FAQ
Powder coating is a type of coating that isapplied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, itdoes not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquidsuspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is thencured under heat to allow it to flow and form a “skin”.It is used for bothfunctional and decorative finishes.
Sandblasting is a process where fine granular sandis applied using high pressure against a surface in order to clean or etch it. Sandblasting is often used to remove rust or old paint from an object, or toprepare a surface for a new finish
Powder coating can be appliedto virtuallyany metal that can hold an electrostatic charge and withstand theheat of the curing process. This includes, but is not limited to, aluminum,steel, and iron.
Sandblasting can be used on avariety of materials, including metal, wood, glass, and concrete. However, it’scrucial to use the correct type of abrasive and pressure to prevent damageto the material.
Yes, powder coating isconsidered more environmentally friendlythan traditional liquid paintbecause it doesn’t contain solvents and doesn’t release volatile organiccompounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere.
To care for a powdercoated item, it’s best to clean it regularlywith a mild soap and water. Avoidusing harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage thecoating.
