Chicago Powder Coating
Powder coating offers several advantages over traditional wet-spray paint finishes. Powder coating covers metallic surfaces with a coating commonly 5-10x the coating thickness of traditional wet applied paints. The powder coat paint is thermally cured to form a very durable physical bond with the substrate, ensuring outstanding adhesion. Advanced Plating Technologies can help engineer the ideal pretreatment for your application including blasting, degreasing, chromating or phosphating as required to ensure corrosion resistance requirements are met.
In addition to providing powder coating to Chicago companies, APT offers a full line of plating services. Advanced Plating specializes in conductive coatings including silver, tin and nickel plating making powder coating an excellent option to provide insulating surfaces on conductively plated parts. As an innovator of plating technology and applications in Chicago and Wisconsin, we can provide both services. As a result, lead times are greatly reduced by offering both services under one roof.
