Powder Coating Melbourne For Giving Metals A Better Look

Powder Coating Melbourne

Powder coating is used to put a protective layer on especially metal appliances. It also beautifies the appliance. Powder coating is available in a huge variety of colours. Sometimes a single application of these multi colored metallic powders is enough, and then another coat of clear powder is put on the surface for the betterment of the finish. These environment friendly coatings do not depend on any solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form like any other traditional paints. This basically comes in a spray form. The colour is sprayed through a gun to the metallic surface and when dries up it forms a proper coating. Power coating is mainly applied on metal bodies like household appliances, aluminium extrusions such as aluminium toolboxes, auto mobile and bicycle parts.

The main formula behind the extra ordinary appearance of the coating is the presence of metal flake or mica particulate. Both of them are independent components and these coatings are mixed with coloured powder and popularly known as dry blended powder. After power coating the metal it has to be directly kept inside the oven with 200 degrees, if the temperature remains less for any reason then the desired texture cannot be obtained.

The colour consistency is a major issue with the dry blended powder. Another problem is that the colours in the areas with gapping do not penetrate properly and they are also very difficult to be recycled. It is mainly utilized to give a hard finish to the metal body which is way tougher than the traditional one.

The procedure of powder coating is easier and consumes less time. It provides a lot more advantages than the usual paints. The coat is also very thick in nature which offers a better external protection to the metallic body. These spray guns are the magic sticks which can easily change the appearance of your dull metallic appliance into an attractive one.

The automotive industry has adopted this technique rapidly and the usage of this powder coating is anticipated to grow further in the furniture and appliance market. The IT and telecommunication industry is also not lagging behind in this market.
