Powder Coating Can’t Do Everything

A Powder Coated Finish does NOT cover up surface flaws of the substrate. In fact, a smooth, high gloss powder coating CAN ACCENTUATE surface irregularities. The bottom line is that surface preparation prior to powder coating must deal with surface irregularities. However, choosing a texture or vein powder coating can help disguise a flawed surface of a product.

Does Powder Coating Prevent Rust

Does powder coating act as a rust preventative? If the powder coated finish is unbroken it can keep out the moisture and oxygen needed for rust. But if the coating is damaged it offers an opening for rust to grow and to lift up the protective film. A zinc undercoating (if present) will halt the delamination of the powder coating. Bottom line, a powder coated finish with a zinc undercoat is the best combination against rust.

Covid-19 Aftermath

The COVID-19 SHUT DOWN OF THE ECONOMY created a sorry aftermath. Inflationary prices for all goods and services resulted due to the interruption of the supply chain and other economic forces.

The price and availability of coating powders have been similarly affected by the economic depression. Powder coating experience with its necessary efficiencies are all the more important today.

Color Communication

Originally Coating Powder Manufacturers advertised their own colors. So, each company displayed its own color name and numbers. Sure, it’s still in practice. However, available for your reference is the RAL COLOR NUMBER SYSTEM which can be employed to identify the exact color. We have a number of these colors in our ready-inventory.

Epoxy Electrical Insulation

Epoxy powder coating is an excellent insulation for many applications. The splitter plates used to control electrical transmission at an industrial power station are coated with 15-30 mils of epoxy. Bus Bars are insulated with 5-20 mils of Epoxy. Both applications are coated via the FLUIDIZED-BED PROCESS. Today, Epoxy powders have become more costly than polyester coating resins and are in shorter supply.
