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.
