How does Powder Coating Work?
As the name implies, this industrial coating process relies on a consistent powder which coats surfaces for the best coverage and closest bond possible. Our powder coating system relies on resinous materials in combination with a number of additives, including curatives, flow modifiers, pigments for coloring, and more.
While the industrial powder coating process relies on complex combinations and precise measurements for quality results, today’s post will break things down into three easy steps:
1 – Mix the Powder
Based on your industrial powder coating needs, the EPSCO team can order the ideal powder to achieve a range of different results. All of the needed ingredients will be combined through a precise process which melts, mixes, and cools the end material for improved consistency. The final step is to grind the material back into powder for application. Once your custom powder is completed, it’s ready for application with our powder coating professionals. We also offer standard options for faster and more affordable turnarounds.
2 – Apply the Powder
Once they have the right material in-hand, your industrial coating experts will rely on a spray gun to coat the chosen material. Metal surfaces can achieve an ideal bond through electrostatic spray deposition (ESD), which applies a positive charge to the powder. When this powder comes into contact with your grounded equipment, the result is a strong connection ready for heating.
EPSCO Powder and Industrial Coatings of Boise can provide a perfect coating for your equipment. We have the techniques and tools needed for a quality coating that protects your product 360 degrees.
3 – Cook to Cure
The final step is to place the coated product under high heat to cure. Hot temperatures help to create a seamless bond between the surface and powder, connecting at the atomic level. This cooking process results in a finish that is more resistant to impacts, moisture, regular wear and tear, and more.
