Powder Coating Services at AWC Industries: Durable Finishes, Delivered Fast
In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, the quality of your product’s finish can make all the difference. Whether you’re aiming to protect against corrosion, boost longevity, or create visual impact, powder coating delivers results that liquid paint simply can’t match. At AWC Industries, we bring more than 75 years of manufacturing excellence to every finish, offering precision, speed, and customization through our in-house powder coating services.
What Is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that uses electrostatic application followed by heat curing to create a durable, high-quality surface. Unlike wet paint, powder coating is solvent-free, eco-friendly, and known for superior resistance to wear, weather, and chemicals. The result is a uniform, tough-as-nails finish that’s as attractive as it is functional.
AWC’s Powder Coating Technology
At AWC Industries, all powder coating is performed in-house using advanced equipment, including:
-
Amiberica Conveyorized 5-Stage Wash System – Ensures proper surface prep by removing oils, dirt, and residues that could interfere with coating adhesion.
-
Nordson Electrostatic Spray Booth – Applies powder coatings with precision and consistency, reducing waste while maximizing performance.
This cutting-edge setup allows us to offer a wide variety of colors, textures, and gloss levels, ranging from standard finishes to custom epoxies, urethanes, and specialty coatings.
