What is meant by powder coated yellow?

When a product is powder coated yellow, it means that it’s been coated with a special type of dry powder, which gives it a strong, durable finish and a yellow appearance.

This powder is electrostatically charged, which means it sticks to the metal evenly. Once the powder is applied, the coated item is placed in an oven. The heat melts the powder, creating a smooth, hard finish that’s very tough and long-lasting.

 

When you see crash barriers in car parks or warehouses that are powder-coated yellow, it means they’ve gone through this process. The bright yellow colour makes them easy to see, which is great for high visibility for pedestrians. Since these barriers are made from galvanised steel, the powder coating also helps to protect them from rust and wear.

Whether it’s ends, corners, barriers, Z style posts or RSJ posts, powder coating adds an extra layer of security to all Armco barrier systems.

Is powder coating better than paint?

Powder coating creates a thicker, more durable finish compared to paint. This makes it especially effective for crash barriers and Armco barriers that need to withstand impacts from other vehicles and harsh environmental conditions.

The powder coating process also provides excellent protection against corrosion and wear. This is essential for Armco rails exposed to the elements, allowing them to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including rain, snow, and UV rays (for certain types of powder coats), without breaking down or fading.

What are the benefits of powder coating?

Here’s why powder coating is an excellent choice for Armco barrier beams and posts:

  • Powder coating creates a tough, resilient finish that resists chips, scratches, and wear. This durability helps maintain the integrity and appearance of Armco, even in high-traffic areas.

  • Powder coating produces fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to traditional paint. This makes it a more environmentally friendly option, reducing the impact on air quality and worker health.

  • Powder-coated Armco barriers are designed for easy installation, saving time and reducing labour costs during setup.

While no coating can make a product completely rust-proof, powder-coated products are one of the most resistant to rust. The thick, even layer of powder coating acts as a barrier, preventing moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive elements from reaching the metal underneath.

While it is incredibly resilient, like any coating, powder coating can wear off over time, especially in high-traffic or harsh environmental conditions. However, unlike traditional paint, powder coating does not easily peel or flake off, ensuring that your barriers maintain their protective qualities and appearance for many years.

Yes, you can paint over powder-coated Armco barriers, but it takes a bit of preparation to get it right. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Clean the Surface: Start by giving the powder-coated surface a good clean to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. This step is crucial for the new paint to stick properly.

  2. Light Sanding: Lightly sand the surface to create a bit of texture. This helps the paint adhere better. Use fine-grit sandpaper for this.

  3. Apply Primer: Put on a coat of high-quality primer that’s suitable for metal surfaces. This ensures the paint will bond well with the powder coating.

  4. Paint: Once the primer is dry, you can paint. Apply several thin coats, letting each one dry before adding the next.
