What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a dry finishing process that involves applying a fine powder to a metal surface. This powder is made from a mixture of resin and pigment, which, when heated in an oven, melts and cures to form a hard, protective layer. Unlike traditional liquid paint, powder coating does not require solvents, making it more environmentally friendly and producing fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

How Does Powder Coating Work?

The powder coating process begins with surface preparation, which is crucial for achieving optimal adhesion and a smooth finish. At RJ Metal, we meticulously clean and prepare the metal surfaces to remove any contaminants, rust, or old paint. After preparation, the powder is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the metal surface. The charged particles adhere to the surface, creating an even coating.

Once coated, the metal piece is placed in an oven where the heat causes the powder to melt and flow into a smooth film. This curing process not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides significant protection against corrosion, UV rays, and abrasions. The result is a durable finish that can withstand the elements and maintain its vibrant colors for years.
