BENEFITS
Why powder coating is the right choice
When deciding on the finishing method for your products, you need to consider the benefits of each type of finish. We think you’ll agree that there are many advantages to powder coating compared to traditional options, such as liquid paint and lamination.
The seamless finish of powder coating compares favourably to the visible seams of lamination, and with powder coating, there is no risk of peeling. Powder coating is also more durable than liquid paint, and can resist moisture, spills, stains, scratches, and heat.
For MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard), we can handle pieces with contours and rounded edges, which may be a concern with lamination. Powder coated MDF products are well suited for residential, retail and office environments. They make for excellent cabinets, drawers, doors, window trims, desks, wall panels, store fixtures, and more.
The powder coating process does not release any hazardous air pollutants, solvents, or volatile organic compounds, making it much more environmentally friendly than liquid paint.

How it Works
Our powder coating process
There are several steps to our powder coating process. Before powder coating can begin, metal parts must be pre-treated, usually through sandblasting. Once the parts are ready for powder coating, they are hung on the conveyor line. First, they are preheated to ensure the powder will adhere effectively. Next, powder is electrostatically applied by a powder coating spray gun. It is important to control the thickness of the applied powder, as it can affect the final appearance of the finish.
Once the powder coating has been applied, the part next enters the infrared oven to cure the powder. After several minutes in the oven, the process is complete. With our efficient conveyor line system, a single part can be coated and cured in under ten minutes, and it results in a beautiful, durable, seamless finish!
We also have a traditional powder booth and curing oven for parts that would be too large or heavy for our conveyor line.
