Powder Coating
The advantages of powder coating include speed, cost-effectiveness, and a visually even surface. The process is fast and economical because there is no need to wait for drying; the product is baked instead. We can apply both the primer and topcoat in the same day.
Powder coating is electrostatic. The electrostatic charge is applied through the paint gun or an automatic painting machine. The painting line is grounded, so when the powder paint is sprayed, the metal attracts it. This ensures the paint evenly coats corners and edges.
After the powder coating, the products are baked in an oven. In the oven, the powder coating melts and cross-links. This chemical reaction forms a durable film, meaning the coating will not crack or peel but will stretch.
Powder coating is environmentally friendly because, thanks to the electrostatic charge, there is less waste compared to wet painting. We collect excess powder coating with a cyclone, allowing us to reuse the paint. Powder coating also does not contain solvents, so it does not produce harmful solvent emissions.
If additional protection for the product is desired, it can be finished with a clear coat, for example. We are happy to discuss options with our customers, as we have experience painting products of various sizes and for different applications.
Please note that we can also reassess alternative coating methods together. This saves you time and resources by avoiding unnecessary over-specification of the surface treatment. For instance, we can conduct a comparative test between powder coating and wet painting.
Hanging:
It is advisable to consider the hangability of the product already in the design phase. The product is usually hung either from a designated hole or a corner.
We are happy to discuss which part of the product is suitable for hanging.
