Powder Coating

Powder coating is the fastest growing finishing technology in North America.

The powder used in the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is electrostatically sprayed onto the surface to be coated. The charged powder is heated and fused into a smooth coating in the curing oven. The result is a beautiful, resistant coating that withstands scratching, chipping, peeling, and fading.
