Problem Solver - Powder Coatings

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.

Preparation

Wash surface down with detergent or sugar soap

If any mould or mildew is apparent, treat with a suitable fungicidal solution, rinse again with clean water and allow to dry.

Basecoat

Once the surface is clean and all loose material has been removed, treat with a suitable primer and allow to dry.

Apply a suitable undercoat

Topcoat

Apply an appropriate topcoat and allow to dry, followed by a 2nd coat to finish.
