Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS A POWDER COATING?

Powder coating is a finishing process that involves applying a dry powder to a surface, which is then cured under heat to form a hard, durable finish. It is widely used for its resistance to wear, corrosion, and weathering.

Unlike traditional liquid paint, powder coating does not require a solvent. The powder is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the electrically grounded surface of the object. Once coated, the object is placed in a curing oven where the powder melts and fuses into a smooth, hard and durable finish. 

This process ensures even application and superior adhesion to the surface, making it highly resistant to wear, corrosion and weathering. Powder coating is also more environmentally friendly, as it emits much less volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to traditional liquid coatings such as paint.

WHAT IS POWDER COATING USED FOR?

Powder coating is used to provide a high-quality, durable finish on a variety of products, including metal parts, machinery, automotive components, furniture, and fencing. 

Powder coating is a widely used finishing option, chosen for its aesthetic appeal and long-lasting protection.

WHAT IS THE EXPECTED LIFESPAN OF POWDER COATING?

The lifespan of powder coating depends on the environment and usage but generally lasts 15-20 years. It offers superior resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading, maintaining its appearance and protective qualities over time.

Some of the factors that will impact how long it lasts include:

  • Environment: Exposure to harsh weather conditions, UV light, chemicals, and physical abrasion can impact the longevity of the coating.
  • Maintenance: Proper care and maintenance, such as regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, can extend the life of the powder coating.
  • Application quality: Professional application ensures better adhesion and curing, which enhances durability.
