doing your bit for the planet, then you will love all that it has to offer too. The process involves no solvents and produces far fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) than other methods. Add this to the benefits that we have already discussed, and you can see why it is such a firm favourite with our customers!
