Powder Coating gives consumers, businesses, and industry one of the most
economical, longest-lasting, and most color-durable quality finishes available.
Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading,
and wearing than other finishes. Color selection is virtually unlimited with
high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes available. And colors stay
bright and vibrant longer. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a
wrinkled or matte finish, and rough textures designed for hiding surface
imperfections.
Powder coating is also highly protective of our environment. While liquid
finishes contain solvents which have pollutants known as volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), powder coating contains no solvents and releases negligible
amounts, if any, of VOCs into the atmosphere. Thus, there is no longer a need
for finishers to buy costly pollution control equipment. In addition, most
powder coating over spray that does not adhere to the part can be retrieved and
reused, virtually eliminating the waste commonly found in liquid finishing
processes

Our 11-step powder coating process includes:
1. - Hot Alkaline Cleaner
(Removes oils, dirt and impurities)
2. - Clear Water Ring Rinse
(Used to minimize contamination between stages)
3. - Fresh Water Rinse
(Thoroughly rinses off excess cleaner)
4. - Hot Iron Phosphate Coating
(Conversion coating which adds a phosphate protection)
5. - Clear Water Ring Rinse
(Used to minimize contamination between stages)
6. - Fresh Water Rinse
(Thoroughly rinses off excess phosphate)
7. - Chrome-Free Sealer
(Provides sealant to insure phosphate coating integrity)
8. - De-ionized Water Rinse
(Purified rinse removes possible mineral/salt residue from fresh water)
9. - Drying Oven
(To prepare iron for paint application)
10. - Application of T.G.I.C. Polyester Powder Paint
(A durable, weather-resistant finish with a minimum of 5 mil thickness)
11. - Curing Oven
(Final process to insure a hard, durable, long-lasting finish)
