In today’s industries, protecting metal surfaces from corrosion, abrasion, and environmental exposure is more than a maintenance task; it’s a long-term investment. At Sundial Powder Coating, we go beyond conventional finishes by offering polyethylene and polyolefin coatings, advanced thermoplastic systems that provide exceptional protection, durability, and performance in harsh conditions.
These coatings are engineered to last, delivering the reliability and strength that traditional paints and standard powder coatings can’t always achieve.
What Are Polyethylene and Polyolefin Coatings?
Polyethylene (PE) and polyolefin (PO) coatings are part of a family of thermoplastic polymers that melt and fuse onto a substrate to form a smooth, seamless layer. Once applied, they create a dense, highly adhesive barrier that shields the metal from oxygen, moisture, salts, and chemicals.
- Polyethylene coatings are derived from high-density (HDPE) or low-density (LDPE) materials, providing a moisture-tight and flexible finish.
- Polyolefin coatings build on this technology by combining polyethylene and polypropylene resins, enhancing chemical stability, toughness, and impact resistance.
Together, they deliver a next-generation coating system combining superior protection, long lifespan, and excellent surface aesthetics.
Why Choose Polyethylene and Polyolefin Coatings?
These coatings are not just about protection; they’re about performance and longevity. Here’s why industries are switching to them:
- Exceptional Corrosion Resistance
The coatings form an impermeable barrier, preventing moisture and oxygen from reaching the metal and stopping rust before it starts. - Outstanding Chemical Resistance
Resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents, these coatings perform reliably even in chemical processing or marine environments. - High Impact Strength
The flexibility and toughness of polyolefins make them ideal for applications where impact or abrasion is a concern. - Thermal and UV Stability
Polyethylene coatings maintain structural integrity and color even when exposed to heat and sunlight for extended periods. - Long-Term Cost Efficiency
With minimal maintenance requirements and an extended lifespan, these coatings reduce downtime and reapplication costs. - Eco-Friendly Composition
Both polyethylene and polyolefin coatings are non-toxic and recyclable, supporting sustainable manufacturing and green building practices.
Applications of Polyethylene & Polyolefin Coatings
At Sundial Powder Coating, we apply these high-performance coatings across diverse sectors. Common applications include:
- Oil & Gas Pipelines: Internal and external corrosion protection.
- Water & Wastewater Systems: Safe, chemical-resistant coatings for tanks and pipelines.
- Structural Steel & Infrastructure: Long-lasting coatings for bridges, buildings, and construction components.
- Marine Equipment: Resistance to salt spray, humidity, and sea exposure.
- Electrical Components & Cable Systems: Insulation and protection against wear.
- Automotive & Transportation: Chassis parts, underbody protection, and custom fabrications.
Each project is handled with precision and care, ensuring perfect surface preparation, consistent film thickness, and uniform coverage.
Our Process: How Sundial Delivers Superior Coating Results
Our coating process is designed for performance and consistency:
- Surface Preparation
Metal surfaces are cleaned and blasted to remove impurities and ensure maximum adhesion. - Pre-Treatment
A specialized primer or adhesion promoter may be applied, depending on the substrate and service environment. - Coating Application
Polyethylene or polyolefin is applied using advanced thermal or electrostatic techniques for uniform coverage. - Heat Fusion/Curing
The coating is heat-fused or cured to create a continuous, durable bond. - Inspection & Quality Testing
Every coated surface undergoes thickness, adhesion, and finish testing to meet our high-quality standards.
