What Is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a method of applying a durable, protective finish to metal surfaces. Unlike traditional liquid paint, powder coating uses a dry powder that is electrostatically charged and then cured under heat. This process creates a tough, long-lasting layer that resists chipping, scratching, and corrosion. It is an environmentally friendly solution that produces minimal waste and offers countless customization options in terms of colors, effects, and textures.
Why Choose AMS for Powder Coating?
At AMS, we go above and beyond to ensure our powder coating process delivers unparalleled quality. Here are some reasons why our services are unmatched:
Industry Expertise With decades of experience, we have perfected our powder coating techniques. Our team understands the importance of preparation, precision, and quality control, ensuring every project exceeds expectations.
- Advanced Process We start with a high-quality phosphate wash to thoroughly clean and prepare the metal. This critical step ensures optimal paint adhesion. Unlike many competitors, we preheat the parts before applying the powder. This extra step enhances adhesion and ensures a flawless, long-lasting finish.
- Two-Coat Powder Coating AMS offers two-coat powder coating, a feature that sets us apart. This process involves applying two layers of powder for added durability and visual appeal. Few competitors in the industry provide this advanced option.
- Uncompromising Quality Control Throughout the process, we inspect every part using a paint thickness gauge to ensure consistent coating. This attention to detail guarantees a durable and uniform finish.
- Custom Solutions From low-gloss to high-gloss finishes and textured to wrinkled effects, AMS provides a nearly unlimited range of colors and finishes. We work closely with you to create coatings that align with your vision and needs.
The Benefits of Powder Coating
Powder coating accounts for 85% of all painted finishes in the market. Here are the key benefits:
- Durability: Powder-coated surfaces resist chipping, scratching, and corrosion, making them ideal for long-term use.
- Corrosion Resistance: The coating adds a protective layer that prevents rust and other damage.
- Customizability: Choose from an extensive range of colors, gloss levels, and textures to match your project’s requirements.
- Environmental Benefits: Powder coating produces minimal waste and does not release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds), making it an eco-friendly choice.
- Versatility: It can be applied to various metals, including steel, aluminum, iron, and zinc.
Applications of Powder Coating
Powder coating is used across industries for its durability and aesthetic appeal. Common applications include:
- Automotive: Coating for car parts like wheels, bumpers, and chassis components.
- Industrial Equipment: Protecting machinery from wear and corrosion.
- Appliances: Durable finishes for refrigerators, ovens, and washing machines.
