Powder coating meta protects a surface from corrosion. The metal being treated must first be cleaned properly which may include treating it with chemicals to prevent undercoat corrosion. Use an air sprayer to change from powder to particles and test on a piece of scrap metal. Apply the solution to the surface of the metal and place it in an oven or under an infrared lamp. Always ensure that protective equipment is worn to prevent injury or illness.
The process of powder coating metal is a relatively new one and involves putting the powder on items such as bicycle parts and door handles. The powder used in the procedure is normally a thermoset or thermoplastic polymer. A surface that has been powder coated looks like it has received two coats of traditional paint.
