OEM Enclosure Protection With Powder Coating
Industrial powder coating is a preferred finishing method for OEM metal components and assemblies. This process eliminates VOC emissions and results in more durable, longer-lasting surfaces compared to traditional painting methods. It can also integrate forming, welding, and inspection processes to deliver production-ready enclosures.
At Metal Works of High Point (MWHP), we offer powder coating and other finishing services to protect enclosures in harsh operational settings. Learn why OEMs in telecommunications, material handling, and other applications rely on our powder coating services for their enclosures.
Enhancing Protection in Electronics Housings
Electronic enclosures need to withstand a range of environmental conditions without failing and exposing interior contents to moisture, chemicals, or mechanical damage. Special powder formulations can be applied via electrostatic application methods to create a protective film across the surface of each housing. This allows for the following:
- Heat dissipation and fewer hotspots that can otherwise jeopardize long-term performance and safety
- Moisture, chemical, and UV damage resistance
- High-quality appearance without blotchiness, wear, or rust
- Efficient application, with the ability to recover excess coating material for reuse
MWHP follows ISO-aligned cure cycles and processes to deliver high-quality results for OEM electronics enclosures.
Ensuring Compliance with Industry-Specific Standards
Powder coating enhances the finish of electronics enclosures in line with varying performance and quality standards. For instance, enclosures for outdoor applications may require metal-rich primers to ensure sufficient protection in environmental extremes. ASTM and AAMA standards also set requirements for adhesion, weather, and other performance characteristics.
At MWHP, we hold ISO 9001 certification and continuously monitor the coating thickness, adhesion, and color consistency of enclosures as part of our commitment to excellent product quality. This allows us to provide durable, hygienic finishes that adhere to regulatory standards.
Addressing Custom Enclosure Coating Requirements
Size, dimensional requirements, and aesthetics all play a role in delivering effective enclosures. With powder coating, this can involve using different colors, textures, and thicknesses to achieve the desired finish. Customization can also address needs relating to corrosion resistance, durability, or resistance to specific environmental hazards.
MWHP can apply special primers and topcoats in-house to meet your performance needs. We also conduct adhesion and flexibility testing on enclosures, along with weld inspections and CMM verification processes.
