What is Electrostatic Painting?
Electrostatic painting is a surface coating method that does not contain solvents. The coating material consists of very small powder paint particles that form the final layer of paint. Special types of spray guns are used in the painting booth to apply the powder paint. As the powder paint particles pass through the specialized spray gun, they become electrostatically charged and adhere to the material inside the booth. Once this process is complete, the coating is finished.
To ensure the best adhesion of the powder paint to the material, the material must be properly grounded. Excess paint is collected and reused through a paint recovery system within the booth, which is an advantage of electrostatic powder coating technology.
After the material is coated with powder paint, it is placed in a curing oven. The oven, which is set to 200°C, melts the powder paint. This process also ensures that the melted powder paint adheres to the material. The result is a highly durable, cost-effective, eco-friendly, and glossy surface coating with a wide range of color options. The absence of solvents, economic pricing, and eco-friendliness make electrostatic powder coating a more attractive option compared to traditional painting methods.
Electrostatic Painting Prices
Electrostatic painting prices vary depending on several factors. The type of paint, the type of material to be coated, and the scale of the process all impact the prices. Labor costs and other special requests also play a crucial role in determining the cost. The quality, brand of the paint, and the characteristics of the materials can further influence the prices.

What Are the Benefits of Electrostatic Painting?
Electrostatic painting is used to apply paint uniformly to surfaces. This method ensures that paint particles adhere well to the surface, providing a very even coating. Widely used electrostatic powder coating is considered an environmentally friendly product under current conditions. The fact that 98% of the electrostatic powder adheres to the metal without dispersing into the environment proves this feature. During the spraying process, a very low 0.7 mA direct current is used to transfer paint particles to grounded objects.
How Is Electrostatic Powder Coating Performed?
Electrostatic powder coating is carried out quickly and professionally by Fiber Metal. Before applying electrostatic powder coating to metal surfaces, the surfaces are prepared. Surface cleaning is done using sandblasting or other chemical cleaning methods. Then, the electrostatic powder is applied to the prepared surface using an electrostatic gun. The process concludes with curing, or baking, which ensures that the powder adheres well to the metal surface, completing the electrostatic powder coating application.
