Custom Powder Coating of an OEM Metal Part
To have a powder coated part with a finish that lasts, you must start with pretreatment to ensure a totally clean part. Pretreatment process can be broken down into two areas of operation:
- Cleaning
- Phosphatizing
This article will address the most important phase which is the process to obtain a clean part. All contamination, dirt and oil must be removed. Most metals will have rust inhibitors, oil, cutting fluids, drawing compounds, grease and dirt. If powder is applied to a metal part that has not been thoroughly cleaned adhesion will not occur or the powder coat finish will not stay on the part over time.
