Powder coating is a process that involves applying a dry, powdered paint to the surface of a metal object and then baking it at high heats to cure the paint. Powder coating is a popular choice for metal finishes because it is durable, resistant to chipping and scratching, and can be applied in a wide range of colours and finishes.
Our washing line poles are sold in various finishes, powdercoated being one of the most popular.
To care for a powder-coated surface, follow these tips:
- Clean the surface regularly: Dust and dirt can accumulate on the surface of the powder coating, which can cause scratches and other damage. Use a soft, dry cloth or a brush with soft bristles to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface.
- Use a gentle cleaner: If the surface is heavily soiled, you can use a mild detergent to clean it. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the powder coating.
- Protect the surface from impact: Powder-coated surfaces can be scratched or damaged if they are struck with hard objects. To protect the surface, avoid placing heavy objects on it and use protective pads or covers when necessary - Care should be taken when storing the washing pole when not in use.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals: Harsh chemicals such as acids and solvents can damage the powder coating. Avoid using these types of chemicals near the surface or on the surface itself.
- Repair any damage promptly: If the powder coating is damaged, it is important to repair it as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Use a touch-up paint specifically designed for use on powder-coated surfaces to repair any chips or scratches.
