What is the Purpose of Powder Coating?
Powder coating has been around since the 1960's and is a very popular way to both beautify and protect your metal framing. When properly applied, powder coating provides a rock hard protective surface, comprised of a combination of paint pigments and resins that are cured under heat, that can last up to 40 years! The longevity of your powder coat will be determined by a number of factors, such as materials being coated, the coating material itself, preparation methods used, and also your application for the material. But, overal, powder coating results in a very durable, weather resistant finish that stands up well to high traffic areas. In general, it is also much safer and less toxic than paint.

And compared to competitive “high-performance” coatings, Perma-Green III provides superior resistance to chalking, checking and fading and is far less vulnerable to common acidic atmospheres, solvents and alkalis. Just as important, Perma-Green III is the result of an environmentally neutral process that virtually eliminates the toxic metals commonly found in competitive paint-based finishes.
