Zinc Alloy Powder Coating

Zinc Alloy Powder Coating Experts

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

Why Choose Powder Coating for Zinc Alloy Products?

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.

Our Process for Powder Coating Zinc Alloy

At Keystone Koating, we can develop custom powder coating processes based on your project specifications. Depending on the composition of the metal, the product dimensions, the powder choice and other features unique to your order, we’ll tailor our zinc powder coating process to include the following procedures.

Abrasive Blasting

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.

8-Stage Pretreatment

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.

Primer Application

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.

Common Questions About Zinc Alloy Powder Coatings

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.
