Elevate Your Metal Products with Precision Powder Coating Services
A high-quality powder coating solution not only enhances the aesthetics but also fortifies the durability of your metal components in a way that surpasses traditional paint.
Like any surface finish, best practice powder coating begins long before your product is coated and cured. At Express we supply laser-quality plate with an almost immaculate finish directly from the laser cutting process which often negates the need for abrasive blasing or sandblasting prior to the powder-coating process. A pass through our Lissmac double sided edge-rounding and deburring machine or some time in our media rumbler for smaller parts lays the groundwork for optimal adhesion, longevity, and surface finish.
It’s essential to note that while powder coating enhances durability, it’s not a rust inhibitor on its own. To bolster corrosion resistance, primers tailored to the specific metal substrate should be applied. For aluminium products, a chromate treatment is often used, while zinc-rich primer is applied to steel and cast iron products. This multi-step approach ensures comprehensive protection against corrosion, prolonging the lifespan of your products.
Once the surface is prepped, we move on to the electrostatic powder coating process. Here’s how it works: fine dry powder particles, consisting of resins, pigments, and additives, are electrostatically charged in a spray gun and propelled towards the grounded metal substrate. This electrostatic attraction ensures uniform coverage and adherence to even the most intricate surfaces.
Express Metal Products recommends a large range of colour, texture, and finishes with custom ordered or customer supplied powder regularly considered:
Finally your parts enter the oven so that the surface finish can cure at over 200 degrees Celsius, are allowed to cool, and are carefully packed for delivery or moved into the next post-process.
