BENEFITS
Why powder coating is the right finish for your MDF products
When deciding the right finishing method for your MDF products, you need to consider the benefits of each type of finish. We think you’ll agree that there are many advantages to powder coating compared to traditional methods such as liquid paint and lamination.
The seamless finish of powder coating compares favourably to the visible seams of lamination, and with powder coating, there is no risk of peeling. Powder coating is also more durable than liquid paint, and can resist moisture, spills, stains, scratches, and heat.
We can efficiently handle MDF pieces with contours and rounded edges, which may be a concern with lamination. And the powder coating process does not release any hazardous air pollutants, solvents, or volatile organic compounds, making it much more environmentally friendly than liquid paint.
With their many advantages, powder coated MDF products are well suited for residential, retail and office environments. They make for excellent cabinets, drawers, doors, window trims, desks, wall panels, store fixtures, and more.

How it Works
The powder coating process
There are several steps to powder coating MDF. First, the MDF must be preheated. This is required to make the surface conductive so that the powder will stick to the surface. Then, the powder is electrostatically applied by a powder coating gun. It is important to control the thickness of the applied powder, as it can affect the final appearance of the finish.
Next, the piece enters our infrared oven to cure the powder. After several minutes in the oven, the process is complete and the MDF has been powder coated. The entire process can be completed in under ten minutes, and it results in a beautiful, durable, seamless finish!
