Also provides excellent protection against corrosion, ʻaʻa, and environmental damage. Our high-quality powder coating solutions are tailored to meet your specific needs, delivering long-lasting performance and aesthetic appeal.
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a surface treatment process that involves applying a dry powder to metal or other materials to create a protective and decorative finish. Unlike liquid paints, powder coating is applied electrostatically and then cured under heat, forming a durable, uniform layer that adheres strongly to the surface. This method enhances both the appearance and performance of the coated parts.
The powder coating layer protects the material from corrosion, ʻaʻa, and environmental damage by creating a tough, long-lasting barrier. It also improves scratch resistance and provides a smooth, even finish. It is eco-friendly, as it produces little to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it a preferred choice for industries focused on sustainability.
Powder Coating Process
Powder coating is a finishing process that involves applying a dry powder to a metal surface, which is then cured under heat to form a protective and decorative coating. Here’s an overview of how it works:
1. ʻOihana hoʻomākaukau
Before applying powder, the surface must be properly cleaned and prepped. This involves removing any dirt, pono, 'ōwili, or old coatings through processes such as sandblasting, Ke Kuhi, or chemical cleaning. Proper surface prep is crucial to ensure the powder adheres evenly and effectively.
3. Curing Process
Once the powder is applied, the coated part is placed into a curing oven. The heat melts the powder, allowing it to flow and bond to the surface. This process creates a smooth, piha, and continuous coating that adheres tightly to the metal.
2. Powder Application
The coating material is a finely ground mixture of resin and pigment, which is electrostatically charged. Using a spray gun, the powder is sprayed onto the prepped surface. The electrostatic charge causes the powder particles to stick to the metal evenly, creating a uniform layer.
4. Ka nānā hope
After curing, the part is cooled and inspected for quality. A properly applied powder coat provides a thick, protective layer that resists corrosion, kinopa, a me ka lole, while also enhancing the part’s aesthetic appeal with a variety of textures and colors.
