Capacities

500 sq.ft. indoor media blasting room
unlimited space outdoor blasting area
various blast medias available for any project scope and requirements
5x5x6 electric oven for small parts (batch oven)

Custom Powder Coating Services

We are a production level facility that processes thousands of parts each week. We also have a dedicated custom job department totally separate from our production line to facilitate the needs of our customers that just want to get their personal items dipped. Our team of professionals dedicated to custom work have years of experience with production as well as very complex, one-off piece work which enables us to provide accurate results with minimal testing time for a shorter lead time than a large production job. Automotive parts, motorcycles, electronics, household, etc. are some of the types of parts we process each week for our walk in clients. Click here for a free quote or give us a call!

The Powder Coating Process

The powder coating process starts with removal of all dirt, grease, and residue that exists on almost all substrates as it comes into our facility. We take every precaution necessary to ensure proper adhesion for a long lasting product. Once cleaned and degreased, we then media blast or acid etch the surface of the part to ensure proper adhesion as required by the manufacturers requirements. The next step is to apply your specific coating and bake at roughly 400 degress (most powders and substrates). Finally, allow to cool and inspect for quality, adhesion, and adequate coverage. ALL parts are inspected using a MIL thickness gauge before final QC and approval to leave the facility.

Media Blast

Nearly all substrates and parts that enter our facility require an abrasive media blasting process in order to acquire proper adhesion. We have several types of blast media for different substrates that are specific to different alloys and substrate capacities. In the event that existing powder coat is on the part, we first submerge the part in an acid back specifically designed to remove existing or flawed coatings. This acid does not affect the integrity of the alloy or substrate in any way and is eco-friendly.

Clean & Degrease

Once all surfaces are media blasted for proper adhesion, all parts are then thouroughly cleaned with grease and wax remover, and then acetone treated to remove any residue from handling the parts. This is also our time to remove any residual media from the media blasting process.

Apply Powder

Our next step in the process is to apply 2-7 mil thickness coat of powder. Powder coat comes in various types, colors, and textures. TGIC and Polyester powders are most common for both OEM/Commercial as well as custom projects. All powders that we use are un-recycled and virgin products to ensure cross contamination does not exist in

Oven Cure

The final step in the powder coating process is to cure or bake the powder. In this step, the solid powder particles become fluid and adhere to oneanother creating a much more durable coating than any wet paint can provide. Most powders cure at a temperature roughly 400 degrees for roughly 10-15 minutes. Cure times do not start until the substrate surface temperature reaches 400 degrees. After curing, a final QC inspection of the part is done to ensure proper coverage and thickness.
