The coated fence material is then placed in an oven where the powder particles are literally melted and then form a smooth continuous finish that bonds to the metal.
A frequently overlooked advantage of the powder coating process is that it is somewhat environmentally friendly. The powder coating process eliminates wet paint solvents acting as a medium that eventually must evaporate into the atmosphere during a paint drying process. If you are environmentally conscious you will be keen on this fact of the powder coating process.
