Powder Coating
Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to a wide range of materials and products. Industrial, commercial and consumer clients all use powder coated products regularly. The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin. We spray this mixture on the product surface after taking measures to protect threads, machined surfaces, and ornate details. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high quality and attractive finish that is up to 10 times more durable than ordinary paint. In contrast to traditional liquid paint, this means that a powder coated finish is extremely resistant to chips, scratches, abrasion, heat past 200 degrees, as well as protection against UV light. Powder coating also eliminates runs, drips, and sags which are common with painted finishes. Powder coat also has a superior corrosion resistance which are difficult to achieve with other coating methods.
The powders from our vendors are very versatile to accommodate many applications. We offer standard and popular powders, as well as metallic and specialty powders – weather & UV resistant, anti-graffiti, candy, glitter, fluorescent, hammertones, antique/vein and designer finishes, as well as O.E.M match colors.
Cerakote
Cerakoting is a ceramic-based finish that is applied to various surfaces, including firearms, knives, and even automobile parts. More OEM, aftermarket, and custom shops choose Cerakote for its industry-leading performance attributes. Cerakote started as a business developing and manufacturing automotive high-temperature coatings and has developed its reputation as the highest quality standard ceramic-based coating in the world. Cerakote’s unique properties allows for new solutions to old industry problems. Let’s look at some of the market segments you can expect to see Cerakote in.
One of the biggest advantages of Cerakote is its durability. It forms a tough and protective layer that can withstand wear, scratches, and even chemical exposure. This makes it perfect for items that are subjected to rough handling or harsh environments. Plus, it’s also highly resistant to heat, which is great for applications that involve high temperatures, like exhaust systems or firearm barrels. Cerakote encapsulates the heat and can help lower temps and keep things cooler. The difference between Cerakote and powder coat. While both are durable coatings, they have different applications. Cerakote is specifically designed for smaller items and surfaces that require precision and detail, like firearms and small accessories. On the other hand, powder coat is typically used for larger objects and metal surfaces, offering a thicker and more heavy-duty coating. Powder coat is commonly used on things like car frames, outdoor furniture, or industry machinery.
Sandblasting
This is a generic term for media blasting. Media blasting is the term used for ejecting differing medias at the surface of a part under high pressure. Typically gernet, aluminum oxide, crushed glass, and in some cases iron grit are used. Most sandblast media will not only remove any existing paint, powder coating and rust/corrosion, but will also etch the surface. This etch is also called anchor tooth and sometimes referred to leaving a “hill & valley” in the surface being blasted and is vital in the adhesion of the powder coat to the substrate of the part.
