FISA has two independent horizontal powder coating lines that together result in an annual capacity of 16 million pounds. Three application cabins provide flexibility to paint three different colors simultaneously. Moreover, FISA can paint the aluminum extrusions with virtually any color. The maximum length of aluminum extrusions that can be treated in this process is 9.1 meters.
Powder coating of aluminum extrusions is a dry finishing process that uses finely ground particles of pigment and resin electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a part to be coated. Before powder coating takes place, a chrome-based pretreatment is carried out to improve the adherence and resistance of the coating. After coating takes places, aluminum extrusions are cured at high temperatures. FISA guarantees a coating thickness between 60 and 80 µm that provides excellent corrosion resistance and a uniform, durable and low friction surface. |
