Zinc alloys offer multiple benefits in manufacturing and die casting, but even with their natural properties, they often require a protective finish coat against wear and corrosion.
Powder coating is an ideal solution, and it’s suitable for application on zinc products of virtually any shape or size. At Keystone Koating, we have the skill and experience needed to powder coat zinc alloy products with the capabilities to handle large-volume projects. We follow a tailored and cost-effective process to achieve your desired results and match specifications.
Powder coating zinc alloy products is advantageous from a durability and corrosion resistance standpoint. You’ll find our powder coating adheres to surfaces, leaving a tough finish behind. Our professionals recommend powder coating zinc alloy materials to create surfaces that resist scratches and blemishes. After powder coating treatments, surfaces can work in demanding conditions, such as in outdoor environments.
Zinc alloys do a solid job of resisting corrosion, but a powder coat treatment provides additional peace of mind. The powder deposition process makes it possible to treat hard-to-reach surfaces, which is essential when products will be exposed to harsh chemicals or moving components.
We serve a wide range of professionals, but automotive and construction companies especially prefer zinc alloy powder coating for the surface bonds that can potentially extend the lifespan of original components.
Blasting is essential before powder coating zinc to remove die release agents and residues, including rust, scale, oil and welding ash. Removing surface residues helps promote strong adhesion and prevents coating failures.

Our eight-stage pretreatment system includes deep cleaning and the application of sealants to strengthen the powder coat bond. We also perform microscopic scoring of the surface to promote a better grip.
Explore Our Pretreatment Process
We’ll apply a primer compatible with the composition of your metal surface, preventing natural and galvanic corrosion and increasing coating adhesion. Our primers also add an extra layer of protection against wear.
Explore Our Capabilities & Process
Powder coating involves the use of an electrostatic charge for a full and even application. We’ll ground your products and apply charged powders that attract to your surfaces and cling there until they’re fully cured and ready for inspection.
Explore Our Capabilities & Process
To ensure a proper cure, we’ll take the powder and millage into account as well as your product dimensions, specifications and quantity per batch. After calculating the ideal time and temperature for a perfect cure, we’ll closely monitor the batch until curing is complete.
Explore Our Capabilities & Process
All powder coated items in our facility undergo rigorous quality assurance testing by our trained inspectors. We’ll compare your finished products with your original specifications to be sure the adhesion, thickness, texture, color and cure pass our demanding standards.

Products made from zinc alloy provide a perfect surface for powder coating and form an excellent bond. Like other metals, zinc alloys see positive results from powder coating when combined with professional surface preparation.
Zinc die-cast products have a release agent left on them from the foundry that must be removed mechanically prior to coating. To prepare zinc for powder coating, we recommend blasting, pretreatment and a coat of specialized primer paint. Effective surface preparation prevents outgassing, pinholes, problems with adhesion and other common issues.
Keystone Koating follows a careful process for powder coating services so that you see the results you’re looking for. Powder coats on alloys can last 20 years or more when they are in controlled environments. Frequent cleaning and surface maintenance are essential in maximizing the life of our coatings.
