Description

When your priority is the protective coating, make Nylon your first option. Nylon powder coating combines physical resilience, thermal consistency, chemical resistance, and mechanical integrity to produce a coating layer that can stand up to almost anything. Nylon powders are virtually resistant to stress, pH, and high temperatures. It has a heavy dimensional solidity, excellent resistance to cracking stress, and poor absorption of moisture. Nylon powder is a natural organic product produced from Castor beans, which has a much lower impact on the environment while also offering superior thermal and wear protection. In high-performance applications such as automotive, military, furniture, and medical applications, where parts take a beating, it is a must. As epoxy based coatings, Nylon is very attractive, and creates thin coating, at .004 - .030 thousandths of an inch. Nylon powder coating also offers a low friction coefficient and superior abrasion resistance. In contrast, the cost per component of Nylon is typically higher, but with less rework and quality problems, Nylon offers an excellent cost efficiency ratio in the long term. The essential benefits of Nylon powder coating are: Manufactured from renewable resources Non-toxic Excellent wear characteristics Good chemical resistance especially to solvents Good corrosion resistance Excellent thermal insulation, ideal for warm to touch applications Flexibility at low temperatures The smooth low friction surface Rustylions Powder coating is recognized for formulating the highest quality powder coating services, we specialize in powder coat, sandblasting, cerakote for high temp applications, paint, and similar services.
