| Powder Coating |
| We can give you the durability of heat-fused powders for metal substrates. Powders are available in many colors and types: polyesters, urethanes, epoxies, etc. Parts can be selectively masked for special applications. |
| |
| How Does Powder Coating Work? |
Powder coating is a dry finishing process. Finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the products to be coated.
The parts to be coated are electrically grounded, so that the charged particles adhere to them until melted and fused into a solid coating in a curing oven.
The result is an attractive, durable, high-quality finish. The powder coating process itself offers another advantage -- it is environmentally friendly...virtually pollution-free!
Unlike liquid paint, no solvents are used, so only negligible amounts of VOCs are released into the air. In addition, unused or oversprayed powder can be recovered, so any waste is minimal and can be disposed of easily and safely. |

| Liquid Coating |
| We can give you the diversity of liquid with a wide range of base compositions, finish properties and textures. Substrates may include metals, plastics and composites. Coatings range from water base and standard bake enamels to polyurethanes, epoxies, and other specialized coatings. |
| |
| RFS (EMI) Coating |
| We can provide protection against electro-magnetic interference by selectively applying nickel, copper or silver to plastic enclosures. |
