What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that involves applying a fine, electrostatically charged powder to a metal surface. The coated item is then cured under heat, which causes the powder to melt and form a smooth, durable skin that bonds tightly to the surface.
Unlike traditional liquid paint, powder coating doesn’t require solvents. It’s tougher, cleaner, and better for the environment.
The Benefits of Powder Coating
1. Durability That Lasts
Powder coating creates a finish that resists chipping, scratching, and fading far better than conventional paint. Whether it’s a squat rack in a commercial gym or a coffee table exposed to daily wear and tear, powder-coated products hold up under pressure.
2. Corrosion & Weather Resistance
Steel products are vulnerable to rust and moisture damage – especially outdoors. Powder coating creates a sealed protective layer, making it ideal for garden benches, patio shelves, and outdoor equipment.
3. Sleek, Consistent Finish
The curing process results in a smooth, even coat with no drips or brush marks. Whether you're after a classic matte black or a bold colour like Forrged Orange, powder coating delivers a flawless, professional aesthetic.
4. Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
Because it contains no harmful solvents and produces minimal overspray waste, powder coating is a more environmentally responsible choice compared to traditional liquid painting methods.
5. Custom Colour Options
At Forrged, we offer a range of powder-coated finishes to match your style or brand – from sleek industrial blacks to custom colours for personalised projects.
