At Shearfab we pride ourselves on being specialists in metal fabrication. One of the key services we offer to enhance the quality and longevity of our metal products is powder coating.
Powder coating is a dry finishing technique where a fine powder and resin are applied to a surface. The process begins with preparation, where the object or part is thoroughly cleaned. In the main application phase, the powder is sprayed onto the metal part using either automated or handheld coating guns, or a combination of both, ensuring even adhesion. After the powder is applied, the coated object is placed in a high-temperature oven to cure.
But what are the main benefits of powder coating?
- Durability: powder coating produces a thicker, more durable finish than traditional liquid paints. It resists chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing better than other finishes. This makes it ideal for items that need to withstand harsh environments or rough handling.
- Cost-effectiveness: the powder coating process is highly efficient. Overspray can be collected and reused, minimising waste and reducing the overall cost of the coating process. Additionally, because the finish is more durable, there are fewer maintenance and touch-up costs over time.
- Quick turnaround times: with a streamlined process and rapid curing times, powder coating allows for quicker turnaround compared to traditional painting methods. This efficiency means faster project completion times for our clients.
Powder coating is an excellent choice for anyone looking to achieve a durable, attractive, and environmentally friendly finish on their metal products.
