Powder Coating from Ontario Specialists – What Exactly Does that Mean?

For most parts and materials, a good, strong finish is a very important part of the creation process. After all, your products have to be durable, weather-resistant, and, ideally, nice to look at as well. When you’re searching for a stronger coat than simple paint, powder coating in Ontario is usually the answer. But how exactly does the process work, and what makes it better than other finishes?

 

Pre-Treatment

Before beginning the powder coating process, it is essential that the intended surface be entirely clean and dry. Sandblasting or chemical cleaning are the two usual methods of eliminating all unwanted elements from the material’s surface. There are a number of different techniques to the pre-treatment stage, depending on the intended finish and material for the part in question.

Coating

Once the part is ready for the coating, an electrostatic gun is used to apply the powder to the object. The gun then charges the powder before application. For this stage, it is crucial that the object receiving the spray be grounded. The powder is then cured, which means that it is exposed to high temperatures until it has melted evenly, and then is cooled, keeping the powder firmly locked in place. The length, as well as exact temperatures for the curing process vary for different powders and different materials.

Benefits

The chemical reaction that occurs when these powders are cured makes them incredibly strong. Powder coating will protect material against most forms of corrosion, water damage, scratches, and other impact damages as well. While powder coating in Ontario is certainly a more challenging process than simply painting, it is also much tougher. It also tends to look better than paint, since the powder cannot run or drip, and creates a less visible distinction between vertical and horizontal applications.
