What Is Powder Coating and How Does It Work?
Powder coating is a high-quality, durable finishing process used to protect and enhance metal surfaces. Instead of using liquid paint, this method applies a fine, electrostatically charged powder—typically made of polyester, epoxy, or a hybrid blend—onto the metal. Once applied, the coated piece is cured in an oven, where the powder melts and bonds to the surface, creating a smooth, uniform, and long-lasting finish.
This process offers several advantages over traditional paint, including:
- Superior durability against scratches, fading, corrosion, and wear
- Uniform coating without drips, streaks, or uneven coverage
- Eco-friendly application, as it contains no solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Wide color and texture options, suitable for decorative and industrial applications
