Powder coatings in the automotive industry

Car parts are subject to heavy wear and tear. Weather, friction, temperature changes — everything affects their condition. Such coverage is one of the most reliable on market. If it is technically difficult to paint the entire car, but individual parts are very convenient and profitable to paint.

In this article, we will look at how powder coating is useful for the automotive industry.

What is covered with powder?

The car has many small parts that need reliable protection. Brake calipers, crankcase guards, wheels, some engine and chassis components require something to protect them against corrosion and wear. Such paint is not afraid of high heat or intense abrasion. Therefore, it will hold up well in conditions where others would have lost their tracks. The impact and scratch resistant polymer film lasts for more than ten years.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to make a new color from powder paints on your own. However, you can order a specific color from the manufacturer. Such orders are accepted by the Lacover company, so visit our RAL catalog.

How are car parts painted?

There are no specific requirements for the process. The stage of cleaning the metal from rust, grease, and dirt remains just as important. It is necessary to apply powder evenly and monitor the temperature regime in the polymerization furnace. A popular paint for car parts is pure chrome, it is mainly applied to the disc. The product is constantly under the influence of moisture and small abrasive particles. In this case, the layer perfectly withstands any challenges and masks already present flaws on the metal.

Machine parts have different shapes. All recesses and corners are easy to cover with powder mass, because it is applied by spraying.

Polyurethane, polyester, epoxy paint — Lacover has a wide selection. The price is always good. All you have to do is go to the website and choose. Need help choosing? Call +38 (067) 536 53 64. Our employees are always ready to help!
