Atlantic Powder Coating Announces New Metal Finishing Products Specifically Designed for the Marine Industry.Powder Coating Powder coating is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension Can Now Be Color-Matched to Industry Leading Paints and Gel Coats STEVENSVILLE, Md. -- Atlantic Powder Coating, a leading provider of powder coating and metal finishing services, today announced a new line of powder coating products expressly designed to handle the unique needs of the marine industry. Unlike interior items, marine metals on a boat face a number of demanding environmental conditions such as exposure to sunlight, air, water, and salt that are constantly working to degrade TO DEGRADE, DEGRADING. To, sink or lower a person in the estimation of the public. 2. As a man's character is of great importance to him, and it is his interest to retain the good opinion of all mankind, when he is a witness, he cannot be compelled to disclose the metal or its finish. This degradation not only effects how the boat looks, but can also negatively impact performance and potentially lead to part failure. To handle these harsh conditions, Atlantic Powder Coating has partnered with Crosslink Powder Coatings, Inc, a Florida-based manufacturer of polyester and epoxy epoxy Any of a class of thermosetting polymers, polyethers built up from monomers with an ether group that takes the form of a three-membered epoxide ring. The familiar two-part epoxy adhesives consist of a resin with epoxide rings at the ends of its molecules and a curing powders to create coatings formulated especially for the marine environment. These powders were developed, tested, and used in Florida to determine how well they would perform in one of the most demanding marine settings. Under industry-standard, controlled "salt spray" and "salt fog" tests, they have proven to weather extremely well, exceeding the performance of liquid-based coatings in such areas as color and gloss retention, abrasion abrasion /abra·sion/ (ah-bra´zhun) 1. a rubbing or scraping off through unusual or abnormal action; see also planing. 2. a rubbed or scraped area on skin or mucous membrane. and impact resistanceCoand most importantlyCoresistance to oxidation oxidation /ox·i·da·tion/ (ok?si-da´shun) the act of oxidizing or state of being oxidized.ox·idative ox·i·da·tion n. 1. The combination of a substance with oxygen. 2. and corrosion. "Given the environmental factors associated with marine metals, we realized that there was a need for a specific finish for the industry," said Chuck Bell, President of Atlantic Powder Coating. "These new products provide excellent performance and appearance when compared to liquid based coatings. Powder coating can be used to protect or color-coordinate any of a boat's metal parts including hand rails, ladders, T-tops, cleats and deck hatches to name just a few." New Products Color-Matched to Industry Leading Marine Paints Powder coating is an innovation method for applying decorative and protective finishes to a wide range of products and materials. Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing than other finishes. In addition to superior performance, Atlantic Powder Coating can now also match popular colors from leading manufactures such as Alwgrip[TM] and Imron([R]). "We are excited to be able to color-match to Awlgrip and Imron, as they have long been the standard for marine paints," noted Bell. "If you are repainting your fiberglass hull or decks, it is a perfect time to consider color-matched powder coating for your related metal parts, rigging rigging, the wires, ropes, and chains employed to support and operate the masts, yards, booms, and sails of a vessel. Standing rigging is semipermanent, consisting mainly of mast supports, the fore-and-aft stays, and the stays running from the masthead to each side and hardware."
