Powder Coating

NSP Coatings Ltd operate both track and box oven facilities offering a range of coatings including polyester, epoxy polyester and specialist coatings for industry across the South East of England. The page below details the scope of NSP's powder coating services.

Box Oven

One Maywick box oven with internal dimensions 4m x 1.8m x 2m, ideal for large awkward items, sheet metal, and heavy work as well as higher volume jobs such as brackets, machined components and castings. Oven is Gas fired up to 200^oC with temperature control for long bakes.

One box oven with internal dimensions 3.6m x 1.6m x 1.5m, ideal for smaller items. Oven is Gas fired up to 200^oC.

Polyester Coatings

We carry out polyester powder coating in a wide range of colours, thicknesses and textures to customer specification. Polyester coatings are suited to indoor and outdoor use and possess high resistance to weathering as well as elevated temperatures. All polyester powder coatings are applied over a pretreated surface which ensures a tough and flexible finish resistant to cracking and flaking and have a thickness of 50-70µm.

Finishes available include:	Coatings are also available in the following specifications:
Hammer Leatherettes Textures Wrinkle Any degree of matt through to full gloss	Low Cure Anti-Gassing Architectural Grade

Epoxy Polyester Coatings

Epoxy polyester powder coatings provide a high performance finish with good chemical resistance and colour stability. Epoxy polyester is designed for indoor use in factory and process environments or applications subject to enhanced corrosion resistance. Epoxy polyester is easy to apply and results in a uniform even finish with a thickness of 30-70µm.

Finishes available include:	Coatings are also available in the following specifications:
Hammer Leatherettes Textures Metallic Clear Lacquer Antique Any degree of matt through to full gloss	Low Cure Anti-Gassing

Epoxy Coatings

We carry out epoxy powder coating in a wide range of colours, thicknesses and textures to customer specification. Epoxy coatings are suited to indoor applications and when applied over a pretreated surface ensures a tough and chemical resistant finish with a dry film thickness of 50-70µm.

Finishes available include:	Coatings are also available in the following specifications:
Leatherettes Textures Any degree of matt through to full gloss	Low Cure Anti-Gassing

Anti-Graffiti Powder Coating

We offer a clear anti-graffiti powder coating which when combined with a suitable cleaning technology allows the removal of graffiti without altering the original surface finish. The coating provides a 50-70µm dry film finish. The system is resistant to many different kinds of marker pens and aerosols, meets London Underground anti-graffiti requirements and offers a hard wearing surface finish.

Handrail Regulations

To satisfy part M1 & M2 of the UK's Building Regulations, Access to and Use of Buildings, which requires that new handrails need to be "slip resistant and not cold to the touch" we now offer a thermoplastic polymer alloy coating. The coating is available in a wide range of colours and finishes with a dry film thickness of 150-350µm (750µm flock spray). The coating which is based on an alloy of acid modified polyolefins (halogen free) has been specifically designed to provide a long lasting, tough coating for exterior applications on mild steel, galvanised steel and aluminium. The coating is resistant to stress cracking, adverse weather conditions, detergents, salt spray and typical airborne pollutants. The coating maintains excellent adhesion to the metal substrate without the need for a separate primer and provides a good degree of electrical insulation, abrasion and impact resistance.

Typical applications include fence posts, fencing panels, sign posts, street furniture, balustrading, stadium seating, pipes including potable water, cable tray, ducting, garden furniture, gutter brackets, battery boxes, hand rails, fan guards and wirework.

Corrosion Resistant Coatings

We offer a specialist zinc rich powder coating as a primer for high level corrosive environments and applications where an extended life expectancy of the surface coating is required. The specialist powder coating system offers upto 16 years performance protection in most types of light industrial applications, urban & industrial environments with moderate sulphur dioxide pollution, high humidity and areas of low salinity and is tested against the ISO12944: 1998 standard for the Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures by Protective Paint Systems.

Thickness

All coatings can be applied to specific thicknesses as detailed in the table below:

Colour Matching

We offer a colour matching surface based on existing paint samples for RAL and BS4800 colour sets.
