The Powder Coating Process
1. Parts Preparation: Parts are inspected and inventoried and any imperfections are removed.
2. Cleaning: Parts are moved to our pretreatment and cleaning area, where they are washed with a hot high-pressure washer.
3. Iron Phosphate: Once cleaned, the parts are iron phosphated to provide an etched surface for the powder to adhere to. Thus, providing a superior bond between the powder and the metal.
4. Dry Off: After cleaning and iron phosphating the parts are rolled into one of our ovens to dry.
5. Powder Coating: Once the parts are dry they are transferred to the powder booth where powder is electrostatically applied to the parts.
6. Powder Cure: Now that the parts are dusted with powder they are baked in one of our ovens until they are cured.
7. Packaging: Once cooled, the finished product is then wrapped and packaged ready for shipment.
Through our ability to change colors quickly, we are able to efficiently accommodate high
production or prototype one piece runs with large or small parts without any problem. Oven sizes to 8' x 8' x 26'. Masking of parts prior to powder coating is available. We also have hundreds of colors to choose from and rush orders are easily accommodated.
