Merits And Demerits Of Powder Coating Los Angeles Offers

By Essie Osborn


Dry painting involves the use and application of free flowing dry paint on metallic surfaces. Electrostatic technique is used it the application of the paint and thereafter is followed by curing process. Curing is the use of heat to make the paint stick on the metallic surface. There are various merits and demerits associated with the Powder coating Los Angeles technique.

Dry painting emits almost zero volatile organic compounds to the environment. This is a great way helps in conservation of the environment. Unlike wet painting, this method involves less or no use of tough and chemical clogged solvents. It produces less hazardous waste to the surrounding unlike conventional wet painting technique. Due to this, many environment conservationists in Los Angeles, CA advocate for this painting technique.

One advantage is that it results into a much thicker painting cover on the surface. Another benefit is that it usually has less running and sagging effect on such surfaces. As a result, a very high quality film is formed on it and thus gives a long lasting excellent cover. However, for one to be able to get the best out of this kind of painting, it is good to follow the right treatment procedures.

When one is using this dry technique, it is very easy to apply an over coat. Thus, it is a cost effective method of painting large surfaces. On the other hand, a high quality film is formed on the applied surfaces thus producing an excellent result. Another benefit is that one can use various colors and still no paint variance is experienced. When a surface has been painted using this kind of technique, you can be sure that that surface will be able to withstand the ultra violet rays of the sun.

Some of the demerits associated with dry painting are like the break of dry skin after long exposure to ultra violet rays. This in a way reduces the lifespan of that painted surfaces. Rays from the sun tear up the skin. Normally this takes place between five to fifteen years after painting.

Despite wet painting having a sagging effect on a metallic surface, this painting also has a negative side of it. Thin painting does not have an easier application technique. It needs much concentration. Thin painted surfaces are usually rougher, and have an appearance of a golf ball like. This creates a rough surface hence effects of easy corrosion of the paint are high. Ultra violet rays do penetrate easily on such a surface hence shortening the lifespan of the surface.

The paint equipment is usually costly. Thus, one has to invest a lot of capital for the painting to be done. The spray guns and other materials and tools used are quite expensive. One is also supposed to wear protective gear such as gas masks and overalls. Gas masks are useful so as to prevent the one applying from inhaling the chemicals.

Dry painting is quickly being accepted worldwide and is the trend in the painting industry. More firms are switching to it since it is among costs effective methods of painting surfaces. It is also a safe way of painting and increases the performance and the durability of metal. Proper application procedures and instructions must be followed. If properly used, it extends the lifespan of metallic surfaces.
