Powder coating

Our powder-coating line was renovated in 2023, with new technology, capacity and performance. Since then we also accept individual powder-coating jobs for the manufacturing industry.

Order limits

  • Maximum product size: 2000 × 180 × 1650 mm or 2000 × 480 × 1100 mm
  • Minimum order: €350

Why powder coating

Together with our powder supplier AkzoNobel we tested many coating methods. Over 30 years Vlukon has developed its own pre-treatment and coating processes for a long rim life. Powder coating gives superior hardness, durability and corrosion protection, and a decorative finish. It emits zero or near-zero volatile organic compounds.

Process: degreasing, phosphating, washing, drying, powder application and oven curing. The powder sticks to the metal by electrostatic charge and melts in the oven into a tough, solid film. Result: long-lasting protection, even in acid and ammonia environments such as farms.
