Customized powder coating aluminum sheet metal

Powder Coating is a surface treatment used to protect metals and other materials against potentially harmful environmental factors. This coating is applied electrostatically as a free-flowing powder and cured under heat or UV light. It can be applied to any material, but it is commonly used on steel, aluminum, and plastic.
Powder coating differs from traditional liquid paint, which is generally applied using an evaporating solvent. Though it is not as durable as PVD coating due to its thickness, it provides excellent rust prevention, color uniformity and scratch protection.

However, more businesses are switching to powder coating due to its many benefits. Here are a few.
DURABILITY
We’re not really sure why more people don’t use powder coating for their projects instead of paint. It comes with problems like fading and chipping, especially when they come in direct contact with sunlight.
Once your metals have been powder coated, it becomes highly resistant to wear and tear no matter what you put it through. You’ll no longer have problems with chips, scratches, or fading.
Due to its high-resistance capabilities, powder coating is perfect for metals that come in constant contact with sunlight and other environmental factors.
LONGEVITY
A common question we get about powder coating is, “How long does a powder coat finish last?” The answer is roughly about 20 years (depending on some external factors).
Since powder coating increases the durability of your metals, they are easy to maintain. That doesn’t mean they won’t get dirty; dust and other factors can decrease the aesthetic of your metals or prevent them from working.
You’ll only need to scrub your metals with some water, and the metal coating will remain intact. With this easy maintenance, you can use your parts for extended periods without worrying about damaging accumulating.
COST-EFFECTIVE
Whether you’re a business or a homeowner, you’re always looking to cut costs, and that’s where powder coating steps in. Since it has a quick application process, you’ll be able to cut down on labor costs, unlike traditional painting.
Also, powder coating has an extended shelf life, so you’ll be able to store it without any problems. Standard paint can expire, leaving your home or business with a foul smell.
So instead of wasting money buying new paint and doing the whole process over, save yourself the hassle by using powder coating instead.
ECO-FRIENDLY
A big reason why people prefer powder coating over painting is because of its eco-friendliness. Although the powder is sprayed onto a metal part, there aren’t any chemicals involved to make it stick.
The electrical charge makes sure the powder coating sticks, removing the need for solvents and adhesives. Any residual powder can be cleaned up quickly, unlike paint.
Powder coating also doesn’t involve the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). What is a VOC? They are gases that get emitted from certain chemicals we use, such as:

• Paint
• Cleaning products
• Varnishes
• Ink
