Starting a Powder Coating Business
Powder coating business is a good business. Powder coating is very advantageous to homeowners and business owners as well.
It is very friendly to powder coaters, customers and end users, as well as to our Mother Nature.
Introduction to Powder Coating
Metals that will be used heavily must be powder coated instead of painting them. Powder coating caters a strong coating that is very scratch proof. This is very important when developing parts that will be of extreme usage. There are lots of companies today that produce parts however, not all of them have competence to powder coat their produced parts. This is the reason why powder coating is a potential profitable business.
Ways to Start the Business
First is to assess the business you are expecting to accomplish. If you don’t have any idea on what to do first, it will be best to start small and gradually increase your business. Then, buy the machine for power coating. Consider that volume of the parts that you expect to develop. There are powder coating machines that are capable of coating thousands of parts each day, but if you expect a few hundred coatings a day, a small one can do the job. For smaller workspaces, small machines are ideal because they are portable and easy to manage. As the business grows, you can just add larger machines if needed.
Purchase a necessary curing oven suitable for your business. Set-up your working area and allot a 200–400 square feet space for cleaning parts or for the solvent bath cleaning and the hanging of parts that are cleaned. Build an enclosed yet ventilated space near the machine for the painting of parts. Follow safety regulations on how this area must be built. Create your workspace as conducive as it can be so that workers can work in safety. Follow the OSHA standards and the powder coating safety guidelines. Consider all the safety precautions that you must take in this business. This is both for you and for your workers too.
Last but not the least is to advertise your business. Tell people that you have started a powder coating business and you have the ability to do the job satisfactorily. You can acquire individual clients needing a customized job and when the business reach large clients, they may even give you work for large amount of parts that needs to be coated. Do a quality work and start building your reputation because this will be the start of your business. Do not limit your work locally. You can acquire job from other small towns’ metal shops that require outsource of powder coating job.
