WHAT IS POWDER COATING?
|
The WAI Powder Coating System
effectively puts one more durable, simple finishing option within
the reach of anyone who wants it. Powder coating works by
electro statically applying a powder to metal (and some-non-metal)
surfaces. The coated piece is then heated in a standard non-food
prep. electric oven at 400°F for approximate 30 minutes. The
resulting finish looks like paint but is more durable and
scratch-resistant.

Powder coating is the process of electro
statically spraying
pulverized
particles of plastic (usually polyester or polyurethane) onto a
clean
metal substrate (the part to be coated).
|
|
|
The applied powder is then heated (cured) at a temperature of
400°F
peak metal temperature for 10-30 minutes.
|
|
|
Once the part has been cured for the proper time, and is cool to
the
touch, the part is ready to be placed into service.
|
|
|
Powder coating offers superior durability and is very resistant to
corrosion, cracking, UV rays, scratches, grease, and most
chemicals.
|
 |
Powder coating easily turns
unattractive parts, into beautifully
coated works of art!
