The powder coating process can be quite complex, and there are a few things you\u2019ll need to have to hand to ensure that the coating is applied properly. Below, we\u2019ve broken down the required equipment and supplies into simple lists so you can make sure nothing is forgotten.<\/p>\n

What supplies are required for powder coating?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with the supplies you\u2019ll need before you can get started with powder coating, including primer and masking products.<\/p>\n

Primer<\/h3>\n

As with most coating applications, you\u2019ll need a primer to help it stick to the material properly.<\/p>\n

For powder coating, you\u2019ll usually need a corrosion-resistant primer since this will prevent rusting and corrosion under the powder coating. This is the best way to ensure the coating can do its job and last longer. Typically, an epoxy primer should be used for this, so make sure you have this to hand.<\/p>\n

Masking products<\/h3>\n

The masking supplies you use for powder coating must be durable and capable of withstanding the high temperatures they\u2019re exposed to during the process. We recommend using our Green High Temperature Polyester Film Tape<\/a> and Blue High Temperature Polyester Film Tape<\/a> since these both offer excellent temperature resistance of up to 220\u00b0C\/428\u00b0F for up to 30 minutes. Working on a curved surface? You can easily mask it off with the thinner and more flexible blue variation of our tape. Powder coating a flat surface? Go with our green variation with its increased thickness and durability.<\/p>\n

During alloy wheel powder coating<\/a> specifically, you might also need to protect the rear hub. Our Green High Temperature Polyester Film Discs<\/a> are the ideal solution and something we would recommend using when powder coating this surface. The polyester film discs are temperature-resistant up to 220\u00b0C\/428\u00b0F for up to 30 minutes, and like the tapes they were modelled on, they provide a perfect finish each time.<\/p>\n

Powder coating materials<\/h3>\n

Finally, for the supplies, you\u2019ll need to have the powder coating materials. This includes the polymer resin coating and the curatives, pigments, levelling agents, flow modifiers, and other additives that will be mixed with it.<\/p>\n

What equipment is required for powder coating?<\/h2>\n

Moving on to the kinds of equipment you\u2019ll need, below you\u2019ll find a basic list of what should be used to carry out the powder coating process on materials and surfaces.<\/p>\n

Tools for disassembly<\/h3>\n

Depending on the material you\u2019re working on, you might need to disassemble some of the parts to ensure your coating is evenly and properly applied. This might require a wrench, screwdriver or pliers, so check the material to make sure you have the necessary tools before you go ahead with the rest of your powder coating preparation.<\/p>\n

Sandblasting equipment<\/h3>\n

Part of the preparation will require you to sandblast the material or surface. This will give it the texture needed to help the coating stick and settle into the material, giving it the durability you\u2019re seeking. For this step, you\u2019ll need a sandblasting machine, abrasives and dust collectors.<\/p>\n

Powder coating gun<\/h3>\n

A powder coating gun is needed for applying the powder coating mixture. These guns can be manual or automatic and provide the control necessary to achieve for the desired finish. A powder coating gun will push the powder through with compressed air, and then the electrostatically charged coating can spread across the surface.<\/p>\n

Spray booth \/ extraction unit<\/h3>\n

The powder coating should be applied in a spray booth that\u2019s large enough for the surface. This should be properly ventilated to ensure the coating is filtered out and doesn\u2019t linger in the air. The temperature should also be controlled to ensure the coating doesn\u2019t melt as it\u2019s being applied.<\/p>\n

Curing oven \/ plant<\/h3>\n

There are a few different types of self-contained curing plants and ovens, and the type you have will likely depend on the industry you\u2019re in and the size of your establishment. From compact curing ovens to industrial ones, just make sure that yours is fit for purpose and is the most cost-effective option for you. The main thing to remember is that the powder coating must be cured at high temperatures to melt it into the surface, so check that your curing oven or plant can achieve these levels.<\/p>\n

PPE<\/h3>\n

Protecting yourself during this process is crucial since you\u2019re dealing with high temperatures and chemicals. Because of the dust that\u2019s produced during powder coat preparation and the powder coating process itself, it\u2019s recommended to wear a respirator that filters this out. Temperature-resistant gloves and clothing should also be worn to protect you from burning yourself during any part of the process. Additionally, hard-toed boots are recommended when working with heavy materials, which is likely in the industries this coating is normally used within.<\/p>\n

Powder coating can involve a variety of different equipment types depending on the application, but we\u2019ve covered the basics to help you get started. Before you begin this process, you should make sure you\u2019re properly prepared and understand exactly what you\u2019re doing.
