1. What is powder coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that involves applying a fine powder to a metal surface, which is then cured under heat to create a hard, durable finish. It offers superior protection against corrosion, scratches, and fading compared to traditional liquid paint.

2. What types of materials can be powder coated?
Powder coating is primarily used on metal surfaces such as steel, aluminium, and iron. However, it can also be applied to other conductive materials that can withstand the high temperatures of the curing process.

3. How durable is powder coating?
Powder coating is highly durable and resistant to chipping, scratching, and corrosion. It provides long-lasting protection, especially for items exposed to harsh environments, heavy use, or the elements.

4. Can you match specific colours for my project?
Yes, we offer a wide range of colours and can match specific shades to meet your design requirements. We also provide various textures and finishes, from matte to high-gloss, to achieve the exact look you want.

5. Do you offer powder coating for mass production?
Absolutely! Irish Powder Coating specialises in high-volume powder coating for mass-manufactured parts. We have the capacity to handle large quantities while ensuring consistent quality across all units.

6. How do you ensure the quality of the powder coating?
All coated parts undergo rigorous testing in our onsite laboratory. We perform checks for adhesion, durability, and finish consistency to ensure that every piece meets our strict quality standards before it leaves our facility.

7. What is the typical turnaround time for a powder coating project?
Turnaround time depends on the size and complexity of the project. For small or custom jobs, it could take a few days, while larger or mass-production orders may require more time. We strive to meet your deadlines and will provide an estimated timeline when you request a quote.

8. Can powder coating be applied to items that are already painted or coated?
Yes, but the existing coating must be removed first. We offer sandblasting and other surface preparation services to ensure the surface is clean and ready for the new powder coating.

9. Is powder coating environmentally friendly?
Yes, powder coating is an environmentally friendly process. It contains no solvents, produces minimal waste, and the overspray can often be recycled. Additionally, it emits fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to traditional liquid paints.

10. How do I maintain powder-coated surfaces?
Powder-coated surfaces are low maintenance. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is usually sufficient to keep them looking new. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.

11. Do you offer custom powder coating for unique projects?
Yes, we provide custom powder coating services for a variety of projects, including artistic pieces, furniture, and decorative items. We work closely with you to achieve the exact look and durability you need.
