That’s exciting news for us at A-1 Paint, Powder and Sandblasting because our patented PowderGALV® process is what made it a lucrative decision for them. In fact we have partnered with them on this facility.
AZZ Inc. is a global provider of galvanizing services, welding solutions, specialty electrical equipment and other services. They were so impressed with the quality of the exclusive PowderGALV® process, they decided to partner with A-1 Paint, Powder and Sandblasting to take advantage of this new process.
Why Is PowderGALV® So Successful?
The patented PowderGALV® process is an exclusive 3-step powder coating process that helps paint adhere to galvanized steel parts solving an industry-wide problem. The PowderGALV® process involves two specific kinds of coatings – both a protective coating as well as an aesthetic coating.
The combination of these two coatings creates excellent mechanical and chemical resistance allowing PowderGALV® steel parts to last for multiple years in challenging environments which require outstanding anti-corrosion properties.
AZZ Plant Features One of the Largest Coating Cure Ovens in the Nation
AZZ Galvanizing is a leading provider of metal finishing solutions for corrosion protection, including hot dip galvanizing, to the North American steel fabrication industry. The new facility in Crowley, TX is adjacent to AZZ’s existing hot dip galvanizing plant and will feature duplex metal coating and a sixty-foot cure oven. This oven is one of the largest coating cure ovens in the nation.
