Whether you’re a product designer, engineer, or original equipment manufacturer (OEM), creating a product out of metal has many benefits. However, it has several downfalls. Most metals are prone to corrosion, wear from oils in the human skin, damage from diverse types of weather, and poorly maintained grip. That’s why many workers across dozens of industries turn to fluidized bed powder coating to provide a thick, substantial layer that offers excellent durability, resistance to wear and rust, and a more comfortable grip.

But how does fluid bed powder coating work, and will it provide the right coating you need for your item? When you work with experts in the powder coating field, like Precision Coating Technology & Manufacturing (PCTM), we’ll ensure that you understand the process and benefits of this type of powder coating and get the best fluidized bed coating for your product.

For over 30 years, we’ve helped industries like yours get the coating they need to extend the longevity of their unique product. We understand what it’s like to be excited about new product development, only to be disappointed by other coating materials like paint that don’t provide the same advantages as powder coatings. That’s why we specialize in coating parts using a wide variety of coating techniques that provide the resistance, durability, and color options you want.
