Powder Coating

Powder Coating is an advanced yet simple way of spray-painting a very fine, dry plastic powder onto a metal surface.

Key Benefits of Powder Coating are:

• Polyester Powder Coating,
• Duplex Coating,
• Hot Dip Galvanize - Total Corrosion Protection,
• Full Fine Fettle - To create a smooth surface,
• Etch Galvanized Surface - To create key for coating,
• Modern Gas Fired Curing Oven - To give even temperature control throughout oven,
• Special Packaging - For safe transportation of product,
• Transport Savings - One stop metals finishing.
