Anything that can conduct electricity, because powder coating is effectively an electrostaticly applied finish anything that conducts electricity can be powder coated. This means that any metal products can be powder coated. A good rule of thumb would be any metal that can be electrostatically charged and withstand the temperatures of the curing process (400*F or 205* C) can be powder coated.

Yes most definately, although if you haven't galvanised your part yet you might consider our galvanising powder coating option. It is a zinc enriched epoxy powder coating which makes an excellent protective base coat for ferrous metals (steel, iron, etc.). The zinc acts as a sacrificial barrier to galvanic corrosion, protecting the substrate metal.

Powder coating is a far friendlier option for the environment when compared to conventional painting. One of the key advantages powder coating has over other finishing processes is how safe it is for the environment and for the people who work with it. Unlike traditional solvent-based wet paint, powder coating is considered a “green” technology that doesn't generate harmful solvents or airborne pollutants. There is no "chemical waste" generated in the process of powder coating. Unlike other finishes, powder coatings don't contain heavy metals such as cadmium and lead.

Durability. As far as the finish is concerned, powder coating is more durable than most other options. When it cures, the powder will form chemical bonds in the process and creating a flexible, durable finish. Powder coated parts are highly resistant to corrosion, flaking, and scratching.

If proper procedure is followed powder coating can keep its finish for up to 20 years. It is noted for its resistance to chemicals, corrosion and weather. It is important that the item to be powder coated is correctly pre-treated to protect the longevity of the finished product.

Powder coating performs better than any paint with greater resistance to chips and wear as well as scratching less easily. However Powder coating is not indestructible and can be scratched or chipped if it is impacted with enough force or is exposed to sharp objects.Thanks to the application process and the final oven curing it has a mechanically harder finish and also provides better colour retention.

Because our powders are imported our average lead time is about three weeks. We do hold a small stock of powders so it could be less, but quality is worth waiting for is it not?
