Powder coating

Powder coating is a dry finishing process in which polyester powder is applied to a product using an electrostatic gun, after which it is cured in an oven. Powder coating is available in solid colours, metallic and textured finishes.

Powder coating benefits include:

  • Durable – more durable than liquid coatings with minimal colour fade
  • Corrosion resistant – resistant to corrosion, making products suitable for outdoor applications
  • Heat resistant – can withstand high temperatures so adds protection against heat
  • Chemical resistant – resistant to chemicals, improving products suitability for use in harsh environments
  • Low maintenance – cost effective for long-term use
  • Environmentally friendly – does not contain solvents or VOCs (volatile organic compounds)

Wet spray

Wet spray paint is applied to a product using a spray gun. Usually, the paint dries at room temperature. The choice of colours and finishes is extensive.

Wet spray benefits include:

  • Cost – economical finish
  • Easy application – requires no additional treatment
  • Variety – extensive choice of colours and finishes

We offer you a wide range of colours and finishes, able to match almost any colour or finish.
