If you are new to the process we have collated this short description to bring you up to speed – but if you have any queries about the process, colours, capability as to sizes and materials don’t hesitate to ask – there are no daft questions – we are here to help!

A traditional “wet paint” method of coating metal and other materials uses solvents (which aren’t entirely environmentally friendly) to allow the Paint to be in liquid form when applied by brush or spray.  The solvent makes the solids in the paint sticky and it adheres to the surface.

The process of Powder Coating uses only the solids (as atomized powder) to be sprayed, which adheres to the surface by electrostatic charge passing through the powder while being sprayed.

The overspray from powder coating is collected and reused – compared to wet spraying which can waste up to 50% (or more depending on the expertise of the operative doing the spraying) – which makes Powder Coating a more cost effective process.

We then heat the component covered in the powder in an oven, which fuses the powder with the metal.
