Is it Polyester powder coating or liquid paint?

Giving finish to metal products greatly enhances the appearance and adds resilient layer of protection to the product.  If you are into producing metal parts for various applications and applying liquid paint for surface coating it is time that you think about switching to powder coating. Polyester powder coating has several advantages over the conventional liquid paint and help sell products faster than the conventional paint covered applications.

Reasons why?

·         Liquid paint is applied directly on the surface and is likely to experience drips and runs if not mixed properly. Liquid paints use a solvent to attain a certain viscosity so it is proper for applying on surfaces. This will prove cumbersome and the painting will be ineffective showing runs clearly on the surface. With powder coating you don’t have anything like that because it does not need to be mixed with a solvent and always ready to spray without adding the liquid element.

·         Fantastic range of finish and gloss can be achieved by the polyster coating and you will have no runs, drips or sags on the surface which is very common with liquid paint. You don’t need to clean spraying accessories with a solvent and can be easily blown or wiped off. This prolongs the life of the equipment and always keeps it clean and new.
·         With liquid paint you have to spend the entire amount of paint after it has been mixed, or it will go waste. With polyurethane powder you can use according to your requirement and the rest can be easily stored without any side effects.

·         Powder coating does not emit harmful fumes in to the atmosphere while applying, because it contains no solvent like paint. When you cure the powder it is the same and has no adverse effect on the atmosphere.

For fine finish of metal products it is necessary that you run them through shot blasting so sharp edges, burrs and other protrusions could be effectively removed.   Shotblasting Leeds does an effective job of it and you can visit the website hitechcoating.co.uk to know more about it and accordingly engage us for your products.
