Powder coating or liquid painting?
Depending on the requirements and material, one of these finishing methods may be more suitable than the other. We offer you the optimal solution for your needs.
Powder coating is a process where conductive materials like stainless steel or steel are coated with powder coating. The grainy powder is applied electrostatically and then melted and cured in a special oven at temperatures between 160°C and 200°C. The powder coating forms an even, durable layer on the workpiece, and the abrasion of the coating against mechanical influences is minimal.
We also offer liquid painting for components. Liquid painting is one of the most common and traditional coating techniques for workpieces. With liquid painting, we can coat almost any material provided to us. Unlike powder coating, the liquid paint is applied with a spray gun and air dries. The spraying process offers many variations for colors, color combinations, effects, and textures.
Powder Coating
Compared to conventional painting, powder coating offers higher corrosion resistance, extreme durability, and longevity.
The coating is scratch-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and impact-resistant, allowing it to withstand extreme stress and be highly weather-resistant.
Powder coatings are available in a wide range of colors and RAL shades, ensuring that the perfect coating can be found for every taste and application.
They are solvent-free, contributing to an environmentally friendly production process.
Painting
With liquid painting, extremely thin layers of paint can be applied, yet still achieve high brilliance and color depth - ideal for applications where low weight or high surface quality is required.
It creates a smooth, pore-free surface free from irregularities and inclusions. This ensures a flawless appearance, which is especially important for high-quality products and objects.
Nearly any imaginable color can be realized with painting. This offers unlimited possibilities for custom designs, allowing the coating to be perfectly tailored to specific requirements and preferences.
The paint adheres excellently to a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, wood, and glass. This enables the coating of a wide range of objects and components.
