Coating Non Metal Objects

[freight_train New User Find all posts View Profile Close freight_train]

Recently, I asked the founder "can non metallic objects be powder coated"?
His very speedy response was, "Yes, ( and no)

The technique seems to be to raise the temp to around 200 f, and them
powdercoat it.

I'd suggest you post this on the forum. I'm sure a few of our guys are
tinkering with this."

Thx Mike

I've done it before but it cracks and peels off very easily atleast on plastics

Re: Coating Non Metal Objects

There are a few posts on the forum about this already.

Our Tiger-Drylac rep suggests misting plastic parts in a very fine water mist, then spraying. The water helps give the parts an electrical charge - but the parts still have to withstand the cure temp.

MDF parts contain enough water to be able to be powder coated, but again, the parts need to withstand the cure.

There are low temp curing powders out there - but we don't have any.

If enough people express an interest, we might be willing to give some low cure powder a try.
