Some moulding bars are powder coated. Powder coating is a process in which a metal tool or other object is coated with a plastic-based powder, and heated until the powder coating becomes fluid, bonding it to the metal.
This method of coating is an alternative to traditional liquid coating which is better for the environment, easier to style and can be applied thicker, increasing wear resistance.
A moulding bar may be powder coated with:
A corrosion resistant solution – one to consider if you’re concerned about the lifespan of your bar, or know that you will be using or storing it in wet or damp conditions.
A high visibility (often listed as ‘high vis’ or ‘hi vis’) paint – useful in cluttered or dark workspaces where tools may be easily misplaced, or when you need other people (such as motorists) to see you.
