Wright Coating’s proprietary Wrylon corrosion-resistant powder coating process is a great choice for a wide array of applications. It’s strong, durable, protects against corrosive chemicals, and is wear-resistant. This coating process produces a controlled thickness Nylon11 coating that can be used in multiple tight tolerance applications with a variety of powders and nylon powders. This anti-corrosion powder coating has a low environmental impact and consumes fewer non-renewable resources than traditional paint. Wrylon anti-corrosion powder coating is applied by using specialized spray guns that monitor and control the thickness of the coating. The parts being coated are preheated and then the nylon coating is applied. After the parts are coated, they pass through a final cure to finish the Wrylon powder coating process. We have developed this unique anti- corrosion powder coating process through a system of trial and error over many years and are now capable of coating virtually any parts with Nylon11. Wrylon thickness is typically 3.5 MLS +/- 1.5 MLS, we can create the perfect coating thickness for your project needs.

Some industries already benefiting from our Wrylon powder coating process are automotive, furniture, appliances, and multiple others, but this process can be used in any industry for multiple parts. Thanks to its excellent combination of thermal, physical, chemical, and mechanical properties our anti-corrosion nylon coating is a preferred material in even the most demanding applications. It also has slip characteristics which give it a self-lubricating effect and will eliminate buzz, squeak, and rattle. This process can be applied to your parts either electrostatically or in a fluidized bed dip.

Wright Coating Technologies is an ISO 9001:2015 registered coatings applicator that places a strong emphasis on meeting and exceeding expectations. Instrumentation is calibrated by our staff and kept in the quality department’s temperature-controlled area to ensure quality corrosion-resistant powder coatings.

Epoxy (Electrostatic Spray) – Epoxy-based Electrostatic Spray powder coating is used to protect metal substrates such as steel and aluminum from corrosion in a variety of applications. 

Epoxy coatings are Thermoset Polymer coatings that come under the category of 'protective coatings' in paints and coating nomenclature. Epoxy-based Electrostatic Spray powder coating is applied through a spray process where the part is electrostatically sprayed with a dry powder that is fluidized with air and then posts cured. Electrostatic Sprayed Epoxy is generally applied at a thickness of 1.5 – 4.5 mils (thousandths of an inch). The name “Epoxy” is due to resin cross-linking and the application method, which is different from conventional paint. The resin and hardener components in the dry powder form do not react in normal storage conditions. Typical coating application temperatures range from 180°C to 250 °C (360°F to 480 °F). Epoxy-based powders are not recommended for exterior applications. 

Epoxy (Fluid Bed) – Epoxy-based Fluid Bed powder coating is often used to protect metal substrates like steel and aluminum, in a wide variety of applications, from corrosion.

The Fluid Bed process is most often used when a part requires a thicker coating compared to electrostatic spray powder. The Fluid Bed Epoxy coating is applied through a dip process where the part is preheated and dipped into a dry powder that is fluidized with air then post cured. Fluid Bed Epoxy is generally applied at a thickness of 5 – 30 mils (thousandths of an inch). The resin and hardener components in the dry powder form do not react in normal storage conditions. Typical coating application temperatures range from 180°C to 250 °C (360°F to 480 °F). Epoxy-based powders are not recommended for exterior applications.

Is Powder Coating Better Than Painting?

Powder coatings provide better performance than traditional wet painting as it is more rugged and resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and weathering. Powder-coated surfaces also resist chipping, scratching, and other wear much more effectively than wet paint. Typically wet paint should be used in applications where the material being finished cannot withstand the heat necessary for powder coating. In nearly every other scenario, powder coating is more superior. Powder coatings are less expensive in comparison to paint and can cover more area than most finishers, which means lower material costs than wet painting processes.

Traditional wet paint is also extremely flammable and contains carcinogens and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Not surprisingly, these chemicals are hazardous to plant employees if proper precautions are not met. Powder coatings do not contain VOCs and are without solvents, meaning they pose much less of a chemical risk to workers. Beyond being a risk to workers, VOCs and solvents also create a pollution concern. Powder coating is a much cleaner process, as well. Overspray can be gathered and reused, and unused powder can be retrieved and put back in a hopper for recirculation, eliminating a lot of waste. 

Powder Coating Advantages

There are several advantages to powder coating over conventional liquid coatings:

• Powder coatings emit zero or near zero volatile organic compounds (VOC)
• Powder coatings can produce much thicker coatings than conventional liquid coatings without running or sagging
• Powder coating overspray can be recycled making it possible to achieve nearly 100% use
• Powder coating production lines produce less hazardous waste than conventional liquid coatings
• Powder-coated items generally have fewer appearance differences between horizontally and vertically coated surfaces than liquid coated items
• A wide range of specialty effects are easily accomplished which would be impossible with other coating processes
• Able to handle small parts up to 26” x 12” x 52”

It protects a wide variety of applications from corrosion to impact and abrasion. Nylon coatings are thermoplastic polyamide coatings and are under the category of 'protective coatings' in paints and coating nomenclature. 

Specialty Nylon Coatings

Our Nylon 11 Coatings (Rilsan Nylon 11®) are a polyamide that is naturally derived from vegetable oil (Castor Beans). We choose to use Nylon 11 coatings because it has a low environmental impact, consumes less non-renewable resources when produced, and has a superior thermal resistance. It is used in high-performance applications such as automotive, office furniture, and appliances. Nylon is the material of choice for the most demanding applications due largely to its unique combination of thermal, physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Together, the result is an outstanding cost-performance ratio. Another unique quality of Nylon is that it meets autoclave requirements, making it ideal for any industry.

Wright Coating’s proprietary Wrylon process produces a controlled thin-film thickness Nylon 11 that can be used in tight tolerance applications to resist impact, corrosion, and chemicals. We are able to handle small parts and sizes up to 30” x 48” x 20”.
