Powder coating is a dry finishing process that takes finely ground particles of pigment and resin that are then electrostatically charged and sprayed onto products to be coated. The parts to be coated are grounded so the newly charged particles adhere to them until melted and are then baked into a solid finish in a curing oven.

So why should I powder coat my parts?
Powder coating provides an improved, scratch-resistant finish. It also provides exceptional toughness and durability. Powder coating does not run, chip, or sag, and thus results in lower reject rates.

In addition to a wide range of colors and textures, an almost infinite range of properties can be built into the finish.  Examples include resistance of ultra-violet rays, enhanced durability and better corrosion resistance.

Powder coating is environmentally friendly and virtually pollution-free. Unlike liquid paint, no solvents are used. The result is that only a minimal amount of VOC's, if any, are released into the air. Also, less oven air is exhausted to the outside, making the powder coating process both safer and cleaner.
