6 Industrial Powder Coating Techniques
Proper handling of different material types is critical for a robust and durable finish. Our powder coating is designed to meet or exceed rigorous IEEE standards.
- Carbon Steel – Even though steel is a strong element, carbon steel will weaken with rust if not protected in some manner. The type of steel used can also play a part in durability and the ultimate performance of the finish. At Rockett we utilize Hot Rolled Pickled & Oiled carbon steel as much as possible. HRP&O goes through an additional mill process in which the mill scale has been removed. This offers a superior surface for powder coating to adhere to. Other material we process may be shot-blasted to remove mill scale. After fabrication parts go through a 5 stage washer system to thoroughly clean off manufacturing oils and grim, and impart chemicals to further assist powder coat bonding to the base metal.
- Stainless Steel – While this steel does not corrode as quickly as other forms; it still must be washer and treated for proper powder adhesion. We also take care during fabrication to not use sanding or grinding pads that were previously used on carbon steel parts, as this can cause carbon to be imbedded in the stainless surface.
- Aluminum – Much lighter and more malleable than other forms of metal, aluminum can be a little more challenging as it oxidizes quickly when exposed to air, developing a white chalky patina that affects the surface. Proper pretreatment is also critical.
Rockett can provide other non-painted finishes depending on your specific needs. Hot-Dip Galvanizing, zinc dichromate plating, silver plating, and others are possible.
