Selecting the Right Powder Coating

Selecting the right powder coating for aluminum depends on the intended use and environment the aluminum metal will be subject to. The chemistry of a powder will determine how powder coating on aluminum will perform in a given environment. For example: Whether the intended use is indoor, outdoor, or both, is a major factor in determining the right powder coating.

Some powders break down over time when subjected to UV rays from the sun. Fluoropolymer powders on the other hand, are formulated for phenomenal weathering properties, color and gloss retention. At Aegis you are in good hands. Our powder coating experts know the pros and cons of the different types of powders with aluminum.

Whatever your aluminum coating project entails, our experts can provide you with the best powder options to meet and-or exceed your expectations.

Powder Coating Colours

Powder manufacturers and suppliers offer a wide palette of standard colors based on the RAL color system for powder coating. The RAL system was developed in Germany in 1925 and is the go-to color system for powder coating.

Some of our suppliers are very adept at matching color samples when a custom color is required. However, there may be a minimum order quantity on custom colors. There are also suppliers who offer colors outside of the RAL system.
