Powder Coating

Powder Coating is common in uses for consumable goods such as household items, appliances, and automotive exteriors. The end result of Powder Coating provides an extremely smooth and attractive surface, which makes the process ideal for the consumer market.

In this coating method, a powder material is applied to a surface, and then heated so that it melts and flows to form a smooth, even film. The process involves a number of steps, from the blasting/stripping and pretreatment of the surface to the application and curing of the powder coating.

In addition to the visual appeal of Powder Coating, the end result provides a durable finish that is resistant to wear, fading, and corrosion.
