At DS Custom Toolboxes, we recommend powder coating Melbourne for all your metal appliances and objects. It is important to understand that it is far more beneficial than wet paint. To explain the process of application of it in short, it is applied as a free flowing dry powder, the coating is commonly applied electro statically and then it is allowed to form an outer skin. It is mainly used to form a tougher outer covering that is much more sustainable than normal paint.
Powder coating is a very efficient and advantageous alternative to wet paint. It provides better shielding effect to different climate conditions. It prevents the metal object from getting rusted. It does require a solvent like conventional paint and hence it is very easy to apply and does not run or sag like normal paint. For the creative people out there they can have various special effects and colour combinations with the use of it. It lasts longer than normal paint as it is more resistant to wear and tear. The overspray used in the coating process can be used again and hence it cost effective.
Powder coating is available in two main types:
- Thermosets
- Thermoplastics
The thermosetting variety uses the cross-linker formula. When the powder is baked it reacts with the chemical groups in the powder to polymerize improving the performance of elements. In the thermoplastic variety the powder does not undergo any additional changes during the baking process, but rather flows out into the final coating.
It has numerous other benefits and is used by many industries as it gives more durable, longer lasting and colour durable finish. It is very economic to use powder instead of wet paint. It is also environment friendly to add to the many benefits of it and the most important factor it saves money. Thus, choose powder coating for all your metal objects and appliances.
