What is Powder Coating?

A durable, dry finishing process

Powder coating has become extremely popular since its introduction in North America over 40 years ago. It is now used on a variety of products, including industrial equipment, outdoor furniture, fences and gates, and automobiles. Companies choose powder coating when they need a high-quality, durable finish. It is also available in an almost limitless range of colors.

Powder coating is a dry finishing process that adds superior durability to a finished product. The product is thoroughly cleaned, most often by sandblasting. A spray gun electrostatically charges the powder particles, attracting them to the grounded product. After application, the product is heated in an oven at temperatures ranging from 320 to 410 degrees, depending on the powder used.
