Powder Coating
▁▁▁▁▁▁
Introduction
Powder coating is a finishing process that bakes powdered plastic onto a statically charged metal surface. It looks similar to paint but is more durable. The coat is hard and abrasion-resistant.
Material | Color | Applications | Standards |
Aluminum, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Steel, Stainless Steel | Black, any RAL code or Pantone number. | Vehicle parts, household appliances, aluminum extrusions | Gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured |

Design Considerations
✔ Mechanical finishing before powder coating is not usually required as the coating covers and smoothes the surface.
✔ Powder coating typically adds 0.001″ – 0.003″ to each coated surface and slightly rounds edges.
✔ Textured and matte finishes hide scratches and abrasions better than gloss.
✔ Deep pockets and inside corners may not be coated due to the electrostatic process.
✔ Small amounts of powder may accumulate in holes, which may interfere with mating parts and threading. Plugging, redrilling or retapping can optionally be requested.
