FAQs about Powder coating
What's the difference between painting and powder coating?
Wet painting:This method uses liquid paint, which includes solvents to maintain the right fluid consistency.
Powder coating:It’s a dry powder applied to the surface. The powder contains resins (usually polyester, polyester-epoxy, acrylic, or polyethylene) and pigments. Note that it doesn’t contain solvents.
Is powder coating more effective than painting?
Wet painting:Requires skilled painters to apply the liquid paint evenly. Curing can happen in an oven or through air drying. It may fade over time but offers flexibility in colour options and easy touch-ups.
Powder coating:Applied using an electrostatic gun, which charges the powder particles and attracts them to the metal surface. Then, the item cures in an oven. It is more durable than wet paint and less likely to chip or scratch.
Can powder coating be done on site?
Yes, we are able to powder coat as part of our end-to-end fabrication process.
Where can I get something powder coated?
JC Metalworks specialise in the fabrication of sheet metal parts. Powder coating is just one of our areas of expertise, for the vast majority of cases it would be a complement to our other services offered.
