WHAT IS POWDER COATING?

Powder coating is an advanced method for applying protective and decorative finishes to any kind of metals used. 

The powders that are used in the process are a mix of both pigment and resin, and these are sprayed electrostatically onto the surface of your choice. The spray of charged powder easily sticks to the surfaces and is then heated into a smooth coating in a curing oven. 

Powder coating is used in both industry metals and by consumers. It’s able to cover a variety of common metals. 

Powder coating offers a uniform, high-quality finish that looks great and remains durable. 

WHY ARE PEOPLE CHOOSING TO POWDER COAT?

Many people believe that powder coating is superior and in the anodizing vs powder coating conversation, powder coating often wins. Let’s explore what it is and what the advantages are.


ADVANTAGES

The advantages of powder coating are many, and we’ve listed a handful for you below so that you can make a better decision for your metal finishing needs. Let’s take a look:

  • More cost-effective than anodizing
  •  
    • Aluminum
    •  
  • Powder coating is so much more resistant to chipping and fading than other finishes out there.
  • Large color selection with textured finishes including:
    • Flat
    • Satin
    • Gloss
    • Metallic
    • High gloss
    • Candies
    • Iridescent
    • Wrinkle (great for hiding surface imperfections)
    • Hammer tone
    • Glitter
  • Colors stay brighter and more vibrant with powder coating.
  • Powder coating has no solvents, and it releases negligible amounts of VOCs into the atmosphere. This makes it one of the most eco-friendly metal coating materials around.

DISADVANTAGES

  • Hard to achieve thin coating layers
  • Tendency to break down if exposed to UV rays
  • Color changes can be difficult
  • It is difficult to touch up
  • Slightly less control over the speed and amount of powder coating applied
