POWDER COATING
Powder Coating is a coating that is applied as a free flowing dry powder. It is cured under heat which allows it to flow and form a skin. Once the powder cools it sets and forms a hard finish which is far tougher than conventional paints.
To achieve maximum protection from powder coating, a good surface pre-treatment is imperative. These are used to remove Grease, oil, soil and various other impurities. This can be done by a variety of chemical and mechanical methods. The selection of this method will depend on the size and material of the product. Garrick Surface Coatings Ltd will be happy to advise you on the best pre-treatment for your products.
EPOXY POLYESTER
Epoxy polyester is ideal for general indoor use and other applications where a high UV stability is not required. Zinc rich epoxy coatings are also available as a primer coat on phosphate or blast cleaned steel objects and structure. When combined with polyester top coat this offers an enhanced resistance to corrosion and weathering.
A low cure coating is also available which requires lower oven temperatures and as such offers a saving in cost. This is useful on longer production runs.
EPOXY
Epoxy coatings are an ideal choice for all industrial and engineering applications as they have an excellent chemical resistance and mechanical properties. This coating is susceptible to colour breakdown under UV over time. Specialist high build coatings (500m) are available for anti corrosion applications.
We offer a range of coatings for external applications including architectural metalwork. Extra life is a programme of life expectancies which offers up to sixteen years external life on powder coating systems in terms of anti corrosive performance.
NYLON
Nylon powder coating is a special coating which serves a range of applications providing a superior resistance to solvents, oils and chemicals. Nylon coating is a type of thermoplastic coating which offers a unique resistance to solvents and chemicals producing a hard satin finish and is used on a wide range of products.
POLYESTER
Polyester powder coatings are for use outdoors where UV stability and weather resistance is required. A typical example includes automotive trim, architectural components, cladding, fencing, motor cycles and garden furniture.
