Every project begins with a thorough inspection and documentation process. Our team reviews your specifications, verifies part quantities, and identifies any special handling / masking requirements, and packaging requirements. We assess the substrate material, existing coatings, and surface conditions to determine the optimal preparation method.

Parts and material types are verified to the print, surface condition and contamination, previous coating removal requirements, special masking or fixture needs, color specifications by RAL # or custom match.

Proper surface preparation is critical to coating performance. Our multi-stage cleaning process is equipped with a closed loop chemical concentration system.  Tanks are equipped with probes that perform real-time monitoring and adjustments eliminating significant chemical concentration variation during production. Properly maintained tanks effectively remove contaminants, create an optimal surface profile, and ensures maximum adhesion for long-lasting finishes.

Degreasing - Removes oils, lubricants, and surface contaminants
Chemical Cleaning - Multi-stage wash system for thorough cleaning
Chemical Pretreatment - Iron phosphate or other conversion coatings enhance corrosion resistance
Media Blasting - Creates proper surface profile for optimal adhesion (when required) Masking - Precision masking protects threads, holes, and surfaces that require no coating

Even the best powder coating will fail if applied to an improperly prepared surface. We don't cut corners on prep work.

Parts are carefully loaded onto our advanced conveyor system using specialized fixtures and hanging methods. Proper loading ensures complete coverage, prevents contact marks, and maximizes oven capacity / throughput.  Our process design consistently outperforms powder systems that apply coatings in a stop-stage process and a single stage batch cure oven.

• Consistent part movement through all process stages
• Optimized for medium production runs
• Reduced handling and potential for damage
• Precise timing control for each process stage
• Even heat distribution during curing cycle.  Specialized profiles for heat resistant coatings and sensitive substrates

Conveyed through the filtered spray booth, certified technicians apply powder using electrostatic spray guns. The powder particles receive an electrical charge, causing them to attract to the grounded metal parts and wraparound edges and recesses for complete coverage.

• Parts enter our enclosed powder spray booth
• Electrostatically charged powder particles are sprayed onto parts
• Powder wraps around part geometry for complete coverage
• Thickness is controlled for consistent mil build

• Thousands of standard colors by RAL number
• Various finishes: gloss, satin, matte, textured
• Specialized formulations: heat resistant coatings up to 1200°F, CARC coatings IAW MIL-DTL-53072

Coated parts travel through our precision curing ovens where carefully controlled heat causes the powder to melt, flow, and chemically cross-link into a durable finish. Our oven heat distribution has been adjusted throughout the cure cycle to obtain the optimum heat up ramp and hold temperature

• Temperature range: 350-400°F (standard applications)
• Precise temperature control in multi-zone ovens
• Monitored cure times for complete cross-linking
• Even heat distribution for consistent finish quality. Specialized profiles for heat resistant coatings and sensitive substrates

A tough, durable coating that's chemically bonded to the metal surface—far superior to conventional paint.

Parts exiting the cure oven are demasked during the cooling process followed by final QC inspection. Each production run is preceded by a “Q” retain panel processed through the production process for performance testing. Film build, adhesion, gloss, and final cure of the production is verified.

In addition to the performance testing, a visual inspection is performed on 100% of all coated parts. Production date, quantity produced, product code, and batch# are recorded

• Visual inspection for finish quality and coverage
• Thickness measurement verification
• Color and gloss measurement (when specified)
• Adhesion testing on process retain panels
• Documentation of all test results

Our quality management system ensures consistent processes, complete traceability, and continuous improvement.
