Powder coating specialists providing unique + consistent colour finishes to architectural metals

Powder coating is the process of spraying powder onto metal to provide a highly protective and versatile metal finishing solution The powder is paint in dry form and is sprayed onto specially prepared metal (aluminium, galvanized steel and mild steel) at our state-of-the-art plant in Corby.

We use only premium architectural polyester powder coatings from highly regarded manufacturers. 

Pre-treatment prepares the metal surface for powder coating and is the most important stage in the powder coating process. Contaminants and oxidation on the surface of the metal must be removed in order to achieve a successful finish.

As well as cleaning, the pre-treatment process prepares the metal for corrosion protection and for adhesion of the powder coating layer. Our process is automated and chrome-free with low environmental impact. 

Your metal can be stripped on our site where we have invested over £140K in the latest paint stripping equipment to remove paint and polyester powder coating. The process is chemical, not thermal and there is no heat distortion of the metal, simply a clean finish ready for re-painting.

Expensive stocks of material can be refurbished or completely rebranded as the base metal is restored close to its original condition. 

Galvanizing is specified for enhanced protection of mild steel for the external environment. A layered structure of zinc forms on the steel, providing long-lasting corrosion protection. We work closely with you to ensure the design optimizes the corrosion protection and the powder coated finish.

Powdertech offers 25 year guarantees for powder coating on galvanized steel.

Shot blasting with a high-speed stream of abrasive particles is used to improve the surface condition of steel – this will include cleaning, roughening or polishing the surface. 

We use the best recommended methods for different grades of steel, applied under ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Approval. 

Our mission is to make your life easier as you work on your project.
