Different Surfaces with Architectural and Powder Coating

Powder coating Singapore is a popular form of industrial coating procedure. Even if we are not aware of what it means or what it is on the get go, we can know what it is by simply looking around our environment. If you look around you, if you see a car’s hood and touch the surface, you are actually laying your hands on a powder coated surface. If you have a bike stored in your garage, if you try to see and feel the bike parts, you are actually feeling the smoothness of a surface that has been powder coated. If you have a wrought iron gate outside your front door, most likely your gate has been powder coated by your construction contractors. In essence, powder coating is an essential aspect in our lives.

Without powder coating procedures, we suffer the cost of having substandard automotive units such as hoods, car bodies, the workings under a car’s hood and more. Without such industrial treatment, all iron and steel equipments that we use on a daily basis such as residential gates, grills, plumbing pipes, and factory equipments will have a relatively short service life. Aside from providing color and shade to certain parts and equipments, powder coating procedures provide the right protection and product longevity one needs.
On the other hand, architectural coating is a popular form of industrial coating due to easy rendering and application. Despite the seemingly formal term, architectural coating can either be a form of paint brushing or spray painting from a commercially manufactured can. When we do household chores such as painting the fences in the backyard or painting the grilles of the gate, we are actually executing a form of architectural coating.

The use of a primer, a solvent and the actual paint element itself is a process in architectural coating. Also, when we spray paint a DYI cabinet project for our garage room, we are executing a form of architectural coating. Moreover, if we are helping our child make their “volcano and lava” science project, we also make use of painting materials that are characteristic of architectural coating projects. On the more commercial scale, architectural coating involves the decorative painting of a complex’s interiors (walls, ceilings, indoor cabinets and tables, etc.) and exteriors (roofing, gates, doors, etc.)

Both powder coating and architectural coating are essential industrial coating methods that a lot of contractors and manufacturers specialize on today. No matter how different both methods are from one another, both require the same level of care and attention when executing such a procedure. For powder coating jobs, one has to wear the right protective gears as this method requires a dry painting and a curing process. Not known to many but the latter involves the use of an oven where the dry coated surface of equipment will be baked in. It also involves the use of a special dry mask in order to prevent particles from entering the lungs. The same caution and precaution is also observed in architectural coating jobs since exposure to paint products, solvents and primers can also affect one’s skin and breathing.
