Comprising more than 15% of the entire industrial finishing market, more companies prefer powdercoating in Toronto for a durable coat that improves efficiency, maximizes the life-span of gear and serves as an eco-friendly option. Powder coatings can be used both for functional or protective purposes as well as decorative finishes.
With 4 Way Metal’s powdercoating in Toronto, a wide range of tools and equipment can withstand corrosion, damage and wear in any industrial application.
It provides protection for those tools that operate in the toughest conditions in applications that use hard chemicals, high temperatures or are performed under extreme weather conditions. Powdercoated products are more resistant against chemicals, moisture, UV light, impact and other harmful weather conditions like extreme cold.
As such, it reduces or prevents corrosion, abrasion and chipping. The most common process used in powdercoating for metal substrates is electrostatic spray deposition, or ESD. This coating can also be used on non-metallic substrates such as MDF and plastics. Regardless of the application method and substrate, powdercoating is the smart choice for the most efficient and economical operation. Here’s why:
- Lower unit costs - powder coated parts can be placed closer together on conveyors and can go through the production line faster. They also don’t require drying or flash-off time.
- High utilization efficiency - using the right application equipment, recovery methods, and powder materials, powdercoating can realize up to 98% utilization efficiency rate in just one coat application compared with the liquid system.
- Fewer rejection rates - since powdercoating does not drip or sag, so a lot more parts can be coated than with other methods.
- Lower heating costs for ovens - powder coated ovens require lower exhaust than solvent-based coats, reducing heating costs which results in energy savings.
- Minimal operator training - workers prefer to be assigned in a dry powder line because it lacks fumes, produces minimum clothing contamination, and reduces housekeeping issues. They also require less training and supervision.
Powdercoating in Toronto also has the benefit that, with fewer errors and more precision, less scrap is created and your enterprise will see reduced labor and operating costs.
