The True Cost of Cutting Corners in Finishing
Too often, companies focus on fabrication quality while overlooking the final finishing process. Powder coating is more than just colour; it’s protection, presentation, and performance. Choosing professional powder coating services can be the difference between product success and premature failure.
At the heart of ABTS’s finishing operation is our advanced powder coating paintline, a high-capacity, automated system designed for both performance and efficiency. With the ability to process parts up to 6 metres in length, 2 metres in width, and 2 metres in height, our line is ideally suited to handle everything from small-batch custom projects to large-scale production runs.
Why Powder Coating?
Powder coating offers superior durability and aesthetic flexibility compared to traditional wet paint. It is solvent-free, environmentally friendly, and offers a much stronger bond to the surface.
At ABTS, we’ve invested heavily in automated and manual powder coating systems to offer our clients unmatched finish quality and throughput.
Key Advantages of ABTS Powder Coating:
- Diverse Finishes and Colours
We provide full RAL and BS ranges, with finishes including matt, semi-gloss, gloss, metallic, anti-slip, anti-bacterial and even anti-graffiti coatings.
- Robust Pre-treatment Process
Our multi-stage pre-treatment includes degreasing, shot blasting, and chemical rinsing, ensuring the powder adheres securely and lasts longer.
- Capacity and Flexibility
Our conveyor-based system can handle parts up to 6m x 2m x 2m. Whether you need one part or a production run of thousands, we scale to meet your needs.
Success Story: Electrical Enclosures
One ABTS client in the power generation sector needed weather-resistant enclosures for outdoor use. Our polyester powder coating provided UV and corrosion protection. The client reported zero finish-related failures across 18 months in field testing.
When Finishing is Not Just Cosmetic
Powder coating affects brand perception, user safety, and product lifespan. Poor coating leads to corrosion, chipping, and callbacks. Professional services ensure reliable performance from day one.
