At Sundial Powder Coating isn’t just a service it’s a science backed by precision, consistency and proven performance. Unlike many competitors who rely on generic processes or low-cost shortcuts, we invest in advanced pre-treatment methods, high-grade primers and super-durable topcoats engineered to withstand harsh environments. Our blasting and coating techniques are designed to maximize adhesion, resist corrosion and maintain color stability for years, even under extreme outdoor exposure.
Whether it’s oversized fencing projects, architectural components or industrial equipment, Sundial delivers a finish that is not only visually superior but also technically stronger. By integrating rigorous quality checks at every stage and maintaining a focus on both efficiency and detail, we provide our customers with coatings that outperform industry standards, making Sundial the trusted choice when long-lasting results truly matter.
Sundial vs. Industry Standards: A Technical Comparison:
| Feature | Industry Standard | Sundial Powder Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Treatment (“Wash”) | 3–5 tank process (alkaline degrease + rinse + phosphate + rinse) | 7-stage system: inline DI (deionized) water + iron-phosphate wash + DI rinse + passivation |
| Coating Chemistry | Standard TGIC polyester powders (RAL colors), AAMA 2603 compliant | Super-durable TGIC/polyester (RAL), AAMA 2604 / QUALICOAT II / GSB Florida 3 compliant; far higher UV & color stability |
| Application Equipment | Generic electrostatic spray guns (corona charge), limited operator oversight | Nordson SureCoat™ tribo guns (ideal for recesses/holes) + 6 skilled operators ensuring consistent, full coverage |
| Curing Ovens | Single/batch ovens; infrequent calibration | Multiple conveyor ovens with PID control & real-time data logging; precise cure profiles (350–525°F) |
| Quality Control | Spot checks and random film-thickness inspections | 100% inspection: gloss, thickness, adhesion measured on every part; QA standards with reference samples ensure uniformity |
| Certifications | ISO 9001 (in some facilities) or none | AS9100 aerospace-certified, ANAB accredited; fully compliant with PCI 3000 and defense/aerospace coating specifications |
| Throughput & Capacity | ~12 ft/min line speed; smaller-volume capability | 300+ ft automated conveyor line for high-volume orders; advanced scheduling and automation for consistent productivity |
This comparison highlights how Sundial’s processes go beyond baseline industry practices delivering superior durability, consistency and throughput that professionals can measure and rely on.
Beyond superior process control and certifications, Sundial is built to handle the most demanding applications across industries where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.
