Specifying 'powdercoat' is insufficient. Omnikote prevent corrosion with Zinc Spraying, plus ‘Warm to Touch’ Nylon RAG+; the toughest coating available.
(read more)We define this class of powder coatings as those where the function of the coating is of primary importance, and the decorative function is secondary. The coatings tend to be thicker and some are applied to a hot substrate (fusion bonded). Careful and precise application is vital for these high performance coatings. Skilled operatives give personal attention to ensure optimum performance...

Polyesters are the workhorse of the powder coating world, although they have limited chemical and wear resistance. As with all coatings, correct preparation and pre-treatment is crucial to durability. Even the best polyester will fail after 6-12 months external exposure if applied directly to steel. Polyesters are widely used for decorative architectural...
(read more)This process is based on liquid paints which are cured by oven baking. It normally requires several coats and a high level of skill, particularly when applying special finishes such as hammers, wrinkles and spatter finishes.
(read more)Most coating failures are due to corrosion beneath the coating, or poor adhesion. Primers are designed to improve adhesion and/or corrosion resistance.
Everything we coat has some form of surface treatment and/or primer. Each of our plants has the capability to apply primers by:
- Wet spray
- Powder
- Electrostatic wet
Commonly used primers i...

Nylon Powder Coatings
Although initially more expensive than polyester coatings, Nylon has superior wear, abrasion, and impact resistance. Any extra cost is recovered many times over by savings in maintenance and replacement costs. Coating with Nylon is a major part of our day to day business. We are an approved applicator of Rilsan, and have built up a considerable expertise with...
