If you are completely new to Powder Coating, or you just haven’t made it part of your offer to customers yet– now could be the ideal time to add it to your list of services. A traditional “wet paint” method of coating metal and other materials uses solvents (which aren’t exactly environmentally friendly) to allow the paint to be in liquid form when applied. The solvent makes the solids in the paint sticky and it adheres to the surface. The process of Powder Coating uses only the solids (as atomized powder) to be sprayed, which adheres to the surface by electrostatic charge passing through the powder while being sprayed. The over-spray from powder coating is collected and reused – compared to wet spraying which even with a skilled operative can waste up to 50% – which makes Powder Coating a far more cost effective process. We then heat the component covered in the powder in an oven, fusing the powder with the metal. Quality Fabrication and Manufacturing can look brilliant in the natural finish of the metal used, but being able to offer your customers a fast, efficient, colour matched coating service is a great way to boost your sales and open up new customers who need to match an architectural design scheme, product identification, brand colours or simply a robust finish that both protects and offers easier cleaning. If you have any queries about the process, colours, sizes and materials don’t hesitate to ask – there are no daft questions – we are here to help!
