Finish 1: Power Coated Steel - Colorado Rust. The powder coating process is very similar to a painting process except that the “paint” is a dry powder rather than a liquid. The powder coating process involves applying electrostatically a coat of colored pigments made from metal powders to the substrate followed by a clear protective coat for abrasion resistance. Our steel substate can tolerate the heat of curing the powder and be electrically grounded to enhance charged particle attachment. The powder flows and cures during the application of heat. Powder coating is recognized as an environmentally friendly process because it doesn't rely on solvents or chemical carriers like traditional wet-paint systems. Because powder coating relies on the electrostatic charge to hold the paint to the work piece, powder coating eliminates VOC emission problems. Our powder coatings are very resistant to cracking and peeling and provide very high abrasion, corrosion and chemical resistance. Powder coatings meets and exceeds the finish performance characteristics of conventional solvent based wet paint coatings. Suitable Applications: Contract & Residential. Content: High Quality Steel.
