One of the key advantages of powder paint is the higher mil-thickness over standard wet apply paints.\u00a0 Although this is an advantage from a corrosion and durability standpoint, it presents considerable fit and function issues of mating components.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The following list summarizes common applications of selective powder coating:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Sliding Wear:<\/strong> Powder coating, although durable for a paint process, does not have hardness sufficient for most sliding or wear applications.\u00a0 Selective powder coating prevents coating build on critical wear surfaces.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Part Tolerances and Threaded Features:\u00a0<\/strong>Powder coating builds an average thickness of 0.001-0.004 inches per side.\u00a0 The magnitude and nonuniformity of powder paint thickness is an inherent coating property.\u00a0 This amount of paint is commonly a concern for threaded surfaces as well as tighter tolerance features.\u00a0 Selective powder coating allows for the benefits of powder paint on most surfaces without fitment issues on these critical dimensional features.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Sealing Surfaces:<\/strong> Due to the fact that powder paint is an organic coating, it does not work well with sealing of gasket materials on sealing surfaces.\u00a0 To ensure proper function, most gasket or seal surfaces require selective powder coating.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Conductive Surfaces:\u00a0<\/strong>Powder coating is a relatively thick organic coating and as such is both an electrical and thermal insulator.\u00a0 Many powder coated components used in the electronics, telecommunications and powder distribution industries must be masked at locations designed to pass current or heat, such as bus bar ends, grounding points, heat sinks or terminal contacts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/powder-marked-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5945 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/powder-marked-1-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/powder-marked-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/powder-marked-1-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/powder-marked-1-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/powder-marked-1.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Advanced Plating Technologies welcomes the opportunity to provide selective powder coating across a wide range of applications.\u00a0 Our technical sales group can work in association with product design and engineering staff to determine the best methods and techniques to provide the selective powder paint.\u00a0 Advanced Plating Technologies has the capabilities of coupling plating and powder coating finishes for applications in selective powder coating where the masked features must retain conductivity.\u00a0 Common applications include <a title=\"Electroless Nickel Plating\" href=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/electroless-nickel-plating-services\/electroless-nickel-plating\/\">electroless nickel plating<\/a>, <a title=\"Tin Plating\" href=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/electrolytic-plating\/tin-plating-services\/\">tin plating<\/a> and <a title=\"Silver Plating\" href=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/electrolytic-plating\/silver-plating-services\/\">silver plating<\/a> combined with selective powder coating.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a title=\"Contact\" href=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/contact\/\">contact<\/a> a member of our technical sales group to discuss your specific application.\u00a0 If submitting a <a title=\"Request for Quote\" href=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/request-for-quote\/\">request for quote<\/a> from our website, a text field is provided to detail any specific selective powder coating requirements.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selective Powder Coating by Advanced Plating Technologies &nbsp;
