SHOT BLASTING:-
Shot blasting is a process in which an abrasive material is forced through a jet nozzle using compressed air pressure. This creates a fast and effective way of cleaning or preparing ferrous metals for powder coating or wet spraying.
It can remove paint, rust and scale on mild steel and iron components.
Light blasting can also be undertaken on aluminium and stainless steel parts to remove old paint or give a key for wet-spraying or powder coating. (For more delicate items Bead blasting can be used).
SHOT BLASTING FACILITIES
20 Containerised shot blasting facility using chilled iron grit as the blast media, ideal for preparing new metal and for stripping old paint and rust.
Can handle items up to 2.1 x 2.1 x 4.4 metres. (7 x 7 x 146)
BEAD BLASTING
For blasting of aluminium or delicate components such as engine parts using glass beads. To be used when no ferrous contamination onto the prepared surface is wanted.
POWDER COATING:-
Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to a wide range of materials and products that are used by both industries and consumers.
The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment, fillers, binders and resins, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality, and attractive finish.
The advantages of powder coating over wet paint finishes include:
A beautiful durable uniform quality finish without paint runs.
The electrostatic powder process ensures complete coverage, even on complex shapes such as castings.
Cost efficient, even on small batches or single items.
Quicker turnaround times.
Corrosion resistance.
Choice of finishes including clear, plain colour, metallic and textured.
Exceptional gloss and colour retention.
Applicable to steel, aluminium, cast iron, brass and zinc.
Robust mechanical and chemical performance - good at resisting abrasion, acids, solvents etc.
POWDER COATING FACILITIES & SERVICES
Box oven capacity: 2.1 x 2.1 x 4.6 metres. (7 x 7 x 15)
Ideal for large awkward items, sheet metal, and heavy work as well as higher volume jobs such as brackets, machined components and castings. Oven is Gas fired up to 220oC with temperature control and time cycle for long bakes.
Polyester Coatings
We carry out polyester powder coating in a wide range of colours, thickness and textures to customer specification. Polyester coatings are suited to indoor and outdoor use and possess high resistance to weathering as well as elevated temperatures. All polyester powder coatings are applied over a pre-treated surface which ensures a tough and flexible finish resistant to cracking and flaking.
Epoxy Polyester Coatings
Epoxy polyester powder coatings provide a high performance finish with good chemical resistance and colour stability. Epoxy polyester is designed for indoor use in factory and process environments or applications subject to enhanced corrosion resistance.
Corrosion Resistant Coatings
We offer a specialist zinc rich powder coating as a primer for high level corrosive environments and applications where an extended life expectancy of the surface coating is required. The specialist powder coating system offers up increased performance protection in most types of light industrial applications, urban & industrial environments.
Primers
We offer a primer only service for jobs that do not require a full finish or where items will be assembled and finished elsewhere. We offer zinc phosphate and epoxy primers in single and two pack finishes. All primer coatings are available with an optional shot blast service.
