Powder coating<\/span><\/a> is in high demand and is used to <\/span>customise finished and semi-finished metal products and make them more resistant to weathering.<\/b> It consists of a dry process that uses electrostatic energy to make the powder paint stick to the metal, creating a <\/span>beautiful protective coating<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The powder is <\/span>applied manually<\/b> to the surfaces using special<\/span> electrostatic spray guns<\/b>. <\/span>Once coated, the products are placed in a<\/span> drying oven <\/b>at very high temperatures (around 180-190\u00b0C), as the heat makes the powder stick perfectly to the metal. <\/span><\/p>\n

The advantages of powder coating<\/span><\/h2>\n

Powder coating has several advantages compared to liquid paint. Here are the main ones:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • it is an <\/span>environmentally-friendly solution<\/b> because only a small percentage of paint is lost in the process and can be easily recovered from the spray booth<\/span><\/li>\n
  • because it is <\/span>solvent-free<\/b>, powder coating has a reduced environmental impact and makes it less expensive to ensure the workplace is healthy and clean\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • creates<\/span> excellent results with a variety of finishes <\/b>(glossy, matte, soft-touch, wrinkle, metallic, etc.)<\/span> and colours<\/b><\/li>\n
  • the <\/span>process is faster and easier<\/b><\/li>\n
  • it is highly<\/span> resistant to corrosion<\/b> and weathering<\/span><\/li>\n
  • it has a <\/span>thicker, high-coverage layer<\/b> for greater scratch resistance<\/span><\/li>\n
  • it provides a <\/span>durable finish<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Which metals can be powder coated?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Virtually all types of metal can be powder coated.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Pesce Metal Factory uses this technology to paint<\/span> iron, steel, aluminium, copper, brass and galvanised materials<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The company takes care of every stage of the process in its <\/span>own painting department<\/b>, ensuring <\/span>excellent quality<\/b> to customers while also<\/span> reducing the time <\/b>it takes to do the job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
