Get The Powder Coating Los Angeles Manufacturers Use For Better Reputations

By Jerri Perry


Many things you see on the shelves have a durable coating composed of plastic resins. This is known as powder coating and it has been an industry standard for many years. The powder coating Los Angeles CA professionals can offer will protect your product from abrasion and rust as well as corrosion for years. This is also the best way to make them colorful enough to compete with other items on that same shelf.

A short list of things that are coated in this way will include computer cases and appliances for the kitchen. Other items will be any real metal toys that are still produced. Valves in the sewer systems are treated this way because of its durability and lamp posts because of the beautiful surfaces it provides. Any metal items can be treated in this way because of the nature of the application process.

In traditional painting situations, a lot of space is needed to clean the items first. Then space is required to hang or lay the items to be painted. After the painting is accomplished, space is required to allow them to dry. All of this must be done in a relatively dust free environment and secluded from other manufacturing activities.

All of the space needed for this, admittedly, inferior paint coating might not be available for all manufacturers. The set up of a powder coat system will require less room and all equipment is available. The training is fairly straight forward and available from the vendors of this resource.

A powder coat process will fill in the majority of imperfections on the surface of the metal. The way this is accomplished is by flowing into them while the process is underway. The substance must not only be able to do this but will also be a durable coating that will not crack or chip as easy as paint. It will also have to prevent rust, corrosion and abrasions and look good.

Pieces that are to be coated will be cleaned through an easily prepared etching bath. An electrical charge is then attached and the powdered compound is sprayed onto it. The charge will hold onto the powder until it goes into the furnace. Inserting these pieces into a furnace will allow the powder to meld and flow into all areas of the piece. This creates the uniform coating that looks so good and lasts so long.

The furnace takes a very short time to do its task. After it comes out, the curing time is shorter than for a painted piece. Many pieces can be treated this way in a short amount of time. This is something that can be installed and operated in a medium to large manufacturing plant and it is in many of them. The smaller companies and those thinking about outsourcing will want a company specializing in this to provide the services needed.

When looking into the professional way to present your products in a durable, colorful and reputation saving way, the powder coating Los Angeles CA companies offer is the best bet. They can handle all of the cleaning and preparation and you can concentrate on producing the products you do. Your items can have the same surfaces as the major players in your field.
