Powder coating for garden furniture repair

Garden furniture is usually left in the outdoors. This therefore means that they will be very vulnerable to the harsh aspects of the weather and

environment. Since they reside outside, they will be exposed to the strong rays of the sun (Ultra Violet rays) that destroy them. They will also be

faced with a problem of corrosion and rusting, since the rain provides the basis for rusting. They will be scratched and peeled by the children, pets

and also rodents. They are also most likely to undergo cracking and peeling. It is for these reasons that you must find a way to repair them, and make sure they last even longer. The perfect method that will ensure this is

powder coating. This article will focus on garden furniture repair (using powder coating).

powder coating. This article will focus on garden furniture repair (using powder coating).

Powder coating is a pollution-free, VOC-free, environmentally friendly and economical way to apply a durable long lasting finish on your garden

furniture. This ensures that they remain looking as good as new, with a high-quality finish.

Powder coating is a process of applying a powder coat on the surface of the furniture. To begin with, a suitable patented plastic coating is ground into fine powder. Then, this powder material is applied on to the surface, using electrostatic means. This is where the powder is charged electrostatically to acquire a negative charge. With this negative charge, the powder gets the ability to be able to stick onto surfaces. The fine powder is blown onto the

surface using this electrostatic method. Your garden furniture will therefore be coated all round with the powder, ensuring that all sections

are coated.

Since the powder coating can easily peel off, it is essential to find a way of making it stick permanently to the surface. This is done by curing. The

garden furniture, for example a patio, is placed carefully onto an oven to be cured. This is to make sure that the heat will give adhesive qualities to

the powder. The oven should be set to the melting point of the powder. This ensures that the powder melts into fluid. It is known that materials will stick better to a surface when they are in liquid, rather than solid, state.

The purpose of curing, therefore, is to make the powder melt and therefore stick better on your garden furniture.

The powder, upon melting, will flow onto the surface as a smooth film. This will later dry into a firm long-lasting coating. The finish will make your garden

furniture very resistant to the destructive ultra violet rays of the sun, cracking, peeling, rust, scratches and corrosion.

There are also numerous colors available for the plastic coating. These give a beautiful and colorful look to your garden. You can also play around with the

colors to create a perfect theme for your garden. The other advantage is that the electrostatic bonding by the powder does not require any solvent, unlike

painting. This bonding process gives a bond whose durability is far superior to that of paint. Apart from the garden furniture, this method can also be used on a number of other surfaces like fridge shelves, drawer handles, motorcycle parts

(ie powder coating alloy wheels, vent covers and so on.

In order to have success with powder coating, it is important to choose a good company whose service will guarantee a high-quality finish.
