What is powder coating?
Powder coating is a very popular way to paint iron fences, railings etc., and there are numerous finishes and colors available. powder coating provides a range of advantages over conventional painting methods, and it yields a durable, attractive finish. Powder Coating is a dry finishing process created by an electric charge that causes a dry powder to fuse to the surface of the metal. This is then baked in a curing oven to achieve a smooth coating. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.
What are the benefits of powder coating?
​
Durability
As far as the finish is concerned, powder coating is more durable than most other options. When it cures, the powder will form chemical bonds in the process and creating a flexible, durable finish. Powder coated parts are highly resistant to corrosion, flaking, and scratching.
​
Quality
The powder coating application and drying processes create a finish not found in any other paint product. Because the powder melts and reforms as a solid, it creates a smooth surface without drips or runs. Therefore, there’s no need to sand or refinish if mistakes are made.
​
Maintenance
Powder coating is easy to maintain; no special solvents or cleaners are required. Because these coatings are so resistant to corrosion and damage, there’s no concern over rust and other cleaning-related damage.
