Powder Coating In Gloucester: What Does Powder Coating Involve?

Powder coating was developed in the 1960's and is a popular alternative to conventional solvent paint. As the name suggests, powder coating is commonly applied dry to metals such as bicycle or vehicle parts as a free flowing powder. Due to the multitude of advantages associated with this technique, there are now dedicated specialists in the field of powder coating Gloucester such as WPC; Worcester Powder Coating LTD. These experts can provide a low cost alternative to other liquid coated methods which, due to allowing thicker coatings more quickly, is often more hard-wearing and weather resistant.

The beauty of powder coating really is in its simplicity. Rather than using a solvent to adhere paint particles together, like with liquid paint, the dry particles used in powder coating are electrically charged to enable adhesion instead. Advantages of this method are obvious; less harmful solvent waste is produced, the whole process is usually cheaper allowing lower customer costs, and the finish created is generally more uniform than a liquid paint finish, (where paint can run and drip). Worcester Powder Coating use both thermoplastic powders, which can re-melt under heat, and thermosetting powders, which cannot - in order to cater for every situation.
