Powder Coated Items...
| The appliance industry benefits from powder coating on front and

and dryer parts. |

| While powder coating started as an alternative to finishing metal
products only, the development of powder that can be cured at lower temperatures has allowed powder coating to
expand to non-metal surfaces such as ceramics and some wood and plastic applications. Powder coating on wood is
growing by leaps and bounds. Manufacturers of home-office furniture, kitchen cabinets, children's furniture, and
outdoor grill tables are discovering that powder coating makes these "hard use" products retain their
new look much longer. |

There are also innumerable everyday uses for powder coated products
such as lighting fixtures, antennas, and electrical components. Farmers have powder coated tractors and farm equipment.
Fitness buffs use golf clubs and golf carts, ski poles and bindings, snowmobiles, bicycles, and exercise equipment
that are powder coated.
Shop owners have powder coated display racks, shelves, store fixtures, and vending machines. Office workers use
metal furniture, computer cabinets, mechanical pencils and pens, thumbtacks, and other desk accessories that are
powder coated.
Parents have powder coated baby strollers, cribs, metal toys, and wagons. And home owners have lawn mowers, snowblowers,
barbecue grills, patio furniture, garden tools, electronic components, bathroom scales, tool boxes, and fire extinguishers
which benefit from a powder coated finish. |
