How sustainable and high-performance are the powder coatings?
In addition to a high-quality appearance, we offer an environmentally friendly process that does not use solvents or heavy metals. Our coatings are characterised by high abrasion resistance, mechanical resilience and excellent corrosion protection. They also offer a good insulation value and allow a choice of different gloss levels and an unlimited variety of colours.
What dimensions can be powder-coated?
Our modern plant technology allows us to coat products with impressive parameters. We can process parts with a length of up to 6 metres, a width of up to 1.80 metres and a height of up to 1.80 metres. Even a piece weight of up to 250 kilograms is no problem for us, and individual dimensions can easily be exceeded thanks to inclined or diagonal guidance.
What are the most common mistakes in powder coating?
Many manufacturers now offer metal and furniture with a powder coating. What is the difference? Many powder coatings are available at favourable prices, but often in inferior quality. If powder coating is applied incorrectly, the following defects can occur:
- Powder coatings that are too thin or too thick (visible show-through or coarse surface structure "orange peel")
- Bead and edge formation (strong layer build-up at edges, "frame effect")
- Surface defects due to electrical recoils ("ice flower effect", small explosions or craters)
- Unreached, hard-to-reach areas (uneven layer in corners and cavities, "Faraday effect")
- Colour contamination and other soiling (particles of a different colour, lubricants or residues)
- Surface bubbles due to outgassing (often occur when workpieces are heated)
If you are aiming for a high-quality look, you should look for high-quality powder coatings and ask the manufacturer for references if necessary.
