Powder Coating
What Is Powder Coating?

The powder coating process uses a solvent free dry mix of plastic resins, pigments and fillers that melt and fuse together when heated. The solid particles of coating are electrostatically charged in a spray gun and carried by low velocity air to the surface of the piece to be coated. The electrostatic charge holds the powder particles in place while the part is cured in a 400-degree oven. The heat of the oven causes a chemical reaction to occur and the powder to cure, creating a highly durable finish. With a large variety of colors, metallics, textures and special effects, Tom TicePowder Coating can assist you in choosing the correct color and coating for your personal application. Special-Order colors are also available for an additional charge. Unlike solvent-based wet paint, you can not change the powder coat. A clear powder coat is recommended to be applied on top of any color you choose, to significantly increase long lasting durability. We'll help you make all the best choices to make your project turn out exactly the way you want.

Powder Coating Is Environmentally Friendly


Powder Coating Every day, you hear about polution and its effect on the environment. A lot of that polution comes from harmful solvents and thinners, used in the wet paint process. Some automotive paints are actually toxic. Metal plating, such as nickel and chrome, use heavy metals that are extremely toxic to the environment. If these solutions leach into the soil or find their way into the water table, the toxic effects can last for years. Powder coating is an environmentally friendly alternative to toxic wet paints and electro plating. With EPA regulations growing even stricter, powder coating is fast becoming the technology of choice. Since the powder coating process does not use solvents in any way, VOC emission problems are eliminated. Powder coating means just what it says: Powder. It is non-toxic and can be used on food service equipment. Once cured, it becomes a tough, weather-resistant coating for motor cycle frames, car chassis, wheels, wrought iron hand rails and other indoor and outdoor furniture and fixtures.
