For OEMs and manufacturers in regulated industries, powder coating is more than just a final touch. It’s a key part of functional and aesthetic product performance. Whether you’re targeting ISO compliance, OEM finish standards, or corrosion resistance in demanding environments, choosing the right powder coating supplier is critical.
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process where electrically charged powder particles are sprayed onto a grounded metal surface. The coated part is then cured in an oven to melt and fuse the powder into a durable layer. The result is a tough, uniform, and environmentally friendly finish.
Advantages Over Wet Paint:
- No solvents or VOC emissions (eco-compliant)
- High resistance to chipping, corrosion, and UV
- Smooth, consistent finish over complex shapes
- Minimal waste due to overspray recovery systems
ABTS Powder Coating Capabilities
ABTS operates an automated conveyor powder coating system capable of handling large volumes and diverse part geometries. Our system supports same-part repeatability and meets stringent OEM appearance and performance standards.
System Highlights:
- Pre-treatment wash stages for optimal adhesion
- Consistent line speed and curing temperatures
- Electrostatic application with colour-matching precision
Meeting ISO and OEM Standards
Many of our customers require coatings that adhere to ISO9001, ISO14001, or customer-specific paint specifications. ABTS tracks every batch with full traceability and applies visual and mechanical testing to ensure compliance.
Typical Standards We Meet:
- ISO 12944 (corrosion protection)
- RAL and Pantone colour matching
- OEM finish approvals (e.g., Legrand and Bombardier specifications)
Integrated Fabrication and Coating Workflow
Unlike standalone powder coaters, ABTS provides a single-source solution – we laser cut, weld, and powder coat in one facility. This eliminates transport delays and simplifies communication.
Recent Case Study:
For a power generation client, ABTS fabricated and powder coated 1,000+ mild steel enclosures with precise dimensions and RAL finish requirements. By keeping all stages in-house, we delivered the batch two weeks ahead of schedule.
Environmental Responsibility
Our ISO14001 accreditation reflects our commitment to sustainable manufacturing. Our powder coating process is energy-efficient, with closed-loop powder recovery, water filtration, and reduced emissions.
Why It Matters
Substandard coating leads to corrosion, warranty claims, and poor product image. ABTS ensures professional finishes that endure field conditions and inspection scrutiny.
The right powder coating supplier plays a pivotal role in your product’s lifecycle. With ABTS’s integrated system, OEMs benefit from speed, quality, and compliance in one package.
