Powder coating is a process where a powder material is applied to a surface using electrostatic or compressed air methods. The powder is then heated in an oven until it melts and forms a smooth, durable film resistant to scratches, cracking, peeling, UV rays and rust. The process involves cleaning and pretreating the substrate, applying the powder coating electrostatically, and fully curing the coating in an oven.

Powder coating is the process of coating a surface in which a powder material is
applied using an electrostatic or compressed air method, or sometimes a fluidized bed. The applied powder is then heated (cured) in an oven to its melting point, after which it flows to form a smooth film which dries to a firm, durable finish very resistent to scratches, cracking, peeling, UV rays and rust. The entire powder coating process involves several steps. Very generally: after determining the substrate you are working with, begin with the cleaning step -abrasive blasting or chemical cleaning to insure the substrate is free of any oils, dirt, rust, mill scale, etc; The substrate must be fully cleaned to avoiddefects in the finish and rejects by the customer resulting in lost income and time. a pretreatment step (an important step not done by all coaters) during which the product is treated with a pretreatment chemical or conversion coating, usually phosphate or zinc based, to further protect it and improve the surface for powder adherence; rinse, rinse, rinse..dry completely then Mask areas don't want coated. This is done with high-temperature tape specially designed for powder coating, and/or caps and plugs. Rack the items. Now ready to coat. Select coating. Choosing the right coating for application and end use of the item is very important. A variety of powder formulationsexists to choose from depending on the type item you will be coating. powder coat the parts, usually done with anelectrostatic gun, corona or tribo, in a powder booth, but sometimes in a fluidized bed; finally, FULLY cure the powder in the oven, usually convection cure ovens generally at 375-400 deg. F, 15-20 minutes (varies), in an infrared oven, or a combination of both. Failing to preheat and cure the part properly can result in several kinds of defects such asoutgassing.
