Aluminium Powder Coating

Aluminium powder coating is a technique used to apply a decorative and protective finish to the metal's surface, enhancing both its appearance and resistance to corrosion.

This method involves the use of an electrostatically charged powder composed of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto the aluminium. It's then cured under heat to form a durable, smooth, and uniform layer.

This process not only offers a visually appealing finish with a vast array of colour options, but it also significantly increases the material’s resilience to chipping, scratching, and other forms of wear, establishing it as a favoured option for numerous applications across various industries.

Alrod Ltd specialises in powder coating for aluminium extrusions and die castings.

We offer a wide range of colours, gloss levels, and metallic finishes, utilising our in-house stock of epoxy, polyester, and epoxy-polyester powders.

We can also procure non-stock standard colours typically within 2 working days through our approved suppliers.

In the industry, aluminium powder coating is utilised for various purposes across different sectors due to its aesthetic and functional benefits. Below are some specific applications:
