Powder Info
Powder Coatings We Work With
PJ Powder works with a range of established powder coating manufacturers, giving us access to thousands of colors, textures, and coating formulations. Over time, we’ve built experience with these suppliers and understand how their products perform in real-world applications, not just on paper.
Each manufacturer offers standard production colors along with specialty coatings designed for specific environments. Depending on the application, powders can be selected for increased resistance to chemicals, UV exposure, weathering, or saltwater conditions.
Custom color matching is also available through most suppliers when a project requires a specific appearance or needs to meet an existing standard.
Because we regularly work with parts across a variety of industries, we focus not just on how a coating looks, but how it performs over time. We consider where the part will be used, what it will be exposed to, and what level of durability is required.
If needed, we can help guide coating selection by outlining the benefits and limitations of different powder types, allowing you to make an informed decision based on your application.

Finish Care
Cleaning of Powder Coated Surfaces
Regular proper cleaning can greatly extend the service life of your powder coated surfaces. Care should be taken in cleaning any powder coated surface and should always be tested in a suitable location.
- Only use soft non-abrasive cloths and never use an abrasive cleaner.
- Only use cleaners with a neutral PH (7). Never use a strong acid or alkaline.
- Never use solvents.
- For greasy, oily or sooty surfaces use Isopropyl Alcohol or white spirits free of aromatic compounds. Adhesive residues can also be cleaned in this manner.
- Detergents should not be used at temperatures above 75°.
- The surface temperature of the item being cleaned should not exceed 75°.
- Surfaces being cleaned should immediately be rinsed with cool water.
- Any lubricants or cutting fluids coming into contact with your powder coated surface should be neutral PH (7) and should be tested for suitability.
- Suntan lotions, oil and creams, can adversely affect powder coating and should be cleaned immediately.
- Wet concrete should be removed from powder coated surfaces immediately.
- Surfaces should be cleaned at least once per year. Surfaces exposed extreme conditions such as salt water, chemicals, or exhaust should be cleaned more frequently.
These are general cleaning guidelines. The service application of the part, powder chemistry and environmental conditions will determine the practical cleaning methods and frequency.
