Powder Coating for Metal Parts
Powder coating applies a dry, electrostatically charged polymer powder that is heat cured into a continuous, durable film. It gives metal parts a tough colored finish with good corrosion and impact resistance and a wide range of colors and textures.
Specification
Typical options
| Attribute | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Film thickness | ~50–100 µm (2–4 mils) per coat | Thicker builds possible; specify if critical |
| Cure temperature | ~160–200 °C | Substrate must tolerate the cure cycle |
| Gloss and texture | Matte, satin, gloss, textured | Request RAL or sample reference |
| Substrates | Steel, stainless, aluminum | Conductive parts that tolerate heat |
Typical industry ranges for reference. Final thickness, color, and specification are confirmed on your quote and drawing.
Design Tips
What to specify on your drawing
Pre-treatment
Cleaning, conversion coating, or blasting before coating strongly affects adhesion and corrosion life.
Masking
Threads, bores, and grounding points are usually masked or plugged.
Edges and recesses
Sharp edges thin out and deep internal corners can be hard to coat (Faraday cage effect).
Color
Specify a RAL number or provide a physical sample for color approval.
