Benefits of Powder Coating

The powder coating follows a unique application and curing process and produces a single, even surface across the entire unit once the powder is melted and fused. Therefore, the common issues of dripping and running when using a wet paint process are non-existent.

There is very little waste in the powder coating process. Powder usage can be controlled based on every customer’s individual requirements. There is also a time saving during the process as no time is wasted waiting for each coat to dry.

Powder coating offers a number of economic benefits. The major benefit is an increased efficiency and reduction of over-spray. With an average transfer efficiency of 60-70% with reclamation and reuse of excess powder, powder coating outperforms liquid paint which offers a transfer efficiency average of 30-35% with no possibility of reclaiming over spray.

Powder coated surfaces are more durable and resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, pealing, flaking, corrosion and wear and tear compared to other paint options. It is also one of the most economical, durable and colour fade resistant finishes available. A comprehensive & thorough pre-treatment process also assists in prolonging the life of the coating.

Powder coating offers customers a virtually unlimited colour choice with virtually any colour being available. Along with colour options, there are a number of different textures and finishes available. Textures range from smooth surfaces to wrinkled or matt. Generally, a rougher texture is used to hide surface imperfections.

With powder coating, surface maintenance is as easy as wiping the product down from time to time. The surface finish produced is very resilient so you won’t have to worry about rust or any damage caused as a result of cleaning.

Powder coating is one of the most environmentally friendly processes with virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) given off into the earth & air. Waste is also minimised as almost all excess powder is recycled and reused. The disposing of waste materials is done in a more eco-friendly manner.
