What is powder coating, and how does it work?

Powder coating is a finishing process that involves applying a powdered paint, typically epoxy or polyester, to a metal surface. The coated component is then heated in a curing oven, where the powder melts and forms a durable, even layer. At Electris, we use advanced masking techniques to selectively apply coatings to copper and aluminum components.

What materials can be powder coated?

We specialize in powder coating copper and aluminum components of various shapes, sizes, and types. Both non-galvanized and galvanized surfaces can be coated with high precision.

What are the advantages of powder coating compared to traditional painting?

Powder coating offers several benefits: Durability: Provides excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and impact. Electrical insulation: Ensures high insulating properties for components. Aesthetic appeal: Creates a smooth, uniform finish with a variety of color options. Environmentally friendly: Emits fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to traditional liquid paints. Efficiency: The process allows for a faster application and curing time.

What industries commonly use powder coating?

Powder coating is widely used in industries such as: Energy generation and distribution: Ensuring insulated busbars and components. Renewable energy: Applications in wind and solar power systems. Heavy industry: Durable coatings for components exposed to harsh environments. Railway sector: Powder coating is used for train body panels, undercarriages, pantographs, and electrical systems. Automotive and e-mobility: For batteries, charging stations, and power banks.

Metal Powder Coating Services. Copper & Aluminium

We provide a professional painting, masking and epoxy powder coating service for copper and aluminium components.

Electris is committed to the comprehensiveness and complementarity of its offering and to seeking new opportunities for growth. This is why we have developed and implemented a state-of-the-art epoxy coating process for copper and aluminium components at our plant. We implement advanced masking processes, allowing selective application of electroplating and varnish coatings.

Powder coating of busbars is aimed at creating an insulating coating with suitable physical, chemical, aesthetic and functional properties, thanks to which such aluminium and copper components are used, among others, in the production of batteries, charging stations or so-called power banks for the automotive and e-mobility industries.

In the case of copper, it is necessary to prepare the metal surface in such a way that the correct adhesion and expected coating parameters are achieved. This requires experience and the right knowledge. At the Electris powder coating plant, we have been working with copper for many years, which is why we know how to clean it of any impurities so that the paint coating can guarantee durability, adhesion and an aesthetically pleasing finish at the same time. Thanks to the use of appropriate masking and protection techniques, our copper and aluminium components meet all the quality requirements set by our customers.

We powder-coat metal components of many sizes, shapes and types, providing them with adequate insulation. We use epoxy and polyester paints with high insulation properties.

We also offer many paint colours, such as:

black,
white,
ashen,
dark grey,
orange,

but also others - at the contractor's individual request.

Metal Components & Parts Coating Services

Our in-house powder coating plant enables us to apply epoxy or polyester coatings of a specific thickness and colour to non-galvanised and galvanised surfaces.

In addition, we carry out advanced masking processes, allowing selective application of electroplating and varnish coatings.

The integration of electroplated and powder-coated coatings serves a dual function. The electroplating layer increases the electrical conductivity of the component in question at the coating site, while the powder coating provides a layer with high insulating properties. This combination of coatings enables components to be used more efficiently in a variety of sectors: automotive, electromobility and renewable energy or heavy industry.
