Materials Suitable for Powder Coating

We work exclusively with metals and aluminum for powder coating. Metal surfaces are most commonly powder coated, as the coating forms a strong bond with the substrate. Wood and plastic can also be powder coated, but additional steps, such as priming or sealing, may be required.

Adhesion Techniques

At Thornton Powder Coating, we use high-temperature curing to ensure the powder particles adhere properly to the substrate. This process involves baking the substrate and powder at high temperatures, creating a powerful bond between the two materials. We also utilize chemical and/or mechanical bonding techniques, which use adhesives or force to attach the powder particles to the surface.

Faster Oven Speeds

Faster oven speeds in powder coating refer to the increased rate at which the oven heats up. We continuously monitor and optimize our oven speeds, ensuring the best possible outcome for your project.

Improved Application Techniques

We understand the importance of proper application techniques in powder coating. Our team is continuously trained to use automated spray systems, which ensure even coverage and reduced overspray. We employ various application techniques for different projects, ensuring optimal results.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

VOCs are solvents released into the air during the powder coating process. At Thornton Powder Coating, we use high-quality materials with low VOC emissions to minimize environmental impact and ensure the safety of our team members.

Substrates

In powder coating, a substrate refers to the surface being coated. Common substrates include metal, wood, and plastic. At Thornton Powder Coating, we focus on metals and aluminum for our powder coating services.
