PAINTLINEPROCESSFINAL

THE IDEAL FINISH

From start to finish, your aluminium profiles receive the care and attention they need with our meticulous powder coating process. 

We begin with our 5-stage pre-treatment before moving to colour being applied electrostatically, then curing the newly powdered profiles under the heat of our industrial powder coating ovens (to form a hard-plastic coating) to securely packaging your goods in wrapping of your choice.

Our process is designed to ensure that your aluminium profiles get everything they need for a colour durable finish, alongside that extra layer of wear, UV protection and smooth, aesthetically pleasing colour.

THE PAINTLINE PROCESS

DEDICATED POWER COATING FACILITY

Our purpose-built, in-house powder coating facility (with an automatic conveyorized system) is designed to provide the highest quality finish to your aluminium profiles.

The powder coating process starts at our in-line treatment tunnel, which comprises of five stages of pre-treatment - critical for paint adhesion and longevity - before moving to our automatic, horizontal paint line that can accommodate aluminium profiles of 6.5M (length) x 1.3M (drop) x 0.4M (width).

We also incorporate high quality line systems and hanging applications called Hang On accessories to help maintain a consistent pattern during the paint process. This also allows for cost-effective density (without any compromise to quality) and for all kinds of shapes to be hung efficiently and profiles kept locked in place.

THE POWDER COATING STAGE

Powder coating comprises of finely ground resins and pigments. Available in a full range of colour options, our powder coating is automatically applied via electrostatic spray guns. 

This means the spray gun applies a charge to the powder during the spray process, which ensures the powder can 'cling' to the electronically grounded (aluminium) component.  

The next step is known as the 'curing process'. This is where the powder melts and chemically transforms to a continuous film by heating at high temperatures (typically between 180C and 200C). This ensures the durability and longevity of the applied powder film.

OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM

Our close-knit team of powder coaters have years of experience in the field and they pride themselves on providing a first-class, professional service.

The personal, hands-on approach of our team makes a real difference to your powder coating order, and because our service is bespoke, we are able to inspect profiles after pre-treatment and before and during the painting process, alongside additional services such as masking or threading (ideal for customers in lighting or electrical who need critical areas free from paint) and hand-spraying profiles.

To ensure we provide the desired finish and high quality control, our team implements end of line testing and inspection by applying a Micron thickness gauge, gloss metre and cross hatch, scratch testing. All finished profiles are then hand wrapped in a choice of protective packages including foam, spiral wrappers, tissue paper, etc.
