How does powder coating work?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process used to apply a protective and decorative layer of paint. The powder coating material consists of finely ground particles of pigment and resin. This dry powder is electrostatically charged using a spray gun. The coated workpiece is then placed in a curing oven. It is then inspected for quality, ensuring that the powder coating adheres properly, is free of defects, and meets the desired finish standards.
Why use a phosphate-free process?
Phosphate-free coatings do not produce hazardous waste materials, which minimizes the environmental impact and simplifies waste disposal and handling.
Removing phosphates also saves our customers money by eliminating costs associated with disposing of hazardous waste.
Our testing shows phosphate-free coatings can offer long-lasting protection and performance that meets or exceeds traditional coatings.
