Powder Coating
From cost of equipment, to surface area covered per dollar of material applied, the costs of powder coating are comparable to those of liquid coating. However, there are distinct advantages to powder coating when compared to solvent-laden liquid coating:
• Powder coating material is received by the applicator in a ready-to-use state, eliminating any variable in mixing.
• No solvents are used, eliminating the need for expensive air pollution control equipment, virtually eliminating any fire hazard as might be expected.
• With the use of a powder recovery system, overspray can be collected for reuse.
• A 0.001 to 0.003 mil thickness will be obtained in one powder application. Wet spray may require 2-3 coats to attain this thickness.
• Powder coatings are cured at elevated temperatures (3000F to 4500F) as compared to wet coatings, resulting in a tougher, more chip-resistant coating.
Powder coating provides attractive, durable finishes that add value to any product. Aluminum, steel, cast, and other materials are all candidates for powder coating. Our in-house powder coating experts will advise you on your best choice for efficient and cost-effective coatings.
Light fixtures progress toward the proprietary powder coating installation. Light fixtures enter a drying oven, then leave to form a long line of product ready for removal and movement to the assembly area.
