While most discussions about powder coating focus on application techniques or environmental benefits, professionals know that 90% of coating failures stem from what happens before the powder even leaves the gun. Surface pretreatment remains the most underestimated yet critical phase in achieving durable, high-quality finishes. The Science Behind the SurfaceMetal surfaces naturally develop oxides, oils, and microscopic imperfections that no powder coating can properly adhere to. A 2022 study by the Powder Coating Institute revealed that proper pretreatment improves coating adhesion byRead More …
