No. There are many materials that simply would not survive the high temperatures involved in the powder coating process. Each part must be baked after it has been painted, which exposes it to temperatures in excess of 300 degrees. Wood, plastic, rubber and many other such materials would melt or burn away. Because of this, the part should be constructed with electrically conductive metal.

Powder coat is a mixture of paint and a formulated powder which is heated to form an enamel to avoid rusting and chipping.

While it is possible to remove wet spray from parts prior to coating, the correct way to ensure quality is to ship us cleanly manufactured metal parts. However, it is sometimes possible to paint right over the old layer, but only if we can get an electrostatic charge through the paint and to the base metal itself. Each part poses different challenges. We cannot determine what work will be involved until we have seen the part and made a careful analysis.

We use both, as each has a distinctive advantage over the other, as well as certain inherent characteristics that make them ideal for different types of wheels. Many times the refinishing process will require both.

Yes. But if there is an excessive build-up of paint, we will be unable to bring a static charge to the metal. Because of this, most parts require stripping or sandblasting to remove old paint. In order to ensure quality, we recommend that only freshly manufactured metals are sent in.

Powder coating affords a superior finish for the harsh environment of higher altitudes where ultra-violet light affects ordinary liquid paint. Powder Coating is a finish which is cured in high temperature ovens and fuses the finish to the surface of the GalXC™ steel, acting like an armor coat. Powder Coating is an environmentally-friendly and safe process which provides an attractive, durable and maintenance-free appearance.

Almost every design palette is catered for with a wide range of colours, finishes and textures and the system can be applied to a variety of surface finishes and fabrications. Why don't you view our 'NK Colour Palette' on the spec generator to view the colours, or contact our sales team to assist on your requirements.

CGI outsources our powder coating requirements. We utilize a very reputable finisher in the area that is at our facility daily delivering finished sheet metal components and assemblies.

No. I don't have the time (or room) to handle this so I farm it out a local outfit that does a very good work.

No, because one of the steps in powder coating requires the substrate (part) to be cleaned usually by media blasting, this removes all existing finishes.

Your substrate (part) which has chrome already on it will need to be media blasted to remove the top layer of chrome off. This will leave the copper and nickel coatings on the substrate (part). The coatings that are left on the substrate (part) are ok to be powder coat over, but we will need to pre-bake the part to make sure the coatings are stable. If the pre-bake cycle doesn’t blister the copper and nickel coatings we will then put the powder on.

We can accommodate any piece that can fit in our oven which is 15ft. deep 6ft. wide and 7ft. high. We do many car frames, gates, etc.

Powder coating lead times vary depending on the volume /size / type of material. Generally the process of powder coating takes approximately half a day, though consideration must be taken on the time of year and how much demand there is within the industry. Contact us at the early stage in the planning process so that we can advise you on suitable methods of design and fabrication. Many delays are caused by inappropriate design and a lack of understanding of the powder coating process.

E-Tech Powder Coating uses a powder measurement tool for a non-destructive test to assure that the correct amount of powder has been applied prior to the curing process.

Powder-coating is a "dry paint" application process in which finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostically charged and sprayed onto a surface, which is then baked-on (cured) to set the coating. The advantage of powder-coating is that it is substantially thicker and therefore more durable, that a "wet paint" coating.

Yes! In general, more coating is better than less. Parts subjected to harsh environments, such as direct UV light (sunlight) or aggressive aquatic or chemical exposure should be coated with a powder suitable for these environments. We will help you determine the right solution!

EZorb Powder can be mixed with juice or water. If you use water there's a little taste. Most people use juice. There's no need to use a full glass of water or juice. A quarter of glass is enough. The only reason you use water or juice is to get the powder down easier.

We use the engine Enhancer/Protector to restore the Powder Coat. You spray it on a clean engine, and simply leave it. Then wipe off any chrome or aluminum.

Yes, we offer outdoor sandblasting and indoor cabinet blasting services as well as high pressure steam cleaning to prepare parts for powder coating.

Our frames are finished with an advanced multi-step powder coat process. Powder coat refers to a coating process where raw powdered plastic is fused onto the aluminum frames in an oven. All frames go through a chemical wash, epoxy primer coat, curing, polyester topcoat, and re-curing. The 400° curing oven melts the plastic to effectively encase the frames in a nylon and polyester coating making them impervious to corrosion.

one of the fastest growing finishing technologies in the world, powder coating is also extremely cost ? effective when set against labour intensive traditional liquid coatings. This modern surface coating system is a high quality finish application that is extremely decorative and more resistant to chemicals, chipping, peeling and wearing than other finishes.

ANSI # 49 gray is the standard color for painting regulators. A few other colors may be specified. Refer to OED II, Section 3 Page 3.Paint for the colors and the List price extra.

Yes! However, each application is unique, may require special preparation and requires pre-planning. Call us for details.

I like a satin look, so I use a satin spray like Krylon; be sure to cover the entire sized surface. Follow manufacturer's directions. If you want a tinted look, amber shellac works well and can be brushed on.

That's not a preist, that's Crimson Christian, from a comic written, drawn, and self-published by Matt Williams, I just borrowed him for a crossover for an escuse to have someone quote from Army of Darkness occasionally.

White coat hypertension is defined as an increased blood pressure measurement that results from various influences in the professional environment, for example patient anxiety. Back to Top

Yes. The Jacob Javits Center will operate a coat check open to all exhibitors and attendees. BACK TO TOP
