Powder coating is a versatile finishing process that gives you a tough, durable finish. It’s been the primary business of Highland Galvanizers since 1978, and we still use it today.
Powder coating uses a dry powder material applied to a metal object. The powder can be made up of many different materials, including epoxy, acrylic, polyester, polyurethane, and more. When applied properly, it gives you an incredibly tough finish that’s far denser than conventional paints—and it’ll last a lot longer too.
Powder coating is a great solution to many problems with metal surfaces. It is a process that involves applying a polymer-based powder to the surface of metal or plastic parts. The powder is then heated until it melts and fuses to the metal, creating a smooth, hard finish that protects against chipping, fading, scratches, and corrosion.
At Highland Galvanizers, we have a wide range of colours available to suit any style and can help with anything from blue to yellow, silver to gold. We provide powder coating for many different industries throughout Scotland and Northern England—from agriculture to engineering—and we’ve been doing it for more than 40 years. Some of the industries we service include:
- Agriculture.
- Construction.
- Engineering.
- Fencing.
- Street Furniture.
- General Fabrication.
- And Many More.
The Process
The powder coating process works by laying an ultra-thin film of powder on top of the material you want to protect. The powder is baked onto the material in an oven and then polished off with abrasives producing a hard protective layer that’s resistant to most chemicals and liquids.
It’s not just about aesthetics though as it also provides good thermal insulation properties as well as being non-conductive which means it won’t cause problems with electronic equipment such as computers or mobile phones.
Powder coatings are a great option for metal objects because they don’t require the use of liquid carriers. They’re faster than traditional paints, and they produce more uniform coatings that limit the aesthetics of a product. The advantage of this method over other types of coating is that it produces a very uniform appearance on the finished product.
Powder Coating – The Benefits
Powder coating is one of the most durable and economical finishes available across multiple industries for steel, aluminium, and other metals. It’s also non-toxic, so it’s good for the environment and it’s less flammable than spray paint finishes.
Although powder coating might seem more expensive up front, it creates a quality, long-lasting finish that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Repair Procedures
Powder Coating
Powder coatings are known for their high durability and long-lasting effects. They stay put despite contaminants, chemicals, and torrential rain. However, even the best powder coats can get damaged over time. Our team at Highland Galvanizers can easily fix powder coatings. At our facilities, we can supply galvanizing and powder-coating paints. Prior to powder coating, we’ll clean the original surface and make sure it’s dirt-free and free of debris so the powder supplier can match the powder colour and gloss level.
