Powder Coating Pt. 1: What is Powder Coating, and Why is it Preferred?
At K & K Manufacturing, we pride ourselves on using methods that ensure our products aren’t just tough but aesthetically pleasing. One technique we rely on is powder coating, which is critical to the look and durability of our custom builds.
Understanding Powder Coating
Powder coating is a finishing process where we apply a dry powder—consisting of pigment and resin—by using a specialized application “spray” gun to electrostatically charge the powder, ensuring it adheres to every surface. We then cure the coated pieces in our large, custom 60′ X 18′ oven, where the powder bakes into a uniform, solid coat.
Why Powder Coating is the Recommended Method for Complete Protection
1. Unmatched Durability: This technique offers a robust finish that resists scratches, chips, and corrosion. It’s perfect for our truck bodies and other heavy-duty products that must endure rigorous conditions.
2. Superior Aesthetic Quality: Powder coating doesn’t just toughen up our products; it beautifies them, too. It provides a smooth, consistent finish in various colors and textures, from matte to high gloss, enhancing its overall appeal.
3. Environmental and Efficiency Benefits: Powder coating releases negligible volatile organic compounds (VOCs) without solvents, making it a cleaner process for our planet and workers. It’s also efficient—excess powder can be recycled instead of wasted, and the quicker curing times streamline our production process.
4. Customizable Finishes: At K & K Manufacturing, our custom powder coating services allow us to meet each project’s specific aesthetic and functional needs, ensuring that every product performs well and looks great.
