A common question that powder coating services providers get is: what are the benefits of powder coating? It’s simple to answer; when you take into account the myriad of benefits that powder coating has to offer, it’s very easy to see why businesses choose this process over other options. 

Whether you’re looking to get your product or service noticed, or you just want to ensure your customers have a positive experience with your company, powder coating has everything you need and more. Here are some benefits that this process offers.

Durability

Powder coating is a durable coating that can be applied to a variety of materials. Unlike liquid paint, which coats the surface with a heavy wet coat and remains vulnerable to scratching and other damage, powder coating is applied dry. 

As a result, powder coatings are more scratch resistant and more impact resistant than liquid paints. Powder coated surfaces often have a much smoother feel because of this added layer of protection. Plus, these types of paints also hold up better in moist conditions such as industrial settings that are rich in chlorides or sulphuric acid because they form thicker films on the material’s surface (since liquid paint will chemically react with these substances).

Flexibility in Colours

Adding colour to the surface helps keep your car looking fresh and makes it easier to customize the look and feel of your vehicle. You can also choose a colour that fits with your current or upcoming vehicle makeover, giving you an extra sense of pride in your customized ride. 

There is a very wide range of colours that are available, as well as many shades within those colours, so you will find a perfect match for any vehicle without much hassle. If there is an odd-shaped design on your car or truck which doesn’t work with a wrap like vinyl or paint, but still want some design features added to it, powder coating is perfect for this type of application too.

Cost Saving

What is the cheapest way to coat your metal parts? The answer depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you want a simple, smooth-looking finish, aluminium foil and liquid gloss works well. 

If you want a more weather resistant and abrasion resistant coating, then spray can paint is a good option. If you are looking for something that provides better rust resistance, less oxidation and easy peel-off in the future then powder coating may be worth considering. 

Powder coating not only saves you money up front because it typically costs just pennies per square foot in raw material costs but because there is no need for any additional finishing steps like painting or anodizing it will save you time when preparing products for sale too.

Easy Application

Powder coating makes the application process easier than traditional paint. With traditional paint, you need to prime the surface before application and then you will have to apply several coats. 

It is much easier with powder coating because all that is needed for a coat is one scoop of powder, heated in an oven until it becomes liquid, and then applied directly to the surface. It dries fast as well (typically in less than 15 minutes) which means that your wait time between applications is significantly reduced. In some cases, no primer or base coat may be needed at all depending on the colour chosen and how chemically sensitive it may be; most white paints do not require either type of base coat.

Environmental Friendly

Powder coating is a remarkably eco-friendly process. Unlike its counterpart, liquid painting, powder coating does not use any harsh chemicals and instead utilizes air and heat to produce the finished product. 

This means less hazardous waste for disposal for business owners in Austin and beyond. Moreover, because the number of solvents in this type of paint is much lower than in traditional paints, it’s safer for everyone that comes into contact with it – operators, technicians, clients and end users alike.

Powder coated items are also easier to recycle because they can be melted down into new paints that can be used again without fear of toxicity issues.

Conclusion

Powder coating offers a great variety of benefits, from keeping the metal in excellent condition to ensuring your product is safe for consumers. Whether you’re looking to take care of the metal or keep the environment clean, power coating does indeed give you an all-in-one solution.
