Powder Coating at Your Local Park

admin • March 10, 2018

Powder coating is an oft misunderstood service that shows up all throughout the world around us. Wherever you are in your day-to-day life, there’s likely a variety of different objects that utilize the benefits of powder coating, whether you realize it or not. Your local park is no exception to this, and most man-made amenities at a park are powder coated to help protect against the constant usage and barrage from the elements…

Park Benches

Sometimes, there’s nothing more relaxing than sitting down at the park and enjoying the fresh outdoor air. That’s why most public parks are equipped with park benches throughout the area. However, these benches need to be able to stay the same and be durable throughout spring, summer, fall, and winter! Paint would easily start to chip in a short period of time. However, powder coating is able to withstand the changing elements, and is thick and durable enough so that a park bench is going to be the same quality over many years.

Playground Equipment

Most parks have a playground for kids to come and enjoy. Whether these playgrounds include slides, swing sets, jungle gyms, or any other variety of fun contraption for kids, you can be sure that powder coating is being used to keep it safe and fun. An effective powder coat is able to withstand the constant wear and tear that children put on a playground when they are climbing, jumping, and running on top of it. In addition, the bright colors of a powder coat make the playground even more appealing to kids.

Picnic Tables

On a nice summer day, there’s few things that are as relaxing and fun as gathering the family together for a lovely picnic at the park. While you can bring a blanket and sit on the grass, many parks nowadays are equipped with picnic tables that make it convenient for family gatherings. These picnic tables, today, are usually powder coated to make them durable and easy to clean, so that families don’t mind eating a meal on them.

Powder Coating for the Medical Field (AS9001)

By Admin • February 3, 2026

TL;DR — Powder Coating for the Medical Field (AS9001) Medical-grade powder coating prioritizes cleanability, chemical resistance, durability, and documented quality suitable for hospitals and device makers. Buyers often expect AS9001-style rigor with ISO-style documentation, including travelers, lot traceability, cure logs, inspections, and retained panels. Proper prep drives longevity: degreasing, targeted media blasting, conversion coating, and outgassing for castings, plus precise masking of functional interfaces. Cure must be verified at part temperature with time-at-temp logs, calibrated film-build checks, and controlled color and gloss against masters. Validation uses adhesion, impact, bend, chemical rubs with alcohols and quats, corrosion testing when needed, and cleanability trials that mirror real SOPs. Common applications include carts, IV stands, rails, cabinets, monitor arms, housings, and bed components, with neutral, low-glare textures for easy wipe downs. Cost reflects geometry, masking, pretreatment, custom colors or antimicrobials, documentation level, and batching strategy. Use a Utah finisher that shows sample travelers, retained panels, and oven mapping, and can scale from prototype to production while maintaining consistency. Service coverage spans Salt Lake County, Utah County, Davis County, Weber County, and Cache County with pickup and delivery by arrangement. Need help setting specs or validation?

Why powder coating for aerospace under ISO/AS9100 matters

By Admin • January 27, 2026

TL;DR — Powder Coating for Aerospace (ISO/AS9100) Powder coating provides durable, lightweight, low-VOC protection for aerospace interiors, avionics housings, and ground-support equipment. ISO/AS9100 adds aviation-grade controls: documented travelers, first article inspection, calibrated gauges, cure logs, and full traceability. Performance depends on disciplined prep: precision cleaning, media blasting, conversion coating, outgassing, masking, and purpose-built racking with solid grounding. Cure is validated with thermocouples on representative mass to hit time-at-temperature. Film build is held within spec and Faraday areas are engineered up front. Release testing covers thickness, adhesion, impact, bend, gloss, color delta, humidity or salt fog, and specified chemical rubs. Use powder for consistent appearance and abrasion resistance in cabins and on the ramp. Choose alternatives like anodize, conversion coat, ceramic, or vacuum coating when ultra-thin or high-temp films are required. Cost drivers: part size and complexity, masking, pretreatment stack, finish tier, special tests, and documentation packages. Buyer checklist: drawings with mask and film-build zones, color and gloss targets, required tests, documentation needs, sample panels or pilot build, and packaging specs.
