Powder coating application

To make a product free of rust, old paint layers, or mill scale, it should be blasted. Under high pressure, grit is jet-sprayed on the metal so that unwanted layers disappear, and the surface is roughened. This way, the material is ready for a possible follow-up treatment such as the application of metal spraying, powder coating or wet painting. As a result, the material becomes durably protected from rust, dirt, and weather conditions. CP Powder Coatings has a large blast cabin, 15 x 5 x 5 meters, in which large objects can be handled smoothly.

Metal spraying, also called metallisation, is a treatment which is carried out after blast cleaning the material. A metal spraying layer consists of a zinc alloy. This very good but porous layer serves as an ideal protective coating against corrosion. Because this layer is porous, it must always be post-treated with a paint system or powder coating application. The protection provided by the zinc alloy to the steel is a so-called cathodic protection. This means the zinc-aluminium alloy sacrifices itself for the protection of the steel.

Our powder coating application is an electrostatic process in which steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and aluminium are coated by the applicator in any colour and texture. The application of our powder coating is suitable for both indoors and outdoors and is widely applicable. The applied powder and the object are heated in a furnace, therefore the coating is flowing and curing, this creates a scratch-resistant and impact-hard finish on the object.

The advantages of our powder coating application services are:

• Good price-quality ratio
• No use of solvents which are harmful to the environment
• Neat finish
• Great edge coverage
• Faster turnaround compared with liquid coatings

Wet paint is used mainly for products that cannot be powder coated and which have specific requirements. Wet painting is a process in which a liquid paint is applied manually on the product. A wet paint is solvent-borne or water-borne. A water-borne paint uses no organic solvents and water is the carrier of the product. After the application of a paint system, the product should be given time to get rid of the solvent and to cure. This can be done by means of, for example, air drying and baking. This depends on the type of paint which is used. The solid components that remain, form the final protective layer.
