Yes. Lab-metal will accept ground during coating. Powder coating of cast metal parts is a rapidly growing process due to environmental problems with solvent based coatings. The powder coating process normally requires the exposure of the metal part to temperatures in the range of 200?C to 218?C.

Yes. Certain Pre-treatment or "out-gassing" is required before coating, but both hot dip and electro galvanized materials can be powder coated.

Rainbow Play Systems starts with a 1/4" steel pipe for all their ladder rungs. These rungs are then either vinyl-dipped or powder coated. The vinyl-dipped rung has a layer of insulation in the form of a commercial grade liquid vinyl and provides a non-slip surface. The powder-coated rung is covered in a special type of powdered paint that is baked into place, not offering any kind of non-slip surface and with time and weather may chip off.

Die cast metals along with extruded and forged metals can be powder coated. If your cast parts are made from a low density metal, we will need to include some additional steps in the prepping process before we can powder coat your cast part.

No. Traditional wet painting is something that can be done at less cost than hiring a professional with a special electro-static painting oven, so many companies choose to offer products that look the same at time of delivery and cost them less. This is not a problem for the first 3 to 5 years, but then the disadvantages of wet paint will start to show, and the re-painting begins.

A powder coated greenhouse has a decorative finish but it is also protected against the elements. A powder coated surface is tougher than a wet paint finish and prevents unsightly surface oxidisation. The polyester powders have high colour and gloss retention. The popular green finish blends in with natural garden surroundings

In order to maintain the high quality finish a powder coated greenhouse can be cleaned regularly. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment. If the greenhouse is in normal urban use a maximum interval of 18 months is recommended. In coastal areas or areas of pollution a greenhouse should be cleaned more frequently. The outside of the greenhouse can be cleaned using a mild detergent in warm water. All surfaces should be cleaned using a soft cloth, a sponge or a natural bristle brush.

No. Traditional wet painting is something that can be done at less cost than hiring a professional with a special electro-static painting oven, so many companies choose to offer products that look the same at time of delivery and cost them less.

In order to realize the maximum life from a powder coated finish, correct periodic cleaning procedures need to be followed. Generally, a mild soap or detergent ruled safe for bare hands should be safe for cleaning of the coating surface. Further information on cleaning and maintenance of organic coatings may be found in the AAMA publication 609 & 610-02.

A wide range of metals including aluminium, stainless and mild steel can be pre-treated and coated including complex fabrications.

We are capable of painting metal parts or parts that are conductive and can withstand temperatures of up to 400?F degrees (Or 205?C).

Remove all plastic, rubber, wood & excess oil or grease from your items. Parts are cured at 400 degrees. We prep your items, coat them, and have them ready for you to pick up on your appointed completion date.

Powder coatings are very flexible, and can flex with the metal as the spring, coils and recoils to its stationary position. Also epoxy, acrylic and hybrid powders provide excellent adhesion and hard-ness for improved resistance to chipping, abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals; and it’s flexible enough to be formable without cracking.

Powder is being applied to medium density fiberboard (MDF) used in furniture, cabinetry, speaker cabinets, etc. with successful results. Wood itself can be powder coated, but the temperature that is required to cure the powder would pull the moisture out of the wood, leaving a grainy finish. Appling powder coating to wood products is not practical or recommended that is time. New powders are under development and in the near future wood and even some plastics will be getting a coat of powder.

Both the gold and the gold/silver alloy are applied using a vacuum vapor deposition process referred to as sputtering.

Parts made from aluminum, steel, brass, copper, bronze, magnesium and titanium can be powder coated. Magnesium and Aluminum Castings may experience out-gassing causing bubbles in the finish.

All paint booths come standard with the 18-gauge galvanized steel finish. Powder coating is available for an extra charge and will generally add 1 – 2 weeks to the lead time. Finish Pro offers fire suppression systems, with installation, for all of the paint booths we supply. Just ask your sales representative to add fire suppression to your quote. (In order to provide an accurate quote, we will need to know exactly how the exhaust duct will be configured.
