What is Premium Powder Coating?

Many people may wonder about the different types of home elevator painting available. KALEA Lifts, a leading Swedish company specializing in the production of luxury home elevators, creates innovative, smart home elevators under the classic “simple yet elegant” brand from Sweden, with a history spanning over 120 years. Using innovative screw-system elevator design, we pay meticulous attention to every detail of our customers’ elevators, from design and safety to the choice of color.

While most elevator companies use RAL color palettes with over 200 shades to choose from, KALEA Lifts offers premium powder coating, which adds a high degree of luxury through multiple layers of paint.

This article will delve deeper into premium powder coating, as follows:

Premium powder coating has a powder-like texture. 

1. What is Premium Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a technique where the paint is applied as a powder, resulting in a beautiful, durable finish. The unique application process allows for the application of powder paint to various materials such as metal, steel, and aluminum. It’s a type of coating that uses a dry, powder-like substance, unlike typical liquid paints. Generally, powder coating uses static electricity and is dried under heat or ultraviolet light. The powder can be thermoplastic or thermoset polymer. Powder coating is mostly used for metal surfaces such as automobiles, luxury furniture, and high-end gates.

2. What types of premium powder coatings are available?

Glossy
High-gloss powder coatings are the most popular and frequently used, a staple in almost every shop, known for their high-quality gloss and polished appearance.

Matte
Offering a raw, matte powder coating style, matte finishes are popular due to their luxurious appeal. Simple and classic, because the color won’t reflect light into your eyes.

Sparkly
With the trend of “sparkling” effect coatings moving towards more luxurious and subtle effects, high-performance powders can provide the metallic effect you desire.

Metallic
Metallic refers to powder coatings that add a metallic or sparkling effect. These metallic pigments are often aluminum or mica flakes and can vary in color and size. Some are very noticeably sparkly or shimmering.

3. Advantages of Premium Powder Coating

Besides being more luxurious, beautiful, and distinctive than other types of paint, powder coating offers many advantages. The main advantage is the durability of the material after application. Despite scratches, bending, folding, and strong impacts, the paint remains in good condition, lasting a long time. Difficult to peel off.

• Looks more luxurious, detailed, and premium than ordinary RAL colors.
• Powder coating is known for its durability and environmental friendliness; it is safe and contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• The powder residue from the spraying process can be reused, reducing costs.
• Allows for a thicker surface finish with just one coat.
• Can be used to cover up unsightly surface imperfections.
• Powder coating has high resistance to scratching and impact.
• Powder coating is difficult to ignite and highly safe.
• Suitable for products requiring a robust appearance, such as cars and elevators.
• Provides a smoother and more even surface finish than oil-based paints.

4. How do premium powder-coated colors differ from RAL colors?

Simply put, RAL color guides are German industrial color standards used for color matching and as color samples in product design. These are the colors used in washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, and household appliances. However, premium powder coatings are more luxurious, used in automobiles, and offer greater durability and aesthetic appeal than standard RAL colors.

Premium colors are extremely popular. The global powder coating market is projected to reach US$16.55 billion by 2024. The increased use of powder coatings for aluminum extrusions used in windows, door frames, building facades, kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical equipment will drive industry expansion. Increased construction spending in several countries, including China, the US, Mexico, Qatar, the UAE, India, Vietnam, and Singapore, will fuel growth during the forecast period.
The increased use of powder coatings is expected due to their corrosion protection, excellent outdoor durability, and high-temperature performance.

5. What types of elevator shaft colors does KALEA Lift offer?

We offer a selection of premium powder-coated elevator shaft colors, including over 200 RAL colors. In the current painting industry, powder coating is widely accepted as highly popular due to its aesthetic appeal, durability, and wide range of application options to meet user needs, as well as its unique visual appeal.
