Protective coatings

At Kowala Non-Ferrous Metal Foundry, we place great emphasis on protecting the surface of our castings. Using modern technologies such as cathodic dip coating (KTL) and powder coating, we ensure our products achieve high resistance to corrosion, UV radiation, and mechanical damage. Each component leaving our facility can be comprehensively prepared – from mold design, through casting, to final surface finishing in accordance with the client’s requirements.

Powder coating

Powder coating is a modern and eco-friendly method of finishing aluminum castings, ensuring durability, resistance to weather conditions, and an aesthetic appearance. Thanks to cooperation with trusted partners, we offer a comprehensive service — from casting to a finished, protected product. 

What is powder coating?

The process involves applying electrostatically charged powder paint onto a metal surface, followed by curing the coating in an oven at high temperature (approx. 180°C). As a result, a uniform, smooth, and durable coating is formed without the use of solvents.

In our foundry the process is as follows: 
Surface preparation

Thorough cleaning and degreasing of the component, sometimes including sandblasting or shot blasting. 

The polymer powder is applied electrostatically, ensuring even adhesion across the entire surface.

The component is placed in an oven, where at high temperature (approx. 160–200°C) the powder melts and forms a uniform coating.

The part cools down, and the coating achieves its final hardness and resistance.

Inspection of coating thickness, adhesion, and appearance.

Our coatings are durable and resistant to corrosion and UV radiation, making them an ideal solution for both outdoor and industrial applications.

Cathodic Dip Coating

Cathodic dip coating (KTL) is a modern method of protecting metal surfaces, providing high corrosion resistance, uniform coverage, and durable coating performance even in hard-to-reach areas. Thanks to cooperation with trusted technology partners, we offer a comprehensive service — from casting to a finished, protected component.

What is cathodic dip coating?

Cathodic dip coating is an electrochemical painting process in which an aluminum component is immersed in a bath of water-based paint and coated with a uniform protective layer under the influence of electric voltage. After deposition, the parts are cured in an oven, ensuring excellent adhesion and coating durability.

In our foundry the process is as follows: 
Surface preparation

Thorough cleaning and degreasing of the component, sometimes including sandblasting or shot blasting. 

Fixing and hardening of the coating.
