All About Powder Coated Steel
After looking through our metal brackets and shelving, you might be wondering, what is powder coating?
Powder coating is like the superhero of finishes, especially when it comes to metal hardware.
It is a common, professional method of applying a protective finish to a wide range of metal products, including shelf brackets and hardware. It give metal a strong, durable shield that stands the test of time.
Powder Coating Process
The actual powder coating process involves spraying metal parts with an electro-statically charged powder. The powder sticks to the metal, and when heated in our large oven, it melts, flows, and hardens into a durable uniform finish.
This tough exterior resists scratches, fading, chipping, and corrosion. It's like the armor your shelf brackets and hardware deserve.
Eco-Friendly
Another cool thing – powder coating is eco-friendly. Unlike old-school liquid paints that create a mess and release nasty stuff into the air, powder coating is clean and green.
It barely generates waste and doesn't spew out volatile organic compounds (VOCs). So you're not just protecting your stuff; you're also choosing a more sustainable approach.
Powder Coated Colors
Here, at Cascade Iron Co., we use a variety of powder coating colors, including clear which create a transparent coating to dark, raw metal. We also have black, brass, white, and silver.
So, to sum it up, powder coating is the real deal. It's a long-lasting, eco-friendly, and stylish way to make your shelf brackets, shelving, and other hardware look and perform at their best.
Whether they're indoors or braving the elements outside, powder-coated metal pieces are here to stay and impress.
