In addition to helping you produce and source parts, [JB Laser](/about-jb-laser) can ensure that they hold up better over time. We have in-house resources for powder coating applications, making objects more durable and enhancing their appearance.
Get Durable, Good-Looking Powder Coating for Your Products
Powder coating has a number of significant advantages over liquid coating. These include:
Thicker, Non-Dripping Coats
Powder coatings are much thicker than standard liquid coatings are. They don’t leave the runs, drips, and sags that liquid coatings do either. Instead, you get uniform, attractive surfaces for your products and components. Perhaps best of all, powder coat has unmatched UV protection in comparison to liquid coatings.
Protection Against Corrosion
Powder coatings offer exceptional resistance to deterioration from:
- Extreme heat or cold
- UV Rays
- Wind, rain, or snow
- Wear or stress
More Environmentally Responsible Practices
Powder coatings don’t have any solvents or release many pollutants into the atmosphere. Consequently, they have far less of an impact on the environment than other coating options do.
Powder coating doesn’t just protect your products. It allows you to meet EPA regulations simply and more cost-effectively.
Steps of Powder Coating
The process of powder coating breaks down like this:
Cleaning/Blasting Your Product
We remove any dirt, oil, grease, and other particles from your products' surfaces. In some cases, we might blast these surfaces with grit, crystals, or other abrasives. This helps ensure that the powder will hold once we apply it.
Applying the Powder
Next, we apply the powder coating with an electrostatic gun, which gives the powder an electric charge that keeps it in place.
Curing the Powder
After we’ve applied the powder, we heat it up. This causes it to melt and undergo a chemical reaction that creates a polymer with a cross-linked appearance.
