The Process
The powder is a 100% solid, solventless coating, which is applied through an electrostatic gun, the powder particles being electrically charged at the gun head and actually attracted to the articles to be coated, which are earthed. Powder that misses the article (overspray) is recovered into an extraction unit. During the baking process, the powder melts into a continuous film and reacts to form a tough, resistant coating.

Care of Powder Coated Products
The effects of ultraviolet light, pollution, dirt, grime and salt deposits can all accumulate on your powder coated surface over time. To extend the effective life of powder coatings, a very simple regular maintenance program should be implemented for the removal of any residues.

As a general rule, cleaning should take place every six months. However, in areas where pollutants are more prevalent, especially in coastal or industrial regions, a cleaning program should be carried out on a more frequent basis (i.e. Every three months).

To clean your powder coated surface:
1. Carefully remove any loose deposits with a wet sponge.
2. Use a soft brush (non-abrasive) or cloth, and a mild household detergent solution to remove dust, salt and other deposits.
3. Rinse off with clean fresh water.

Detergents that recommend the use of gloves when handling should be avoided, as this is a good indication that the detergent is harsh and therefore unsuitable. Although some strong solvents are recommended for removing sealants or other building residues, these may be harmful to the extended life of the powder coated surface and should also be avoided as the damage may take up to twelve months to appear.

If paint splashes, sealants or other residues need to be removed. Then methylated spirits, turpentine, or white spirits may be used safely. Should damage or chipping occur, use a zinc rich primer and two coats of touchup, which are available from our sales centres and distributors
