Reason 4 – Our Powder Coating Process
Take advantage of our expertise for your powder coating project! Our experts are here every step of the way to ensure that your items are powder-coated with excellence.
Read through our powder coating process below.
#1 Pre-Treatment
Certain items may have oil, grease or rust that can contaminate the coating process and cause flaws in the final finish. (Think stubborn motor oil and grease!) We use a chemical pre-treatment and sand-blasting treatment to remove these contaminants and ensure proper adhesion.
#2 Powder Application
Our method creates an electrostatic charge on your item that attracts the powdered particles. These powder particles are drawn to the grounded substrate and create a uniform coating in the colour and finish of your choice.
#3 Curing Process
Your item is then heated and cured at high temperatures between 110 – 250°C. The powder particles melt and fuse to the substrate, forming a durable and long-lasting finish. This step is performed in our large industrial ovens here on site.
#4 Inspection Process
This step happens once the products have properly cured and cooled down. Following our quality assurance standards, our certified inspectors perform multi-stage tests to ensure excellent adhesion, thickness and uniform coating distribution.

Colour Options

Coating Protection
Powder coating has better adhesion and coating than paint, however, it is not as protective as other types of industrial coatings. It’s used primarily for aesthetics! If you need industrial levels of protection against corrosion, consider another of our products.
