Thermoplastic Powder Coating
Your One-Stop Shop for all your coating needs
If your project requires high performance with a coating thickness greater than 8 mils, you will want to explore thermoplastic powder coating options. Thermoplastic powder coating offers better salt spray performance, UV resistance, and better impact resistance. Thermoplastic powder coating is tough enough for long-lasting performance in a wide variety of applications, including all sorts of wire products, pulleys, sprockets, outdoor furniture, light poles, signposts, playground equipment, railings and stairways, fencing panels, bike racks, cable grids, battery trays, perforated steel and more.
Prior to the application of powder, raw parts are typically washed in a balanced wash process which applies pre-treatment chemistry to the metal surface to ensure superior adhesion and a highly uniform finish that meets rigorous testing standards. In our thermoplastic powder coating process, your parts are preheated for a few minutes to allow them to reach a temperature that will melt the thermoplastic powder into a smooth and continuous film. Preheated parts are dipped into a bed of fluidized powder for a set period of time depending on the desired mil thickness of the coating. Once coated, the parts then pass through a second oven for final curing.
The Coating Methods, Inc. fluidized bed process allows our shop to handle an array of parts in all shapes and sizes. Thermoplastic color charts are available in our office for your reference. This process is ideal for high volume orders. Contact our coating specialists today to learn more about our thermoplastic powder coating capabilities.
