- Superior corrosion and UV protection
- Wide range of colors and finishes available
- Environmentally friendly with no volatile organic compounds
What is Powder Coating?
Advanced Aluminum Finishing Process
Powder coating is a superior finishing method that applies dry powder electrostatically to aluminum surfaces. The coated part is then heated in an oven where the powder melts and fuses into a smooth, durable finish.
- Electrostatic application ensures even coverage
- Heat curing creates molecular bonding with aluminum
- No liquid solvents - environmentally friendly process
- Superior adhesion compared to liquid paints
- Uniform thickness and professional appearance
Step 1: Surface Preparation
Aluminum surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and chemically treated to ensure optimal powder adhesion and long-lasting results.
Step 2: Electrostatic Application
Charged powder particles are attracted to grounded aluminum parts, creating uniform coverage even on complex shapes and profiles.
Step 3: Heat Curing
Parts are heated to 180-200°C where powder melts and cross-links into a hard, protective finish that bonds permanently to aluminum.
Powder Coating Benefits for Philippine Climate
Weather Resistance
Philippine tropical conditions demand superior protection. Powder coating provides exceptional resistance to the challenges of local climate.

Powder Coating FAQ Philippines
What is powder coating for aluminum?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that applies electrostatically charged powder to aluminum surfaces, then cures it with heat to create a durable, protective finish that resists corrosion, UV rays, and weathering.
How long does powder coating last in Philippine climate?
Quality powder coating can last 15-20 years in Philippine tropical climate when properly applied. It provides excellent resistance to humidity, salt air, and UV exposure common in the Philippines.
What colors are available for powder coating in Philippines?
We offer a wide range of powder coating colors including standard RAL colors, custom colors, metallic finishes, textured surfaces, and architectural-grade coatings specifically designed for Philippine building applications.
Is powder coating environmentally friendly?
Yes, powder coating is environmentally friendly as it contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), produces minimal waste, and excess powder can be reclaimed and reused, making it ideal for sustainable construction in the Philippines.
How does powder coating compare to anodizing for Philippine applications?
Powder coating offers more color options and slightly longer durability (15-20 years) compared to anodizing (10-15 years). Both provide excellent corrosion resistance, but powder coating is better for projects requiring specific colors or textures.
