Protective Powder Coating Pty Ltd is a fully integrated business of Protective Group focusing on both in house powder coating for Protective Fencing and Protective Wire Mesh Industries as well as offering powder coating services to an extensive range of commercial customers.

Our dual batch and in-line systems provide the capacity to coat a wide range of sizes and quantities.

BENEFITS OF POWDER COATING

Environmental – powder coatings generally produce no volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and most powder coatings are free of any heavy metals or other hazardous materials.

Consistent Quality – powder coatings eliminate need for solvent mixing or colour tinting providing consistent colour matching and more efficient application.

Easy to Apply – powder coatings are applied in a single application without drips runs or sags. If a problem is detected before the part enters the oven the powder can easily be removed and re-applied.

Superior Performance – powder coatings are generally harder and offer improved impact, abrasion, chemical resistance, and superior weatherability over most liquid coatings.

Safety – powder coatings have far less risk of fire and explosion as compared to liquid solvent paints – download the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Specifications – Steel fencing components supplied by Protective Fencing are powder coated in accordance with AS/NZS 4506-2005 Metal Finishing – Thermoset Powder Coatings.

PERFORMANCE

Unlike solvent based wet paint systems, powder coating is an environmentally friendly process which provides a durable finish that is resistant to cracking and peeling when the surface is treated and the powder is applied correctly.

While powder coatings are considered extremely resilient because of their excellent chip resistance, hardness and or chemical resistance there are many aspects to consider when determining the longevity of powder coatings including the nature of the application and the surrounding environment. Salt, pollution and general deposits will effect the lifespan of the product and it is suggested that you follow a maintenance program to assist the longevity of the coating.
