Powder coating is a dry finishing method. The powder coating process begins with applying dry powder to a metal substrate through an electrostatic process. A specialized gun positively charges the dry powder, allowing the ions to attract themselves to a grounded, negatively charged metal surface. Once the powder is applied, a large oven cures the powder using heat. Parts are immediately ready for use, once removed from the oven. A quick cure time is just one benefit to our powder coating services. In contrast, wet spray painting requires a much longer cure time, from several hours to several days.
