Marine Powder Coating

Superior Protection in the Harshest Outdoor Environments

Our recently expanded powder coating capabilities enable us to take on even more custom metal fabrication and enclosure finishing projects where environmental protection is critical. 

The fact is, few other fabricators offer marine powder coating at all - let alone marine powder coating capabilities as extensive as ours. That's because of the relatively complex four-step process involved:

Step 1. The metal fabrication or enclosure is chemically pre-treated to promote better powder coating adhesion.

Step 2. A base coat - an epoxy primer - is applied.

Step 3: The base coat is partially cured in our bake oven.

Step 4: A top coat - a highly heat-, chemical-, corrosion, and fade-resistant marine-grade powder coating - is applied and fully cured.

The equipment we use to apply our marine powder coating is state-of-the-art and highly efficient, enabling us to pass great savings on to you.

With marine powder coating, we offer you ...

  • superior color matching
  • assistance in the development of specifications for your products
  • logistics assistance, from coordination to implementation

Rest assured, our powder coating process is environmentally safe. We spray only high-solids coatings, in compliance with strict EPA regulations. So we're not only a great supplier, we're also a good neighbor.
