Superior Quality & Competitive Pricing for Your Commercial Powder Coating Projects
Powder Coating
Powder coating offers a robust and aesthetically versatile finishing solution for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. This process involves electrostatically applying a dry powder to metal surfaces, followed by heat curing to create a durable, uniform, and long-lasting finish. Compared to traditional liquid coatings, powder coating provides superior resistance to chipping, scratching, corrosion, chemicals, and impact, making it ideal for demanding commercial environments. It's also an environmentally responsible choice, typically emitting minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Choose Hi-Tek Powder Coating for a professional, durable, and cost-effective finish for your commercial projects.

Our Powder Coating Process: From Inquiry to Finished Product
We've streamlined our process to ensure a smooth and efficient experience, delivering high-quality, durable finishes you can rely on. Here's what you can expect when working with us:
-
It all starts with understanding your needs. Please provide us with any relevant drawings and the quantities of items you need powder coated so that we can properly scope your project.
-
Based on your project details, we'll provide you with a comprehensive quote outlining the cost and our estimated turnaround time. We'll also work with you to solidify convenient drop-off or pickup times for your items.
-
Once we receive your items, they will be efficiently worked into our production schedule.
-
Hanging: Each part is carefully hung to ensure optimal coating coverage.
Washing: Items undergo a thorough washing process, often including an acid wash to ensure a clean surface free of contaminants.
Sanding (If Applicable): For certain items, particularly residential pieces, sanding may be necessary to achieve the desired smoothness.
Sandblasting: Primarily for smoothing pre-prepared surfaces, creating an ideal foundation for smooth, strong adhesion in preparation for smooth adhesion.
-
Prepared parts are then moved into our oven to remove any residual moisture before entering our state-of-the-art powder coating booth. Here, the powder is applied electrostatically to ensure even and complete coverage. Please note that specialty colors may extend the turnaround time, and we avoid mixing colors in the oven during a single batch (e.g., running pink with other colors).
-
The coated parts are then baked in our oven for 10 to 20 minutes at the appropriate temperature, allowing the powder to melt and fuse into a durable, long-lasting finish.
-
After curing, the parts are removed from the oven and allowed to cool completely, typically taking 30 minutes to an hour.
-
Once cooled, the parts are unloaded and carefully wrapped, if necessary, for safe pickup or delivery.
-
While the average turnaround time is approximately 2 to 3 weeks, basic colors like black, white, and grey often have a quicker turnaround. We strive to complete your project efficiently without compromising on our commitment to quality.
