Pretreatment for Powder Coating
Switching to Powder
We are a custom powder coater and a customer of ours wants to switch from e-coat to powder coat on his zinc parts. Is there something that either we, or our customer, can do to assure these zinc parts will have adequate and consistent adhesion? We coat aluminum and steel all day long and do not have these adhesion problems.

The results have consistently been blisters and significant creepback from scribe. How can we improve our adhesion and weather resistance on these die castings? What is causing the blistering? We could instead use a TGIC Polyester? Would these powders perform better?
