How To Maintain your Powder Coating

In conjunction with a regular maintenance program your powder coating will have a long life expectancy and will stay in good condition for many years. Just as washing your car is important for removing dirt and grime, your powder coating needs to be given a regular wash to keep it looking good.

The effects of ultra violet light atmospheric pollution, general dirt, grime and airborne salt deposits can all accumulate over time and should be removed at regular intervals.

As a general rule cleaning must take place every six months. In areas where pollutants are more prevalent, such as beachfront locations and industrial areas, cleaning programs should be carried out on a more frequent basis ie. every three months.

Three steps to cleaning your powder coating

1. Remove loose deposits with a wet sponge rather than risk micro scratching the surface by dusting.

2. Using a soft brush and mild detergent in warm water clean the powder coating to remove any dust, salt or other deposits.

3. Always rinse after cleaning to remove any remaining detergent.
