About Tuff Powder Coating
About
Powder coating is a great finish that helps increase the durability and lifespan of the products. Our metal products are powder coated through a rigorous process to ensure the highest quality standards. Powder coating is applied as a dry powder through an electrostatic process, then cured with heat. It is well known for providing high-quality finishes in terms of both functionality and overall look.
SUMMARY
As its name implies, electrostatic coating harnesses the power of static electricity to adhere paint or coating particles to metal. In this coating process, aerosolized particles of a liquid paint get positively charged as they are sprayed onto a negatively charged metal surface.
The Process
Electrostatic coatings use a multi-stage process to apply fluoropolymers to a particular metal object with the help of electricity. The item to be coated is charged using a special machine, which creates a static field on the surface. Then, a dry blend of fluoropolymers is sprayed. These tiny particles are pulled strongly into the static current, forcing them to cling to the target. A thin layer of these particles is applied evenly across the entire surface. Once the surface is completely covered with the powder, the item is sent through an oven which causes the polymers to melt and bond together. As it cools, it forms the solid, durable layer that we have come to appreciate as a powder-coated surface.
Why Should I Care?
Great, we understand you might be skeptical when it comes to some industry jargon and confusing terms. Let’s bring it back down to earth. Powder Coated Products are much more durable and last much longer as compared to products without them.
