Galvanized and Powder Coat Finish

Galvanized and Powder Coat Finish

“Galvanized-Powder” is frequently specified for applications where excellent corrosion resistance and the application of color are required.

Zinc Plated and Powder Coat Finish

Zinc Plated and Powder Coat Finish

“Zinc-Powder” finish provides very good corrosion resistance and also provides for the application of color.

Powder Coat Primer and Powder Coat Finish

Powder Coat Primer and Powder Coat Finish

“Powder-Powder” finish is an architectural coating that provides a distinct finished appearance and a moderate level of corrosion resistance.

Galvanized Finish

Galvanized Finish

“Galvanized” panels provide substantial corrosion resistance for grille work exposed to atmospheric conditions.

Pre-galvanized with Powder Coated Finish

Wire and channel framing materials are galvanized prior to manufacture of the panel.

Galvanizing provides a zinc coating to the surface of materials to offer corrosion resistance. Once the panel is manufactured, the material is then top coated with a polyester powder coat in the above RAL color selections.

The powder coating provides desired color and additional layers of corrosion resistance.

Architectural Class II

“Metallized–Powder” is a premium coating offering superior corrosion resistance when aesthetics are of the utmost importance.

During this process, the base material is cleaned by abrasive blasting, sprayed with molten zinc-aluminum, and coated with an epoxy powder primer. The material is then top coated with a polyester powder coat in any RAL color. The thorough surface preparation and application of zinc-aluminum create a galvanic action that penetrates the surface of the metal and impedes rusting even if the powder and zinc surfaces are compromised.

The powder coating provides desired color and additional layers of corrosion resistance. This finish is recommended for outdoor applications and is considered particularly effective near coastal waters.

AAMA Powder Coat

AAMA 2604 (High Performance Coatings)

“Metallized–Powder” is a premium coating offering superior corrosion resistance when aesthetics are of the utmost importance.

During this process, the base material is cleaned by abrasive blasting, sprayed with molten zinc-aluminum, and coated with an epoxy powder primer. The material is then top coated with a polyester powder coat in any RAL color. The thorough surface preparation and application of zinc-aluminum create a galvanic action that penetrates the surface of the metal and impedes rusting even if the powder and zinc surfaces are compromised.

AAMA 2605 (Superior Coatings)

“Metallized–Powder” is a premium coating offering superior corrosion resistance when aesthetics are of the utmost importance.

During this process, the base material is cleaned by abrasive blasting, sprayed with molten zinc-aluminum, and coated with an epoxy powder primer. The material is then top coated with a polyester powder coat in any RAL color. The thorough surface preparation and application of zinc-aluminum create a galvanic action that penetrates the surface of the metal and impedes rusting even if the powder and zinc surfaces are compromised.

Primer Coat Finish

"Primer" finished panels provide limited corrosion resistance.

This finish involves applying one of a wide variety of primer pain coatings applied to the fabricated panels. Typically specified for applications where on-site finish coatings will be applied. It is important to specify primers that are compatible with the finish coat that will be applied. 

Galvanized Finish

"Galvanized" panels provide substantial corrosion resistance for grillework exposed to atmospheric conditions.

Commonly specified as an economical finish for outdoor applications, panels receive a 3-5 millimeter coating of zinc in accordance with ASTM A-123 after fabrication. It should be noted that hot dip galvanizing is not considered an architectural coating. Galvanized products may randomly exhibit rough texture on the finished surface, dissimilar color characteristics, and will oxidize when exposed to the elements.

Powder Coat Primer and Powder Coat Finish

"Powder-Powder" finish is a superior architectural coating that provides a distinct finished appearance and corrosion resistance.

Fabricated panels are first treated by abrasive blasting to provide a clean, uniform surface. A corrosion resistant epoxy prime powder coat is applied and cured by oven-baking. The panel is then coated with a TGIC polyester powder finish coat which provides ultraviolet protection and a smooth surface appearance. The finish coating of 7-10 millimeters overall thickness is an excellent choice for both exterior and interior applications where appearance of the surface must meet demanding architectural standards.

Zinc Plated and Powder Coat Finish

"Zinc Powder" finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and allows for color application.

The primary plated finish provides corrosion resistance by coating the fabricated panel with a smooth, 1-2 millimeter protective layer of zinc conforming to ASTM B-633. The panels are then etched to accept a finish application of TGIC polyester powder coating available in the full range of RAL color options. This finish is well suited for interior or inland exterior applications.

Galvanized and Powder Coat Finish

"Galvanized Powder" is frequently specified for applications where superior corrosion resistance and the application of color are required.

Finished panels are hot dip galvanized to provide a 3-5 millimeter coating of zinc per ASTM A-123, and then etched to accept TGIC polyester powder coating available in a variety of RAL colors. This finish is recommend for outdoor applications and is considered particularly effective near coastal waters. It should be noted that the initial galvanized coating randomly exhibits rough texture that may be accentuated by the application of the finish powder coating.
