Powder Coating

Conklin''s has recently expanded it painting department to offer powder coating in addition to our spray-method. The spray method is still available and is a good option for furniture that needs a quick turn-around time. We use water-based environmentally friendly paints from Sherwin Williams during the spray process. If time allows, powder coating produces a very durable and professional finish.

What is Powder Coating

The process utilizes a powder comprised of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which are sprayed onto the surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces while heated in a curing oven until hardened into a smooth coating.

Protects the Environment

Powder coating is the most environmentally sound method currently being used to paint office furniture. Liquid finishes contain solvents which have pollutants known as volatile organic compounds (VOC''s) . VOC''s have been linked to ozone depletion and global warming concerns as well as polluting the air we breathe.

Powder coating contains no solvents and releases negligible amounts of VOC''s into the atmosphere. As a result, costly pollution control equipment is no longer necessary and Conklin''s is able to pass that on to our customers in savings. In addition, most powder coating over spray that does not adhere to the furniture can be retrieved and reused, greatly decreasing waste commonly associated with liquid finishing processes.

Saves Money

Ultimately powder coating is a win, win, win situation. The client wins in that they get a product with a more durable finish that looks more professional and lasts far longer. Conklin''s wins because we are able to eliminate the release of toxins which saves us money on pollution control systems that transforms into savings for our customers. Lastly, the environment wins because Conklin''s is able to comply with stringent air pollution control legislation. Conklin''s works hard to provide our clientele with high quality office furniture at a fraction of the cost of new while upholding our commit to the environment. The powder coating process is just another way Conklin''s is striving to be a leader in quality office furniture refurbishing.
