Coating

Powder coating provides your material with lasting corrosion protection and enhances its appearance with a comprehensive range of colours.

The surfaces of everyday objects can be both protected and visually enhanced by powder coating. In this process, finely ground pigment and resin particles are applied to a surface and then baked to create an even, durable coating.

The powder coating is more durable than conventional paint as it does not contain a liquid carrier that can evaporate and make the coating susceptible to damage. Powder coating also causes fewer emissions than conventional liquid coating, as it is solvent-free. The process is used to coat a variety of materials, including metals such as aluminium and steel.

WIEGEL duplex system: hot-dip galvanising and powder coating from a single source. The most sustainable corrosion protection, now available in all the colours of the rainbow. The lasting protective effect of hot-dip galvanising in combination with the protective effect of powder coating. Optimal protection has never looked better.

Furthermore within the WIEGEL Group we offer wet coating.

Process

Pre-treatment

Just as with the galvanising process, careful preparation is key in powder coating to ensure a high-quality surface. The choice of sandblasting or chemical pre-treatment depends on the surface.

Coating

In the coating stage, the material is coated with a layer of powder to protect it from corrosion and abrasion. The coating is applied precisely to ensure that all the components of the material are given the same protection.

Baking

After coating, the material needs to crosslink. This curing process usually takes place in an oven. The heat melts the powder coating and forms an even protective layer. The material must then be cooled down. Depending on the application, this can be done either mechanically or by natural air drying.

Thanks to our expert employees on site and the use of high-quality powder, we can ensure a sustainable and effective result that protects your steel from corrosion and rust, just like galvanising.
