Providing Powder Coating & Sandblasting in Glen Innes

Powder coating is a finishing process where a dry powder, typically a polymer or thermoplastic, is applied electrostatically to a surface, then cured under heat to form a skin-like coating. This method provides a durable, attractive finish that is more resistant to chipping, scratching and fading compared to traditional paint. It's widely used on various products, including household appliances, automotive parts and outdoor furniture, due to its versatility and long-lasting properties.

Powder coating can be applied to most metal types; however, the metal must be able to withstand the curing process's high temperatures. Metals like steel, stainless steel, aluminium and brass are commonly powder-coated. Nonetheless, it is not suitable for metals that may deform or lose structural integrity when exposed to such heat, like low-melting-point alloys or certain types of cast iron.

Powder coating is renowned for its longevity, typically lasting between 15-20 years, depending on the exposure to harsh conditions. The coating's life can be extended with proper application and maintenance, especially if the coated item is used indoors or in mild outdoor environments. Factors such as ultraviolet light exposure, climate and the physical wear and tear the coated item undergoes will affect the coating's durability.
