Materials science: Powder coating

Resistant. Vibrant colors. Long-lasting.

Powder coating is a high-quality coating process in which metal surfaces are coated with a dry colored powder and then baked on. The result is a robust, uniform, and colorfast surface that is ideal for jewelry, accessories, and functional design elements.

What does powder-coated mean?

In powder coating, an electrostatically charged colored powder is applied to the metal and baked in an oven. This creates a hard, closed protective layer that protects the underlying material from wear, corrosion, and external influences.

Powder coatings are frequently used on steel, stainless steel, zinc alloys or aluminium .

Properties & Benefits of Powder Coating

• Highly resistant surface

• Scratch and abrasion resistant

• Uniform, high-quality appearance

• Color-intense & long-lasting

• Corrosion-protective

• Easy-care

These properties make powder-coated surfaces ideal for products that are frequently worn or subjected to heavy use .

Application areas of powder-coated materials

Powder coatings are frequently used in:

• Jewelry & Pendants

• Rings & Bracelets

• chain elements

• Accessories & Hardware

• Gothic & Industrial Designs

In the Gothic and alternative scene , black, matte or satin powder coatings are particularly popular.

Care & Durability

Powder-coated surfaces are very easy to clean:

• Clean with a soft, dry cloth

• If necessary: ​​mild water, dry thoroughly

• No harsh chemicals

• Avoid strong mechanical stress

This ensures that the surface remains smooth and intact for a long time.

Powder coating & responsibility

Powder coating is considered:

• Durable coating process

• Resource-efficient (low material loss)

• Solvent-free compared to many wet paints

Its long lifespan contributes to the long-term use of products .
