Paint Finishing

The ability to arrange for paint finishing, along with Telflon Coating and polishing means that, as part of our commitment to a total solution, Foundry & Fabrication are able to supply completely finished parts to your assembly line. Aluminium cast parts can be put through a number of pre-treatment processes to prepare them for paint finishing with either powder coating or wet spraying techniques.

Powder coating produces a hard-wearing finish that is tougher than conventional paint and, as such, is ideal for the sort of machine parts manufactured in somewhere like an aluminium foundry. The paint is applied as a free-flowing powder and adhered to the metal by means of an electrostatic charge, meaning that the paint wraps itself around all of the metal to ensure complete coverage. The process is than usually finished off by heating the powdered part in an oven.

Wet painting involves spraying the required pigment mixed with a solvent over a rotating part to ensure complete coverage.

Whichever paint finishing method you opt for, Foundry & Fabrication can ensure the best possible results for your aluminium casting, through years of experience and our rigorous ISO 9001:2008 accredited quality control department.
