Surface
Preparation
& Pre-Treatment
The foundation every lasting finish is built on. In powder coating, finish quality is determined before a single gram of powder is applied. Inadequate cleaning or improper pre-treatment will cause adhesion failure, blistering, and corrosion regardless of coating quality. Our pre-treatment protocols align with SSPC surface preparation standards.
Our pre-treatment process at our Dunn, NC facility is systematic and thorough. Parts are processed through chemical cleaning and degreasing stages that remove oils, cutting fluids, oxides, and mill scale. If you're in Wake, Johnston, or Harnett County and have had finish failures traced back to prep issues, this is where we start the conversation.
