Part Preparation

Part Preparation is essential to any coating process. F3 Metalworx has the experience and methods to wash, apply conversion coating, seal, mask and properly prepare aluminum, ferrous and non-ferrous part surfaces for electrostatic application of powder coatings. Our processes have demonstrated up to 1,000 hours of Salt Spray Durability.
At F3 Metalworx we have two multi-stage pretreatment systems: Multi stage Iron Phosphate Pretreatment with available Seal Coat. We also have the experience and tooling to mask electrical contacts and threaded connections

Dustless Blasting

Dustless blasting removes virtually any coating from any surface including metal, wood and fiberglass. By incorporating water into the blasting process, friction and heat are removed so there is no fear of metal warpage. The surface temperature is approximately 10 degrees cooler than the ambient temperature. When watching dustless blasting videos, what appears to be "dust" is actually water mist. This water mist encapsulates the abrasive material and coating being removed which quickly falls to the ground.

We can accomplish these tasks at a competitive price and may reduce your total packaging and shipping costs.
