A Shining Guide to Metal Finishes: Because Plain Metal Deserves a Makeover Too!

When it comes to metal, the finish isn’t just about looks; it’s a game-changer. Finishing adds personality, resilience, and even a bit of sass to metal pieces. From glossy, mirror-like effects to rugged, industrial textures, metal finishes have a knack for taking things up a notch. If you’re curious about what different types of metal finishes can do, buckle up and prepare to see metal like never before!

SANDBLASTING – ZINC SPRAYING – POWDER COATING

The combination of sandblasting, zinc spraying, and powder coating is a highly effective finishing process for outdoor furniture. It involves three key stages, each designed to maximize durability and rust resistance. Here’s how each step works:

 Sandblasting: Abrasive particles clean the metal surface, removing rust and impurities to create a rough texture that improves adhesion.

Zinc Spraying: A layer of molten zinc is sprayed onto the metal, forming a protective, anti-corrosive coating that resists rust.

Powder Coating: An electrostatically charged powder is applied, then cured in an oven. This creates a durable, UV-resistant finish available in many colors.

Together, these steps ensure outdoor furniture is both highly durable and resistant to weathering

HOT-DIP GALVANIZATION

Metal is dipped into molten zinc, forming a thick, corrosion-resistant coating. This method provides long-lasting rust protection, making it ideal for furniture exposed to moisture or coastal environments.

HOT-DIP GALVANIZATION AND POWDER COATING

The combination of hot-dip galvanization and powder coating is especially effective for outdoor furniture, providing robust rust resistance and a durable finish.

Benefits of This Combination

· Enhanced Durability: The galvanization layer provides a deep level of rust protection, while powder coating adds a hard-wearing, attractive finish.

· Long-Lasting: Ideal for outdoor settings, this combination withstands harsh weather and corrosion better than either method alone.

This pairing is commonly used for outdoor furniture that must endure long-term exposure to the elements.

E-COATING (ELECTROPHORETIC COATING)

A process where furniture is submerged in a bath of paint particles that are electrically charged, forming an even coating. E-coating is commonly used as a primer under powder coating, providing an additional layer of rust protection, especially for complex or hollow designs.
