What is Powder Coating?

Since introduction in Australia almost 40 years ago, powder coating has become the fastest growing finishing technology in use today.

Powder Coating is dry paint. It contains no solvents and is applied in its dry powder form directly to the surface of metals to be coated. Each powder particle contains the necessary resin, pigment, modifiers and curing agent.

Powder is applied electrostatically by charging the powder particles and applying them directly to the grounded part. The charged powder adheres to the surface until it enters a curing oven where the powder melts, bonds and cures to the desired surface characteristic. The result is coating which provides a uniform, durable, high quality finish.

Why Powder Coating?

Special Applications Include:

• Anti Graffiti
• Architectural
• Functional Pipe and Pump
• Military Spec
• Anti-Gassing
• High Heat Resistance
• Zinc Rich Primers

...and many others.

Environment - Since there are no solvents, the entire powder coating process is environmentally friendly.

• There are no VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions to the atmosphere.
• There is no generation of hazardous waste.
• Environmental compliance issues are virtually eliminated.

Powder coating application is approved by EPA.
