POWDER COATING
Achieve a superior long lasting finish.
What is powder coating?
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a “skin”.
The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as household appliances, aluminium extrusions, and automobile and bicycle parts.
Why choose powder coating?
- Thicker coatings than conventional liquid painting.
- No running or sagging.
- Uniform premium finish.
- Easily coating of complex shapes.
- Metallic, plain or textured finish.
- Corrosion resistance.

SANDBLASTING
Improving surface preparation.
What is sandblasting?
Sandblasting is a general term used to describe the act of propelling very fine bits of material at high-velocity to clean or etch a surface. Sand used to be the most commonly used material, but other materials are now used in its place due to safety measures. Due to the dangers of inhaling dust during the process, sandblasting is carefully controlled, using an alternate air supply, protective wear, and proper ventilation.
Sandblasting is primarily used for cleaning a surface prior to the application of powder coating, but can also be used to etch or carve designs or words into glass or a similar material.
Why choose sandblasting?
- Faster cleaning times.
- Removal of surface imperfections.
- Improve powder coating application.
