Powder coat aluminium, don’t paint aluminium


Smooth surface left by extrusion needs key

Powder coating aluminium.
In 2003 we removed our 8-stage chromate pre-treatment system, operated to BS6496 and adopted a Qualicoat approved system.
Due to our reputation with a large box oven, the sizes of the work we were asked to process were larger then our pre-treatment tanks. The new pre-treatment incorporates chromate solution in an acrylic resin, which encapsulates the treated metal.
We are now able to pre-treat and powder coat large aluminium components as long as they will fit in our box oven 11m x 4m x 3m.
  Tri-Resin™ System (Aluminium)
Polyesters are not as impervious to moisture as was once thought. The Tri-Resin Powder Coat System is a coating system involving three different paint resins to seal the metal against moisture that can permeate through one coat of paint. This thicker coating will also be more aesthetically pleasing producing a thick luster finish. The Tri-Resin System has been used on aluminium window frames to 9m footbridges.
