Powder Coating


Powder coating is an electrostatic process generally used as an industrial metal finish mainly on industrial equipment to protect it against corrosion. This type of coating protects your equipment against rust accumulation by forming a protective layer above the surface of the equipment against the effects of moisture, weathering, and abrasion. It's well-known for giving high-quality finishes both in terms of appearance and performance. Basically, it's a paint application with an electrochemical reaction that forms a protective coating on exposed metal surfaces.


When you speak of powder-coated finishes, there are three major types - spray coating, liquid coating and paint coating. In addition to these three types, there are also several applications such as spot finishing, electroplating, and hot lamination. Powder coated parts are used not only on industrial equipment but also in household items like cookware. Some of the most common equipment powder coated finishes are stainless steel appliances, copper pipes, aluminum pots and pans, and brass knobs and handles.


One major advantage of using this type of coating is that it allows for flexibility since it's possible to create different thicknesses of coatings by varying the number of coats and mixing the chemicals and dyes. Moreover, the thickness can be adjusted without causing too much heat or damage to the object since it can be evenly mixed between the layers. The types of coating that you can use are highly flexible since it allows for easy application and even finishing. Another advantage is that it offers high chemical resistance and is very durable since it's formed with a bonding agent rather than a conventional paint. Lastly, because it offers high chemical resistance and durability, it's the perfect choice if you want to provide protection to your investment.


Rust Removal by Soda Blasting


Soda blasting is a new process for surface rust, paint and mild rust removal which is slowly gaining in popularity. Unlike sandblasting, soda blasting utilises sodium bicarbonate to strip off epoxy finishes from a metal surface without creating damage. Sandblasting is usually the preferred method for removing unwanted material from a metal surface without inflicting damage. It is also used for removing stickers from cars, sanding rough surfaces, and restoring stained glass. There are many reasons for using soda blasting as opposed to sandblasting. For instance, sandblasting can remove an entire bumper from one piece of metal while soda blasting can remove the bumper from only one piece.


Another advantage to using soda blasting over sandblasting is that it is a water-soluble product which makes it easier to clean up your work area. The product penetrates deeply into the metal allowing the abrasive particles to work their way out of the metal. This is opposed to sandblasting where the abrasive particles still have a chance to enter the metal during the sandblasting process. This is also true of other metal materials including stainless steel, which can become scratched or dented when metal objects are used to sand the material.


Many people use the sandblast method for restoring old painted or powder-coated metal surfaces. These types of coatings are prone to chipping over time due to exposure to the elements. In addition, chipped areas of these types of coatings will generally appear duller than their intact counterparts due to scratching or marks. By using a sandblasting machine, you can restore your damaged surfaces to near perfect condition that they once were. Other popular applications include sanding newer vehicles and restoring the lustre to old paints. The silica sandblasting process is especially beneficial to automotive shops as the abrasives will remove old rust and buildup from the surfaces that are sandblasted.


  • How much does it cost to sandblast?

    Small items such as radiators, car parts  or furniture can cost less than £100.


    The average cost of sandblating the exterior face of a house is £700 and wet sandblasting a house costs on average £2300.

  • Is sandblasting illegal in the UK?

    The legality of sandblasting in the UK may be an issue for some applications. For instance, some companies may want to create an "artistic" sandblasting sand blasting factory in order to provide their customers with an alternative method of creating sandblasted products. However, these companies may not be aware that they are breaking some laws within the UK if they are not seeking a licensed professional to sandblast steel or concrete by the correct methods.


    While the original regulations did not specify any requirements for operators, they were rather specific regarding who could become involved in the process. For example, only people working in an approved steel finishing company were permitted to participate in it. Additionally, only people who held a valid license for the steel finishing industry were allowed to work in the industry, even if they did not carry out sandblasting directly.


    The original regulations were never meant to apply to sandblasting, but because the industry is now expanding significantly it has been changed to include this activity. Even though some requirements still exist, many businesses and individuals have become eligible to participate in sandblasting activities. Therefore, the question of the legality of sandblasting in the UK is not necessarily as clear cut as many may think. It will, however, continue to be a topic of great interest until further legislation can be developed.

  • How much is sandblasting UK?

    Prices vary depending on the applcation. For example, small automotive parts and accessories can be sandblasted for less than £100; at the other end of the scale, wet sandblasting a residential property is an average of £2300.

  • Why is sandblasting so expensive?

    In a nutshell, the equipment is expensive, conditions need to be controlled for the best results and professionals are highly skilled.


    If you are an individual wanting to get into the sandblasting industry, whether it be in domestic or commercial applications, you will need to be aware of the start up costs. In order to answer that question you first have to understand what makes sandblasting so costly to purchase in the first place. Sandblasting equipment can be very costly, and the price of sandblasting equipment can increase with how complicated a system you have when it comes to adding in sandblasting accessories such as blowers and other such things. There are several different types of sandblasting equipment on the market today, with different capabilities and price ranges, so before deciding to purchase, it is important to know what your options are and how much each option will end up costing you.
