POWDER COATING
At L.E.F., INC. Powder coating is typically the finalizing process of part production; however, we also offer contract powder coating for parts or products that are customer supplied.
Powder Coating is a finish that is more durable and chip-resistant than traditional paint. We can apply powder coating to a wide range of materials in a variety of applications. L.E.F., INC.’s powder coating process consists of spraying finely ground particles of pigment and resin which are electrostatically charged onto an electrically grounded metallic part. This allows the charged, dry particles to adhere to the part until it is heated. The heat causes the particles to “gel” into a smooth, consistent and uniform finish. The end result is an attractive, durable, and high-quality finish that is available in a full spectrum of colors, clear coats and textures.
