Powder Coating

What is Powder Coating?

The Powder Coating Process

Powder coating is a popular method of painting structures and elements made of metal. This method of painting is often called dry painting because – unlike the traditional method – no water is used.

The innovative powder coating technology involves applying paint to metal elements and structures in the form of powder with appropriate physicochemical properties.

The paint, in the form of powder, is applied by electrostatic or electrokinetic spraying. The metal element is grounded and the electrostatically charged powder quickly attaches to its surface. Various types of powder paints can be used during painting, e.g. polyester, polyester-epoxy or epoxy.

The coating applied to the metal is then hardened in a special oven.

Powder coating: finishes

We can offer a wide range of colours, gloss levels and textures from our extensive stock of high quality powders manufactured by the World’s leading powder manufacturers.

We are also approved applicators of the Akzo Nobel P660/D36 Duplex and Triplex Coating System where a guarantee can be issued on approved components.

Most powders in stock are Polyester which have excellent exterior durability and colour retention properties.

Powder coating: applications

Automatic reciprocators

At Custom Wytelyne we use the Rolls-Royce of Automatic Reciprocators, manufactured by Gema.

These sophisticated units ensure a consistent and even coating on components up to 6 metres in length. Our automated system enables large quantities of components to be either coated simultaneously or in sequence dramatically reducing the time required to produce the finished article.

Manual spraying

For smaller items, smaller production runs or complicated assemblies we have the facility to manually spray the items. Whilst being a more economical approach this still ensures a superior quality finish and guarantees the high standards our clients’ demand of us.

Powder Coatings are perhaps one of the most environmentally friendly finishes currently available to industry. No matter which coating system we use, all the overspray is reclaimed and recycled to maintain our commitment to the environment.

Our extensive, well-equipped facility features all the necessary pre-treatment systems together with the latest application equipment and curing solutions to guarantee the long lasting, hard wearing results our customers demand.

From single items through to large batches, whatever our clients requirements are, we deliver a high quality, durable finish at the most competitive prices.

We back this up with a team of people that are dedicated to providing the most friendly, professional and flexible service possible for all our customers.
