We use proven processes developed over years in the industry to deliver a superior finished product. We also maximize resource consumption at every stage to help keep your production costs low.
POWDER COATING
The Finish That Lasts
Blasting
- Blasting is a cost-effective technique for preparing surfaces for a smooth finish and strong bond. We use professional abrasives blasting to remove anything that could interfere with the powder coating process, including rust, oil, welding ash, laser scale, mill scale, and more.
Masking
- If your products have threads, holes, studs, machined parts or other areas you want to keep clear of powder during coating. We provide precision masking services you can add to your powder coating procedure.
Pre-Treatment
- Pretreatment cleans and prepares your surfaces to ensure your primers and powders make an effective bond with your metal surfaces. Pretreatment is a powder coating cleaning process, designed to prepare surfaces through the application of various treatments. Together, these treatments make sure your surfaces are free from residue and enhances them for a better appearance and lasting durability.
Primers
- Primers provide a layer of protection for your products and help strengthen the bond with your powder coat. The powder coating primer process adds enhanced resistance to corrosion and is the perfect addition for metal surfaces destined for outdoor applications.
Coating
- We combine our industry expertise with the latest technology to deliver superior adhesion for your selected powder coat. We deliver a positive electrostatic charge to your powders before loading them into our spraying system and ground your metal surfaces for an opposite charge.
ELECTROPLATING
Bonding Metals
Metal Finishes
- A wide range of metals including, zinc plating, gold plating, palladium plating, silver plating, nickel plating, copper plating, chrome plating
Factors Affecting Electroplating Finishes
Electrochemical deposition is diverse and has many applications, but it may not always go according to plan. Several factors can determine how well plating occurs. Here are a few of them:
- Bath Conditions
- Temperature
- Substrate Surface Finish
- Plating Time
Limitations of Electroplating
Electroplating is an intricate process that involves the molecular behavior of metals. Therefore and like any other engineering process, it has its limitations as discussed next:
- Substrate Material Compatibility
- Uniformity Challenges
- High Costs
- Environmental
