The Powder Coating Process Explained
1. Surface Preparation: We ensure the item is clean by removing any old paint, rust, or debris. Our pre-treatment process eliminates oil, soil, lubrication greases, metal oxides, and welding scales. This involves degreasing, rinsing, phosphating.
2. Applying the Powder: The powder coating is applied using an electrostatic spray gun that imparts a positive electric charge to the powder. This ensures the powder covers every corner and improves the finish and durability of the coating.
3. Heating (Curing): The item is heated in a large oven to a precise temperature of 215°C (420°F). This curing process causes the powder to melt and form a smooth, strong layer that enhances the item’s durability and appearance. The temperature control during this phase ensures perfect results every time.
4. Cooling Down: Following the heating process, the item is allowed to cool. This cooling phase is critical, as the coating hardens and becomes even more durable as it cools. It’s an essential step in ensuring the finish is tough and long-lasting, ready to withstand the test of time.
5. Quality Check: The final step is a comprehensive quality check to ensure the coating is flawless and meets our standards. We meticulously inspect each item to confirm that the finish is uniform and adheres perfectly to the prepared surface.
Why Choose Powder Coating?
Choosing powder coating comes with a bunch of perks that traditional painting just can’t match.
Durability: It’s extremely tough and can withstand wear and tear much better.
Environmentally Friendly: Powder coating emits fewer harmful chemicals compared to some traditional paints (emits lower emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs))
Thickness: We can apply a thick layer without compromising the look or strength of the finish.
Longevity: Powder coating lasts longer and is more resistant to rust and damage.
Creative Finishes: Offers a range of creative finishes and effects for a unique look that traditional paint can’t match.

Powder covering is a prevalent completion that is found on many items around the world. It seems as though paint however is very strong and intense. It was created when they tracked down a definition for a finely ground “plastic” powder. Powder covering doesn’t blur and is very chip and break safe, adaptable, and can be applied to all metals and numerous non-conductive materials.
It is a dry covering, applied as a free-streaming, dry powder. The principle distinction between a traditional fluid paint and powder coat is that the powder covering requires no dissolvable to keep the fastener and filler parts in a fluid suspension structure. The covering is applied electrostatically and is then restored by means of hotness to permit it to stream and shape an intense “film.” It is made with a hard completion that is a lot harder than regular paint
The Powder Coating advantage:
- No zero volatile organic compounds (VOC)
- A thicker coating than conventional liquid coatings
- Less hazardous waste than conventional liquid coatings
- More consistent coatings
The powder coating process involves three basic steps:
- Preparation
Abirang Powder Coating removes oil, soil, lubrication greases, metal oxides, welding scales, etc. prior to the coating process. Degreasing, rinsing, phosphating, and then rinsing for a second time is the most common for a variety of metals. The pre-treatment process both cleans and improves the bonding of the powder to the metal. - Powder Application
The powder is sprayed using an electrostatic gun which creates a positive electric charge on the powder. The powder is sprayed on a grounded object and allows the powder to adhere to the word piece. - Curing
The workpiece is heated to 215°C (420°F), to allow the powder to chemically react to form a polymer network that is resilient. Once the object is removed from the oven the cooling process begins. The powder coating process is now complete.
FAQ
1. What is powder coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process where a powder material is applied to surfaces, then cured under heat to form a hard, protective layer. It’s known for durability, resistance to corrosion, and wide range of colors and finishes.
2. How long does the powder coating process take?
The entire powder coating process typically takes about 1 to 2 days, depending on the complexity and size of the project. This includes surface preparation, coating application, and curing time.
3. Can any metal object be powder coated?
Most metal objects can be powder coated as long as they can withstand the curing process’s heat, typically around 400°F. This includes items like automotive parts, outdoor furniture, and metal fencing.
4. How do I prepare my items for powder coating?
Before bringing your items in for powder coating, make sure they are free of grease, oil, and loose rust. We handle the rest, including any necessary sandblasting, to ensure the best possible coating adhesion and finish.
5. How durable is powder coating compared to traditional paint?
Powder coating offers a finish that is far more durable and resistant to chipping, fading, and wear than traditional paint. It’s especially suited for items exposed to harsh weather conditions or heavy use, ensuring a longer-lasting, more resilient finish.
6. What types of finishes are available with powder coating?
You can have a variety of finishes with Powder coating, from smooth and matte to textured and glossy. We ensure you get the exact look you’re looking for your project.
7. Is powder coating environmentally friendly?
Yes, powder coating is considered more environmentally friendly than traditional liquid paints. It emits lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reduces waste by allowing overspray to be recycled, and typically requires less energy during the curing process, contributing to a smaller environmental footprint.
8. Can powder coating be applied to non-metal surfaces?
You can have a variety of finishes with Powder coating, from smooth and matte to textured and glossy. We ensure you get the exact look you’re looking for your project.
9. How does the weather or climate affect powder coated surfaces?
Powder coated surfaces are highly resistant to various weather conditions, including sun exposure, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. This durability makes powder coating an ideal choice for outdoor and exposed items, ensuring they maintain their finish and resist corrosion over time.
10. What maintenance is required for powder coated items?
Maintaining powder coated items is generally straightforward and minimal. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is usually sufficient to keep surfaces looking new. It’s important to avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the finish. For outdoor items, an occasional rinse or wipe-down will help to remove dust, dirt, and grime, preserving the coating’s appearance and protective qualities.
