Is Powder Coating environmentally friendly?

YES! There are no solvents in the powder so there are very few emissions during the painting process. Most powders have a Volatile Organic Compound rating of under a pound per gallon. It's not unusual to see conventional liquid paints with ratings more than five times higher.

There is also very little waste in the Powder Coating process.

2. What does "electostatically applied" mean?

"Electrostatically applied" means the powder is attracted to the unpainted target with static electricity. The job is neater and more consistent as small surface variations get covered virtually automatically. There's also less of a factor for human error than there is in a conventional liquid paint job.

3. What about preparation: Do you do sandblasting as well?

YES! Many shops only handle the Powder Coating leg of the process. At Durable Powder Coating we offer sandblasting services as well to make sure your pieces are prepped in professional fashion.

4. Does Powder Coating last?

Yes, that's why "Durable" is in our name. Many conventional solvent-based paints are susceptible to cracking and peeling, and are less resistant to abrasion and corrosion than Powder Coating. Powder Coating is tougher in the face of weathering and chemical erosion.

5. Is there a wide choice of colours?

YES! In addition to stock colours we have a wide selection of custom textures and shades to choose from. One of our technicians will be happy to help you find the ideal powder for your project.
