Powder coating |
Sevie 2 Ltd. offers high quality manufacturing services related to the powder coating of metals according to customer specifications. The company has an automated production line for powder coating. It includes preparation of the details (cleaning, degreasing, washing, drying), chamber for deposition of the powder paint and drying oven for the finished products. Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form.

It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.

Newer technologies allow other materials, such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods. There are several advantages of powder coating over conventional liquid coatings:
