POWDER COATING BENEFITS

POWER COATING VS PAINTING?

During powder coating, a special spray gun is used that delivers an electrostatic charge to the powdered particles passing through the gun. Those particles are then attracted to the grounded part, creating an even, smooth finish, even in the tiniest of crevices. The part is then cured in an oven, which melts and cross-links the powder over the surface, creating a tough, scratch-resistant finish. This process delivers thicker coatings than traditional liquid paint processes, and all without running.
A LOOK AT SUPER VAC’S POWDER COATING SERVICES

There’s nothing more turn-key than a part that goes from raw metal to powder finish — and all in one factory.

STEP 1 the component is prepped

To ensure the part is void of any oils and solvents before powder coating, the component is put through a two-part bath — a CrysCoat 747 wash that prepares aluminum, steel and other metals for powder coating, followed by a water bath to thoroughly rinse the part. The component is then dried in the oven before moving to powder coating.

STEP 2 POWDER COATING BEGINS

Super Vac’s powder coating bay features two booths — one dedicated to Hammer Tone Red (a customer-favorite color) and another offering an array of powder coat color options. An electrostatic charge passes through the spray gun, attracting the powder to the grounded part for a uniform finish.

STEP 3 THE powder coat IS CURED

Once powder coated, the component is then cured at 350°F for 15 minutes or longer, depending on the metal and coating thickness. This step turns dry powder into a seamless film with heat. Once the part has cured, it cools and then can be readied for shipping or assembly.

POWDER COATING RESIN OPTIONS

POLYESTER POWDER COATING

Super Vac offers a polyester-based powder, ideal for exterior exposure and UV resistance. Polyester powders also can be cured at lower temperatures, which is better for sensitive components. Additionally, polyester resins are available in an enormous range of colors and gloss finishes, including high gloss. Polyester is the common first choice in powder coating.

EPOXY POWDER COATING

For arguably one of the best chemical- and corrosion-resistant powders, customers can opt for epoxy powder coating. Epoxies adhere well to pre-treated components, including sandblasted and phosphate-coated metals; however, it’s important to note these powders don’t weather well, resulting in fading and chalking in the sun, making this resin ideal for indoor applications.

ACRYLIC POWDER COATING

Acrylic resins are typically used in the automotive industry, creating a smooth clear-coat, chip-resistant finish. Acrylic resins can be used as an additive to polyester resins to improve coating flow and chemical resistance. Like polyester resins, acrylic powder coating offers good weather resistance.
