Powder Coating 11 Step Powder Coating Process 3 MasterHalco.com | 888-MH-Fence Pre-treatment All Colonial Aluminum® fences are given a 9-step pre-treatment process that cleans and prepares the aluminum to assure complete adhesion of the powder coating. Powder Coating Testing Ten pre-treat system titration checks twice per shift maintain system parameters, and ten QC checks are completed every hour on product coming off the production line. Step 1 Our raw premium grade aluminum is inspected to be free of blemishes and is not exposed to outdoor elements. Step 2 Product enters heated alkaline cleaner stage to remove extrusion and fabrication oils. Step 3 City water rinse. Step 4 Step 5 Recycling reverse osmosis water rinse. Pure reverse osmosis water rinse. Step 6 Primer/sealer conversion coating which provides a strong adhesion of coating to the aluminum. Step 7 Pure reverse osmosis water rinse. Final rinse is of the same quality as bottled drinking water. Clean water removes contaminates which will hinder coating performance. Step 8 A 200 MPH air blast removes water drops from the pre-treated product. Step 9 A convection oven completes the dry-off process for a clean dry surface to powder coat. Step 10 Powder application is automated. Compressed process air is dried to -35°F Dew Point for superior adhesion and aesthetics. The powder booth contains powder coating overspray with no emissions to the surrounding environment. Step 11 The final step of the powder coating process is the cure oven where the powder coating gels and bonds to the aluminum. Automated Chemical Test – Pre-treatment chemicals are monitored and added automatically System Titration Test – Ph levels are checked twice per shift as part of the pre-treatment titration testing Cure Oven Temperature Test – Ensures proper curing of powder coating Coating Thickness Test – Coating thickness is measured and plotted every hour ASTM D3359 Crosshatch Test – Hourly crosshatch testing is done to test coating adhesion PCI#8 Solvent Cure Test – Solvent testing is completed every hour to test for complete cure
