Powder Coating is the current and modern way of surface finishing which, unlike the traditional wet paints, uses dry method of coating items or surfaces. The process basically involves placing the powder coated surface in an oven, then subjected to heat until it reaches its melting point. The finish is really impressive and very attractive and the layer it creates is so sturdy which is actually highly resistant from corrosion, abrasion and scratches unlike any other conventional wet paints.
Moreover, electrostatic coating is also applied in this process. This actually commences application by putting the powder into the target area with the use of tribo or charging guns. A container is placed at the bottom with air cavity where it is filled with powder for sticking pre-heated coat to the surface which is to be applied with the powder.
Moreover, the end finish greatly depends on the preparation of the surface. Preparation of the substrate or layer is vital in order to produce a quality coat. The surface or product which is to be coated must be free from oil traces, lubricants and dirt particles. This is the primary step towards achieving a successful and high quality finish. It is important to thoroughly clean the area and make sure that no chemicals or any particles are present to avoid uneven coat. If correct preparation is not done, the quality of your finish might be negatively affected.
Additionally, there are different methods you can choose from to clean any stains or particles present on the surface area. Cleaning techniques may vary from the type and amount of actual stains but one of the common methods is sandblasting. You can apply sandblasting on wooden, plastic and glass surfaces while silicon carbide grit can be used for non-metal surfaces. Also, a cast steel shot is used for steel surface areas prior to actual application of powder.
The powders utilized in this type of coating approach are basically made of finely ground particles and resin. Once the particles are charged, it will adhere to the electrically ground areas of the surface when heat is applied.
