Polyester or Epoxy — Indoors or Out

The powder chemistry decides where a coated part can live. Using the wrong one is the most common powder coating failure, and it usually shows as chalking and fading within a year outdoors.

Powder Types
TypeUV ResistanceBest For
Polyester (TGIC-free)GoodOutdoor parts, architectural, general
Super-durable polyesterExcellentLong-life outdoor and architectural
EpoxyPoor — chalks in sunlightIndoor parts, chemical resistance
Epoxy-polyester hybridModerateIndoor appliances, furniture
Epoxy primer + polyester topExcellentHarsh outdoor and coastal service

Epoxy gives excellent chemical and corrosion resistance but degrades in UV light. Anything going outdoors needs a polyester topcoat. For coastal or industrial environments, a two-coat system with zinc-rich or epoxy primer is the robust choice.

Pre-treatment Decides How Long It Lasts

Powder coating adhesion and corrosion life depend almost entirely on surface preparation. A thick coat over a poorly prepared surface will still fail early.

Degreasing
Removes oils and contamination
Phosphating
Iron or zinc phosphate conversion layer
Shot blasting
For heavy scale, rust or thick sections
Zirconium pre-treatment
Modern, phosphate-free alternative
Galvanised steel
Needs specific preparation to avoid outgassing
Masking
Threads, earth points and fits protected

Specify the pre-treatment as well as the colour. Two parts in the same RAL colour can last years apart depending on what happened before the powder went on.

On specifications: the capabilities above reflect standard specifications for this process. Achievable tolerances and finishes for your part depend on geometry, material and quantity, and are confirmed at quotation after drawing review. Every first article ships with a full dimensional inspection report against your drawing, plus Material Test Certificates for the raw material. We do not ask buyers to take a capability claim on trust.

Buyer Questions

Which powder should I use for outdoor parts?

Polyester, or super-durable polyester for long-life architectural use. Epoxy powders give excellent chemical and corrosion resistance but chalk and fade in sunlight, so they suit indoor parts only. For coastal or industrial outdoor service, a two-coat system with an epoxy or zinc-rich primer under a polyester topcoat is the robust choice.

Why does pre-treatment matter so much?

Adhesion and corrosion life depend mostly on surface preparation. Degreasing, phosphating or zirconium conversion, and shot blasting where needed, create the surface the powder bonds to. A thick coat over a poorly prepared surface will still fail early, so specify pre-treatment as well as colour.

What film thickness should I specify?

Typically 60 to 120 micrometres for a single coat. Thicker is not automatically better, since excess thickness can crack on impact and affect fits. For demanding environments, a two-coat system is more effective than one very thick coat.

Can galvanised steel be powder coated?

Yes, and the combination gives very long corrosion life, but galvanised steel needs specific preparation. Without it, gas trapped in the zinc can escape during curing and leave pinholes. State that parts are galvanised so the right process is used.

How is colour matched?

To a RAL reference or an agreed physical sample, with gloss level and texture specified separately. Colour is approved before production, since the same RAL code can look slightly different between powder suppliers.

Which standards apply?

ISO 12944 defines corrosivity categories from C1 indoor to C5 and CX severe, and the coating system is chosen to match. Qualicoat certification applies to architectural aluminium. Specify the corrosivity category for your environment.
