Powder coating: our process
Achieving a quality powder coating finish on a galvanised substrate requires an in-depth knowledge of both galvanising and powder coating. Medway Galvanising has many years’ experience of both processes.
With a proven track record in the production of both coatings from a single production facility, the company has the know-how to maximise the benefits that powder coating provides.

Preparation
Once a material has been galvanised, our technicians smooth all its surfaces in order to achieve the best quality powder coating finish. All the components of the material are then subjected to a meticulous 10-stage pre-treatment procedure, starting with the application of a zinc phosphate conversion coating. The material then undergoes oven drying to reduce the possibility of pinholing.

Process
Once pre-treatment is finished, our operatives apply the powder coating using their expertise to attain coatings that comply with all British and European standards and that match the imagination of the designer. The careful observation of quality control procedures governing chemicals, degas oven, curing oven and final inspection ensures that each client receives an attractive and high quality product, whatever the project. This painstaking attention to detail is maintained through to delivery, with finished goods palletised and fully shrink wrapped prior to dispatch to provide extra protection.
