The powder coating process for outdoor furniture offers a range of benefits that contribute to its popularity as a finishing method. Major advantages include durability, weather resistance, decor versatility, and extended lifespan, but how does the process work? This blog will cover the powder coating process and what to expect from your newly finished outdoor furniture.
Step One – Preparation
For the powder coating process to begin, the furniture must be thoroughly prepped. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned and pre-treated to make sure the power adheres to the furniture properly. This can usually happen by sanding or chemical treatment. Pre-treatment of the furniture makes sure there is a flawless canvas.
Step Two – Powder Composition
The next step in the powder coating process is to create the powder that will be coating the furniture. The powder is composed of finely ground particles of pigment and resin. Coating powder comes in an array of colors and finishes which creates opportunity for endless finishing possibilities. After the coating powder is mixed it is electrostatically charged. Charging the coating powder causes the powder to behave like a magnet to the object being coated, wrapping around the furniture to create a uniform and thick coating.
Step Three – Powder Spraying
After the powder paint is charged and ready for use, with an even sweeping pattern electrostatic paint is sprayed onto the metal, prepped parts of the furniture.
Step Four – Baking to Perfection
After the piece of furniture has been covered with electrostatic powder, it is placed into a curing oven. The furniture is then baked at a carefully controlled temperature, causing the powder particles to melt and fuse into a fluid, film-like coat. The curing process delivers a durable, resistant coat that minimizes chipping, fading, and wearing.
Once the curing process is complete you are left with a completely new piece of art, beautifully coated in a strong, vibrant , and long-lasting coat, ready to be used for many seasons to come.
