The Advantages of Powder Coating

The advantages of powder coating over conventional painting are too numerous to list in their entirety, however what follows are the more notable . . .

Appearance

Expand your inventory by providing your current products in color or with texture.  Powder coating is available in almost any color available which can easily enhance the appearance of your current line, whether it be metallic vent fan covers or stamped metal toy cars.  Don't fall behind the competition, provide superior products that look superior.

Versatility

With powder coating, your imagination is your only limit.  Apply a textured coating to the handle of an existing product to give it a more reliable grip.  Provide UV coating for outdoor furniture to make your product stand the heat of a Mid-South summer.  The options and applications for powder coating are almost staggering.

Durability

Unlike conventional paints, you never have to worry about pinholes, cracks or crevasses with powder coating.  Every surface of your product is thoroughly covered.  Further, the coatings are scratch resistant, they hold up under harsh chemicals, and some colors resist fading under the hot summer sun.  

Environmental Friendliness

Powder coating meets with F.D.A approval.  It releases virtually no volatile organic compounds into the air.  The disposal methods for powder coating waste, in most states, is the same as non-hazardous waste.  No fumes, no harsh chemical sprays.  It's a simple, baked on finish with little or no harmful chemical emissions.

Cost

All of these benefits are nice, certainly but let's face it, no matter how great powder coating is, it has to conform to the bottom line.  But consider this: it's because of these benefits that powder coating is so cost effective.  By farming out the cost of finishing, we handle all the details.  No more worrying about complying with the E.P.A rules on paints and solvents.  That translates to lower costs to you.

Customer Satisfaction

Above all, powder coating will improve the look and feel of all your products.  They will last longer and resist damage.  This translates into more and more satisfied customers who will sing the praises of your products and continue to purchase them for years to come.
