What are you looking for?
Businesses need powder coating that meets demanding performance requirements, and the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) sets the bar with strict standards for the powder coating industry.
At Keystone Koating, we are proud to be recognized by the AAMA as an industry-compliant powder coating company that delivers high-quality results. Our team has earned AAMA 2605 and 2605 certifications in powder coating, demonstrating our capabilities to work in any setting.
Powder manufacturers and application facilities that pass AAMA testing are awarded verification, with the appropriate verification level based on the testing results. At Keystone Koating, we are a certified applicator of powder manufactured in compliance with AAMA 2604 and 2605 standards. We maintain two high-volume facilities that can deliver the highest levels of quality for surface preparation and coating.
Our AAMA Certifications for powder coating include:
Cerification for high-performance powders. After lab testing, coatings submitted for AAMA 2604 verification are subjected to 5 years of exposure to the harsh Florida climate. After a minimum of 3000 hours of exposure to humidity and corrosive salt spray, AAMA experts evaluate the panels for erosion, quality, color retention and more.
The highest certification attainable, reserved for powders with a superior performance rating. The most recent guidelines require test panels to withstand 10 years of exposure to the elements with minimal wear. Under AAMA 2605 17A guidelines, panels must meet a minimum of 2000 hours of corrosion exposure and 4000 hours of resistance in humid environments.
The AAMA, which recently combined with the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) to become the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA), is a trade organization that promotes a higher standard of quality to ensure coated products meet stringent design specifications. In architectural and building applications, these standards are essential, and partnering with a provider committed to meeting them will ensure your powder coating job meets your expectations.
The AAMA puts powder coats through a series of tests to determine durability after exposure to a wide range of harsh conditions. These include tests in a controlled environment and prolonged exposure to severe Florida weather for real-world evaluation after exposure to salt, hail, rain and ultraviolet light. AAMA powder coating specifications and testing also includes checking for cure, hardness and adhesion. These tests also evaluate coatings for resistance to:
Application facilities must meet additional standards for verification. The AAMA powder coating process must include steps for adequate surface preparation for a complete and even coat during application. Appearance is also a factor. Facilities must produce an aesthetically pleasing finished product that has no visible imperfections at a minimum distance of 9 feet.
Keystone Koating now offers up to a 20-year limited warranty on approved AAMA 2605 projects. KEYCOAT20 is perfect for architectural metal applications, including curtain wall, exterior cladding, panels, windows, doors and extrusions. KEYCOAT20 is an eco-friendly option to wet paint. Powder Coating does not contain solvents that produce hazardous Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
AAMA powder coating finishes are a staple in the architectural industry, which requires that its materials and finishes meet strict durability standards.
Quality AAMA coatings can also help facilities earn a highly sought after LEED certification, which provide a range of benefits for the environment and the structure itself. Keystone Koating can help you reach that milestone!
We combine our AAMA-recognized expertise with the latest technology to deliver superior adhesion for your selected powder coat. We make it easy to get large volume powder coatings in the color, texture and thickness you want, with fast lead times and attention to detail.

Pretreatment cleans and prepares your surfaces to ensure your primers and powders make an effective bond with your metal surfaces. Pretreatment is a powder coating cleaning process, designed to prepare surfaces through the application of various treatments. Together, these treatments make sure your surfaces are free from residue and enhances them for a better appearance and lasting durability.
At Keystone Koating, we offer a proprietary 8-Step pretreatment process to ensure your metal surfaces are clear of any contaminants and optimized for powder coating. To clean your products, we use a wide range of solvents and techniques, rinse at multiple stages and immediately dry them to prevent corrosion. We offer several conversion coatings for greater adherence with primers and powders.

Blasting is a cost-effective technique for preparing surfaces for a smooth finish and strong bond. We use professional abrasives blasting to remove anything that could interfere with the powder coating process, including rust, oil, welding ash, laser scale, mill scale, and more.
Removing these residues to create an even surface helps prevent cracking, bubbling and moisture buildup in your finished product. Blasting also roughens metal surfaces at the micro level to promote a strong bond with primers and powders.
Depending on your needs, we offer two abrasives to choose from:
If you want to improve the quality of your powder coat, upgrade to our Super Durable powder. Super Durable powder is made for use in harsh climates and demanding environments.
This powder enhances your finish with improved resistance to ultraviolet (UV) light and excellent protection from corrosion. Upgrading is easy, and Super Durable powder is available in an array of stock colors.
