Today’s consumer is always in search of the most efficient and long-lasting way to complete a project. That’s why many consumers look to powder coating in order to quickly paint their products and save money. But when should you use it?
From our previous blogs, we know that powder coating is a dry powder application applied electrostatically and cured under UV light or heat. Almost anything can be powder coated including most metals, glass, and certain types of wood and plastic. Since the powder coating process uses high temperatures, products that are made of rubber or can otherwise melt are not ideal for powder coating.
Powder coating is perfect for:
- Large quantity orders
- Metal parts less than 6’ long, 42” high by 25” wide
- Motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile, or automobile restoration
- Home appliances such as gas range stoves and mixers
- Outdoor home features such as doors, fences, and statues
- And so much more!
Reconsider powder coating if:
- Your product can not hold the electrostatic charge needed
- Your product might melt at high temperatures
