Powder coating is a popular finishing product used on toilet partitions. It is the process of applying a dry powder coating to a metal surface. The powder is electrostatically charged and then baked at high temperatures, which bonds it to the metal, creating a uniform and durable coating. Powder coating is a more durable finish than traditional paint, and it is also more environmentally friendly.
What is the step-by-step process of powder coating?
- Surface Preparation: Before applying the powder coating, the metal surface of the toilet partition is cleaned and prepared to remove any contaminants, dirt, grease, or old finishes that could interfere with the adhesion of the powder.
- Electrostatic Application: The powder coating is applied to the prepped surface using a spray gun, which ensures that the powder is evenly distributed over the surface of the panels. The powder particles are given an electrostatic charge as they are sprayed, which causes them to be attracted to and stick to the grounded metal surface.
- Curing: Once the powder is applied, the coated toilet partitions are placed in an oven, where the powder is heated and cured. The heat causes the powder particles to melt and fuse together, forming a solid, smooth, and robust coating. The baking process also cures the powder coating, making it hard and durable.
- Cooling: After curing, the powder coated toilet partitions are allowed to cool down, completing the powder coating process.
What is the result of powder coating?
This creates a durable, attractive, and scratch-resistant finish that provides excellent protection to the metal surface of the toilet partitions. Powder coating offers several advantages, including a wide range of color options, high resistance to corrosion, chipping, fading, and chemicals, making it a popular choice for high-traffic restroom partitions that require a long-lasting and visually appealing finish.
Due to its many advantages, powder coated toilet partitions have become a preferred choice for toilet partitions in commercial and public restrooms, providing a durable, attractive, and environmentally friendly solution for years to come.
