Powder coating

Kesseböhmer has many years of expertise and extensive know-how in the field of surface finishing.
‍
Our state-of-the-art powder coating systems can coat both small parts and large parts up to a length of 3,000 mm, depending on the width (to be determined on a product-specific basis), and a height of 2,000 mm. We can handle components weighing up to 10 kg. Our powder coating systems can reliably process material thicknesses of up to 6 mm.

Professional powder coating for commerce and industry is a corrosion-resistant and decorative process for metal finishing and metal coating.

In addition to powder coating, we also offer cathodic dip coating and electroplating. Simply get in touch with us.

What exactly is powder coating?

Powder coating is a surface finishing process that has two main functions: decorative and/or functional. In electrostatic powder coating, electrically conductive construction materials aluminum and steel are coated with powder paint. Here's how es works: The powder coatings are applied to the workpieces using spray guns via an electrostatic or similar process, where they melt under the influence of heat and cross-link to form an impact- and scratch-resistant surface. During this process, a chemical reaction takes place in which the coating acquires its optimal properties. This creates decorative and mechanically resilient coatings on metal parts, which later give buildings, machine components, or vehicles their distinctive appearance. By adjusting the composition of the color powders, a variety of surface effects are possible, such as smooth, fine or coarse textures, and matte or glossy finishes.

Why powder coating?

Powder coatings provide a robust and versatile surface finish. They offer excellent application possibilities while maintaining high-quality standards. For example, they prevent the formation of streaks, bubbles, and drips.
In addition, powder coating offers high resistance to mechanical stress, and thanks to this surface protection, cracks occur significantly less frequently. Modern powder coatings can be formulated to provide the highest level of corrosion protection, making them durable and versatile. Special pigments ensure maximum UV stability and color fastness. The powder coating takes a long time to cure completely and can therefore withstand the elements for extended periods, offering high corrosion protection.

The following materials can be coated:

- Steel
- Galvanized steel
- Aluminium
- Components already CDC-coated (duplex coating)

Advantages of powder coating:

• Solvent-free coating process
• Resource-efficient and cost-effective due to high material yield
• Decorative, corrosion- and UV-resistant, and mechanically durable surface
• Available in any color and gloss level
