5 Advantages of Metal Powder Coating

When it comes to metal finishes, metal powder coating is the best way to get the finished look you want and ensures durability of all metal components on any steel structure.

Metal powder coating is the process we use to electrostatically apply powder to metal and dry it with heat. It’s used on metals including steel and aluminium and is a widely used finish across steel fabrication in sectors including commercial, office, retail, warehousing, industrial and manufacturing.

Here are 5 key benefits of metal powder coating.

Metal power coating is tough and durable

The first major advantage this finish offers is its durability. The process of applying the coating creates a tough outer layer on any structure. As well as being resistant to general wear and tear, it also protects against chips and corrosion and is tougher than what you would get from other finishes. It really does provide unmatched longevity.

It’s better for the planet

As metal powder coating does not require the use of solvents or toxic chemicals, it is a more environmentally friendly way of getting a good finish on metal components. In addition, there’s less waste with metal powder coating as only the powder that is needed is sprayed onto the metal parts. The powder used is classed as safe for use and disposal, meaning it is a better choice for the planet.

Powder coating achieves a consistent finish

Due to the nature of the powder application, the metal does not take on more powder than it needs for a coating. This ensures that the finished products are sleek and uniform and removes the risk of inconsistencies such as paint lines and chipping. Our customers value the uniformity and quality of all our powder coated finished products.

There are many colour options available
