Powder coating is a treatment for metal that is achieved by spraying a coloured powder onto a metal surface that has an electrical charge. The charge causes the powder to stick to the surface which is then baked on when the spraying is completed.
1. It’s highly durable
Suitable for a wide variety of uses, powder-coated panels are highly resistant to wear and tear. The coating is chip, fade, scratch and wear-resistant, making it ideal for panels that are exposed to sunlight and other variable elements as it maintains the appearance over time.
Powder coating, in addition to providing an extremely durable surface, also protects the metal below from harm. Rust, for example, is a major threat to metal parts, especially if the metal is exposed to external air and moisture. Powder coating offers a high degree of rust resistance, particularly in high-risk locations.
2. It lasts
Powder-coated items are relatively simple to maintain over time, thanks in part to their longevity. Because the material is so durable, the coating is known to last a long period with the thermal bonding method ensuring it remains resistant to a variety of weather and environmental factors.
It is still important to undertake planned maintenance and cleaning of powder-coated metals, however, this can easily be completed without the need for excessive scrubbing which could impact the integrity of the coating.
3. It’s cost-effective
As a solution that is much faster than traditional painting processes, powder coating offers both cost and time savings. It doesn’t require drying time and involves significantly less physical effort because it is sprayed on. The entire process of powder coating occurs at once; the powder is placed and then instantaneously cured, making it ideal for when bulk quantities are required.
4. It’s an environmentally-aware choice
Powder coating is an eco-friendly way to colour and protect a metal object. The coating doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and no solvents are required to help it bond as this happens through the surface electrical charge. Almost all of the dry powder that is sprayed sticks to the metal, meaning any residual powder can be easily cleaned up rather than being left in the atmosphere.
5. It can be tailored to your requirements
Powder coating is available in a range of colours to fit your bespoke requirements. At Siddall and Hilton, we can create unique colours, textures, or finish to ensure you have a product that looks as good as it performs.
