POWER COATING ALUMINUM & METAL
Finishes that look so realistic you can’t believe it’s not wood.
Aluminum powder coating process start by applying a powder coating layer to an aluminum product by electrostatically charging the powder and spraying it onto the product. Decoral’s exclusive aluminum coating technology allows for detailed and vivid shapes and patterns. Most metals and heat-resistant materials can be decorated with various designs - from wood grain to custom picturesque compositions are available. The result is a material that is both durable and versatile, one that can be utilized for nearly any purpose. The best reason to use the powder painting process for aluminum coatings is that the product results are superior when aluminum and metal are used, compared to other materials.
Powder coating aluminum is simple to clean. This is especially true when compared to wood, because powder aluminum coatings do not require additional painting or staining. Powder coating of metal is a durable, high grade powder coating process resulting in a finished product that withstands harsh environmental conditions.These include extreme UV exposure, salt spray and
heavy pollution.
DECORAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
1. Having a conventional powder or wet coating plant
2. Purchasing powder coating supplies made and supplied by Decoral
3. Purchasing transfer films made and supplied byDecoral
4. Decoration equipment made and supplied byDecoral
5. Powder coating metal pre-treatment process
POWDER COATING METAL APPLICATION PROCESSES
Normally, powder coatings are applied to metal objects by spraying via an electrostatic gun. This tool adds a positive electric charge to the powder, which is then applied by air spraying with compressed air close the grounded object. Powered by the electrostatic charge, the sprayed powder is attracted toward the product, which is then heated in a curing oven. As a result, the powder melts into a uniform layer before being cooled to form a hard shell. Alternatively, one may heat the metal and then apply the powder onto the hot substrate by spraying without electricity. This method creates a uniform finish, resulting in the finest of decorative coatings.
PRE-TREATMENT
Prior to the actual decoral aluminium powder coating step, the metal or aluminum product must be thoroughly cleaned which typically starts by removing grease and existing coatings. It is essential to remove soil, metal oxides, oil, lubrication greases, etc. before moving forward with the metal powder coating process. This is accomplished by using any of a variety of chemical and mechanical methods, which depends on the product’s size and material, the type of material to be cleaned and the expected function of the finalized product. Different powder coating applications may require alternate preparation methods, which may include abrasive blasting
CURING PROCESS FOR POWDER COATINGS
Powder coatings require a specific curing process. Parts need to be exposed to a certain temperature for a specific duration in order to cure. This curing cycle crosslinks the powder develops the range of properties for which they were designed. The curing schedule will vary according to the manufacturer’s specifications of the product.
Next in the aluminum powder coating process, after the pre-treatment, powder painting and curing steps mentioned above, the product is placed in an advanced Decoral sublimation machine under vacuum where the transfer film with a design is applied on the part. Customers can select from in-house options or create a custom design for decoration.
Powder Coating Aluminum & Metal
Aluminum is known for its lightweight, malleable, tough, and corrosion-resistant properties. However, aluminum can be susceptible to scratches, warping, and corrosion, particularly when exposed to harsh conditions. That's where powder coating comes in.
Aluminum powder coatings involves applying dry powder that's electrostatically charged and spraying it onto the product. Whether you're looking to protect your aluminum products against the elements or enhance their appearance, powder coating is the solution.
At Decoral System, we take immense pride in providing top-notch powder coating services that combine durability, versatility, and beauty.

Why Choose Aluminum Powder Coatings?
Want to extend the lifespan of decoral aluminium and preserve its aesthetic appeal? Here's how powder coating can step in as the perfect solution:
Unmatched Durability
Powder coating creates a protective layer that shields decoral aluminium items from scratches, chemicals, and elements. Powder coating has great adhesion with aluminum which prevents delamination in time. This not only extends their lifespan but also ensures they retain their visual appeal for a long time.
Low Maintenance
Cleaning certain materials can be incredibly tedious. With powder coated aluminum, you won't have to fret about maintenance. Powder-coated aluminum surfaces are remarkably easy to clean and maintain compared to surfaces like wood.
Unlike wood surfaces, they don't require additional staining or painting. Simply wipe away dirt, dust, grime, and other stains with a gentle household cleaner, and your surfaces will look as good as new.
Environmentally Friendly Option
Unlike traditional liquid paints that contain solvents and emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), powder coating is an eco-friendly alternative. The powder application process produces a low level of waste, and residues can be gathered and reused, reducing their environmental impact.
Captivating Finishes
Our exclusive aluminum coating technology allows for a variety of vibrant color options and finishes. From rustic wood grain to sleek and contemporary styles, our powder coating options allow you to tailor the look to match your tastes and preferences.
