It doesn’t take too long living in the Pacific Northwest to realize that precipitation and moisture are rules rather than exceptions. No one can deny that while the climate allows for all sorts of natural beauty—dense forests with a million shades of green and enough varieties of fungi to be the mycological equivalent to Disneyland, just to name a few—yet it is also terribly detrimental to anything made out of metal. Alas, rust and its tedious removal can easily become the bane of a Northwesterner’s existence. Luckily, here in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area however, someone is watching out for us.

Torklift Central proudly offers custom powder coat and sandblasting services near Seattle for just about anything you could imagine. We specialize in maximum moisture and rust prevention/removal.

Spray paint sealants fail to
 protect like powder coat

But why go with a powder coat finish, regardless of affordability, when you could buy a can of rust- preventing paint? Well, any average joe off the street can channel their inner Rembrandt with a can of paint… But four uneven coats, a few dried drips and a couple of touch-ups later and you may change your mind.

Here’s what a powder coat finish has to offer over other rust preventatives:

  • Powder coat yields a thicker, harder finish that is more durable and lasts longer than any conventional sealant or paint
  • Powder coating makes for an evenly-coated, flawless finish
  • Powder Coating creates a seal over the metal, preventing any potential moisture damage
  • Powder coating yields a smooth surface with no drips or application traces that paint only wishes it could replicate
  • The electrostatic application of a powder coat finish makes for less wasted material and produces fewer volatile compounds, making it far more environmentally friendly than conventional spray paints

Keep in mind that the quality and longevity of your powder coat finish heavily depends on the capability of the equipment and preparation process. But with Torklift Central you don’t have to worry about that. Our five-stage process begins with the intensive preparation of your metal parts,

complete with sandblasting, an eco-friendly wash and a trip to the pre-dry oven to ensure that the surface is free of all moisture, contaminants and imperfections. We’ll achieve optimal condition for the powder coat to properly adhere. Then comes the electro-static application of the powder coating itself, where a magnetic attraction is created between your part and the powder for full and even coverage. Finally, your powder coated part visits the 420-degree cure oven to bake out any excess moisture that would compromise the final seal, leaving you with the sleek and durable finish of your dreams.

In addition to having the powder coat application process down to a science, here is what else Torklift Central has to offer:

  • A state of the art 7,200 square foot powder coat facility for crafting high standards and ultimate durability
  • Hundreds of standard powder coat colors and unlimited custom colors: we have the ability to apply protective finish on any custom metal item you can imagine
