Powder Coating Services
Powder coating is a durable finishing process commonly used to apply a protective and decorative layer to metal and other materials. Instead of using liquid paint, powder coating relies on a dry, finely ground pigment and resin mixture. The process involves three main steps:
1. Preparation
The surface is cleaned to remove dirt, grease, and rust, ensuring proper adhesion. This often involves washing, sandblasting, or chemical treatments.
2. Application
- The powder is applied using an electrostatic spray gun, which charges the powder particles with electricity.
- The charged powder is attracted to the electrically grounded surface, ensuring even coverage.
3. Curing
- The coated item is heated in an oven, typically at 350–400°F (175–200°C).
- The powder melts and forms a smooth, uniform, and durable finish as it bonds with the surface.
Benefits of Powder Coating
- Durability: Resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading.
- Environmental Friendliness: Contains no solvents or VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
- Variety: Available in a wide range of colors, textures, and finishes.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Minimal waste due to the ability to recycle unused powder.
Powder coating is widely used for items such as automotive parts, household appliances, outdoor furniture, and architectural materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
A BRC fence also called security fencing is constructed by steel wires. The wires are welded or interlocked to form a mesh panel that makes up the main body of the fence.
The mesh panel will then send for a hot dip galvanizing process that prevents it from corrosion.
Steel posts are used to support and secure the mesh panels of the BRC fence. These posts are typically made from galvanized steel or other corrosion-resistant materials to ensure longevity and structural integrity.
U-clips and connectors are used to attach the mesh panels to the steel posts and join them together securely.
The installation of BRC or Security fence is considered straightforward. The fence is secured or tightened onto a galvanized steel post with stainless steel U-clips, bolts & nuts. However, it still requires proper planning, preparation, and expertise to ensure a successful installation. Here’s an overview of the installation process for a BRC fence: Site preparation, layout & marking, galvanized post installation, fence installation, connection & finishing, and finally final inspection.
