What is Electrostatic Painting?

Electrostatic painting, also known as electrostatic spray painting or powder coating, is a process that uses electrically charged particles to apply paint or powder coating to a target surface. This method offers several benefits compared to traditional painting techniques: 

1. Enhanced Adhesion: Electrostatic painting creates a strong bond between the paint particles and the target surface due to the electrostatic charge. The charged particles are attracted to the surface, ensuring even coverage and reducing the likelihood of peeling or chipping over time.

2. Reduced Overspray: Electrostatic paint application significantly reduces overspray compared to conventional painting methods. The charged particles are attracted to the target surface, minimizing wastage and improving overall paint efficiency.

3. Uniform Coating: The electrostatic process ensures an even and uniform coating across the entire surface, including hard-to-reach areas or complex shapes, which may be difficult to achieve with traditional methods.

4. Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial setup for electrostatic painting equipment might be higher, the reduced paint wastage and increased efficiency lead to cost savings in the long run. Additionally, the enhanced adhesion and durability of the paint can result in longer-lasting finishes, reducing the need for frequent repainting.

5. Environmentally Friendly: Electrostatic painting generates less air pollution compared to conventional painting, as it produces fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Additionally, the reduced overspray means less paint is wasted and fewer harmful chemicals are released into the environment.

6. Faster Drying Time: Electrostatically applied paint often dries faster than traditional paint, which can improve productivity and reduce the risk of dust or debris sticking to the fresh paint.

7. Versatility: Electrostatic painting can be used on various materials, including metals, plastics, wood, and more. It is suitable for a wide range of industries, from automotive and aerospace to furniture and appliances.

8. Reduced Health Risks: By minimizing overspray and VOC emissions, electrostatic painting can create a safer working environment for painters and reduce potential health risks associated with inhaling paint fumes.

 

Why use Electrostatic Paint?

The paint will penetrate through into the metal instead of just covering the surface of the metal. The electrostatic application system is the only way to refinish existing on site architectural aluminum and decorative metal back to a once again new product finish.

What can be painted?

Steel doors, Windows, Lockers, Stables, Patio furniture, Railings, Perimeter fences, Garden fences, Gates, – Window guards, Garage doors, Pool fences, Chain link fences, Shutters, among others. 

Exterior – We recommend and commonly use our two-component urethane enamel paint specially formulated for use with electrostatic spray equipment. This urethane enamel offers exceptional gloss retention and weatherability equal to 3 or 4 times that of conventional high grade enamels. It is resistant to gasoline, hydraulic fluids, liquid coolants and most chemical fumes or spills with a heat resistance to 3000F. Our urethane enamel is perfect for wrought iron, fences, tanks, metal enclosures, trailers, recreational equipment, awnings and hundreds of other items exposed to the elements.

 Primer – When needed, we most often use a two-component epoxy primer, formulated to provide outstanding adhesion, toughness and flexibility with a highly effective rust inhibitor.​​
