Mill finish Aluminium needs a chemical etch for powder coat to adhere to the surface. Accent Powdercoaters works exclusively with Chemetall who assist with regulating and managing our chemical concentration to maximise performance.

While powder coat can be applied it is certainly not recommended over white rust. Mill finish aluminium exhibiting white rust/corrosion cannot be chemically pre-treated and may require sandblasting or preferably replacement to maximise the finish/adhesion.

We strongly recommend that all black mild steel is sandblasted to remove millscale and rust, prior to zinc priming and powder coating.

For blue painted mild steel the primer coat should also be removed via manual preparation or sandblasting prior to zinc priming and powdercoating. If the blue painted mild steel primer is not removed it can bleed through lighter colours and also cause the coating to delaminate.

There are two types of Galvanising that we can powder coat.

DuraGal or Pre-Gal – this is straightforward and can be chemically cleaned in our process, primed and powder coated.

Hot Dipped Galvanised (HDG) – this product needs to be degassed and epoxy primed, prior to powder coating. The galvanised surface is commonly rough/textured by nature and this will show through the powder coat surface. Additionally, neither Accent Powdercoaters or the powder manufacturers, can guarantee against flaking, chipping and corrosion on this substrate

Stainless steel can be powder coated but requires a whip blast first to create a mechanical etch, before being epoxy primed and powder coated.

Many pre-painted materials are coated in a ‘wet spray’ or automotive paint. This is not designed to withstand the heat associated with powder coat curing (around 200 degrees Celsius) and will blister, flake and ultimately fail. This should be removed via chemical stripping or sandblasting prior to priming and powder coating.

Powder coated items can be re-coated, however, the finish can be compromised due to the high build up resulting in ‘orange peel’ and an uneven textures. Additionally, the original pre-treatment process is commonly not known so we cannot guarantee adequate adhesion to the substrate.

In our oversize Batch Booth we can powdercoat items of 8m long by 2.8m height and 2.5m wide
