Powder coating is a pollution-free, VOC-free, environmentally friendly and economical way to apply a durable long-lasting finish to your garden furniture. This ensures that they remain looking as good as new, with a high-quality finish.

Powder coating is a process of applying a powder coat to the surface of the furniture. To begin with, a suitable patented plastic coating is ground into fine powder. Then, this powder material is applied to the surface, using electrostatic means. This is where the epoxy powder coating factory is charged using electricity to acquire a negative charge. With this negative charge, the powder gets the ability to be able to stick to surfaces. The fine powder is then blown onto the surface using this electrostatic method. Your garden furniture will therefore be coated all round, ensuring that all sections are coated.

Due to the fact that the coating can be easily peeled off, it is essential to find a way of making it stick permanently to the surface, which is done by curing. Garden furniture such as patio table and chairs, is placed carefully onto an oven to be cured, this method ensures that the heat will give adhesive qualities to the powder. The oven should be set to the melting point of the powder, which in turn will enable that the powder to melt into the fluid. It is fact that material will stick better to a surface when they are in liquid, rather than a solid state. The purpose of curing, therefore, is to make the powder melt and therefore stick better to your garden furniture.

Upon melting, The powder will flow onto the surface as a smooth film. This will later dry into a firm long-lasting coating. The finish will make your garden furniture very resistant to the destructive ultra violet rays of the sun, cracking, peeling, rust, scratches and corrosion.

Powders used to be a popular way to treat pets for fleas. These days, there are much more effective methods, namely the topical "spot" treatments such as Frontline Plus and Advantage.

Flea powders used for pets contained insecticides, and there were several reasons they were less than ideal for getting rid of fleas on pets.

It was hard to distribute the powder evenly over the animal. Fleas had a tendency to linger in one or more areas of the pet's coat, and re-infest them after the hybrid epoxy polyester powder coating suppliers wore off.
There was no real residual effect to the powder itself. It tended to fall away over time, and not offer any long-term protection.
To be effective, flea control treatments need to be comprehensive, and kill not just the adult fleas, but the eggs and larva as well. Powders didn't accomplish this.
Powders created a toxic cloud during treatment, which could be inhaled by both the pet and the person treating them.
For these reasons, it's actually much more effective, not to mention convenient, to use a topical treatment. These can be applied once a month and protect your pet from adult fleas, as well as eggs and larva.

Flea Powders for Use on Carpets

There's one application for which powders are quite useful, and that's to kill fleas and eggs in your carpets.

These powders, such as the Fleabusters Rx for Fleas Plus, contain borate. Borate is non-toxic to pets and humans, and will penetrate your carpets well. It's a very fine powder, and has the added benefit of being statically charged.

Being statically charged means that once it penetrates the carpet, it will cling to the fibers and provide protection against fleas for a long time, even through repeated vacuuming.

Fleabusters powder is also pH neutral, meaning it's neither acidic or alkaline. Many insects, fleas included, can sense a high or low pH and will avoid the area. With this powder, fleas have no such warning and will crawl through it and die.
