Powder coating of metals – durable, robust, customized

WF Mechanik provides professional powder coating as an integrated finishing step for parts requiring lasting protection and a compelling look. From aluminum profiles and stainless housings to chrome-plated parts—we deliver tough, uniform surfaces with the right color, texture, and protection for every application.

What is powder coating?

An electrostatic process applies dry powder to conductive materials, then cures it in an oven. The result: scratch-resistant, chemical-resistant, UV-stable surfaces—ideal where components face mechanical or environmental stress.

Perfect finish via defined processes & test standards

We start with professional pretreatment—pickling, phosphating, or blasting—for optimal adhesion and long-term corrosion resistance. Quality is checked to international standards with film-thickness measurements, adhesion tests, and UV exposure tests.

Powder coating aluminum & more

Suitable for a wide range of metals:

  • Aluminum: lightweight builds with high corrosion demands (e.g., housings, frames, visible parts)
  • Steel: robust for indoor/outdoor use; optional pre-galvanizing for extra protection
  • Stainless steel: for decorative or hygiene-critical applications—visually premium, technically sound
  • Chrome-plated parts: possible under defined pretreatment to ensure adhesion

Colors, textures, and gloss levels

When it comes to color selection, (almost) anything is possible: from classic RAL shades to custom colors in matte, semi-gloss, or high-gloss finishes.
Structured or metallic surfaces can also be achieved.
Depending on the application, coating thicknesses range from 60–120 µm and are applied evenly — ensuring a clean, aesthetic result with high repeat accuracy.

Wet paint or powder? At a glance

Wet painting uses liquid coatings that air-dry or bake—great for special effects, thin films, and complex geometries.


 

Powder coating applies dry powder electrostatically and bakes it—creating tough, solvent-free layers ideal for outdoor use and series production.

Wet paint = maximum visual flexibility; powder = greater robustness and eco-friendliness. The right choice depends on material, environment, and design.
