Coating Application Services We Offer

Coating applications are always the last step of the manufacturing process. These finishes give products their desired look and the protection they need. We offer multiple solutions to achieve this, depending on our customer’s needs.

Our facility is equipped with advanced automated processes for applying different types of coatings, such as e-coatings, powder coating, and automated spray lines. Our experienced technicians accurately control these processes so that we can produce outcomes that are second to none.

Our coating services are as follows:

E-Coating

E-coating is a process that’s a cross between painting and plating. It’s also known as the electrophoretic deposition painting process or EPD. Here, the metal part is immersed in a water-based solution with paint emulsion. Afterward, an electric current is sent to the metal part, which causes the paint to condense and form over the material.

What makes it unique is that this process can easily coat the inside and outside of the material. One of its main benefits is protecting the coated part against corrosion. With that said, it’s being used in a wide array of applications.

Our E-coat systems are capable of products up to 9’ Long X 7’ Tall X 6/5’ wide windows with multi-stage pretreatment to E-Coat and Powder Coat your product needs.

Some of the coating materials include:

  • Thick Film
  • Polyamide
  • Enamel And Epoxy
  • Micro Zinc Phosphate And Zinc
  • Urethane And Polyurea

Electrostatic Powder Coating

We also specialize in powder coating services, where the powder coat or granules are electrostatically charged while spraying with air and attracted to the component as a powder cloud. Afterward, the layer melts once the element is heated, then a closed coating is formed after the cooling process.

Being an economical coating process, it’s naturally environmentally friendly. Another benefit is that different powder coatings can fulfill specific applications and specifications but will also highly depend on the coated substrate.

Numerous benefits of powder coating:

  • Reduce chipping
  • Abrasion-resistant
  • Prevent wear issues
  • Avoid corrosion
  • Fade Resistant
  • Incredibly durable

Three Different Paint System Sizes:
Large Paint system (non-ecoat): 36’ X 8’ X 8’
Main Paint system (Ecoat) 9” X 7” X 6.5” and 6’6” W x 7’ H x 7’6” L

Automated Spray Lines

One of the most commonly used coating techniques is spray coating, which can be done automatically using spray coaters. Since there are numerous products where spray coating is employed, it’s no surprise that it’s one of the most sought-after services.

Our automated spray line efficiently applies protective coatings, finishes, and other types of treatments to products. The process is easy to manage and can reduce lead times, so your products are ready when needed.

Why choose spray coating?

  • Superior and consistent quality finishes
  • Flexible process
  • Efficient and productive transfer
  • Constant innovation

Many industries employ our e-coating, powder coating, and automated spray coating applications. These include automotive, appliance, and electronics, to name a few.
