What is Electrostatic Painting and How Does It Work?

Electrostatic painting is a process by which powdered paint pigments are electrically charged and sprayed as a liquid on a variety of surfaces. The paint’s electrical charge causes it to fuse with the targeted surface material to create a tough bond. The result is a flawless finish that protects the targeted material from moisture damage and corrosion.

Not every commercial painting contractor offers electrostatic painting services. Electrostatic painting requires special equipment and training to atomize, apply an electrical charge, and efficiently spray the paint on targeted surfaces. Excel Painting Services has over 15 years of experience doing electrostatic painting in commercial and industrial environments. Our painters understand the characteristics of electrostatic paints and how to use electrostatic equipment to get a smooth, long-lasting finish for your paint project.

Save Money on Your Next Painting Project with Electrostatic Spray Painting

The original electrostatic painting process was invented over 80 years ago, and commercial painters continue to use it because of its inherent efficiency. Electrostatic paint guns allow professional painters to apply paint precisely and only in amounts that are needed to cover targeted surfaces sufficiently. When applied properly, electrostatic paint wraps around every corner and curve of target surfaces without wasting paint in the form of runs and drips. According to industry experts, electrostatic painting can save you at least $25 per gallon of paint when compared to using other types of painting methods.

Refinishing commercial and industrial surfaces often makes more economic sense than replacing walls, furniture, and fixtures with newer materials. Our electrostatic painting services include prepping surfaces for painting by cleaning and removing corrosive materials. We apply electrostatic paint products in a variety of colors that give beautiful, new finishes to your surfaces. Our services help to preserve your original investment for years of future use.

Places Where Electrostatic Painting Works Best

Electrostatic painting works on both porous and non-porous surfaces. While professional painters can coat materials such as plastic and wood with electrostatic paints, they most commonly apply those paints to metal surfaces. Metal walls, partitions, and handrails are just a few examples of places where electrostatic painting performs best.

Our electrostatic painting services aren’t just for building walls and fixtures. We also use electrostatic paint to restore valuable metal furniture, protect outdoor metal fencing, and preserve HVAC ductwork. The large cabinets and shelves that house your company’s network equipment are candidates for electrostatic painting. Professional painters also apply electrostatic paints to lockers at public high schools and universities.

Performance Benefits of Electrostatic Painting

With its durable ingredients and electrical charge, electrostatic paint is a formidable foe against excess moisture that leads to corrosion, mold growth, and rot. It’s recognized by most commercial painting professionals as the go-to painting method for industrial environments. Electrostatic painting allows our commercial painters to create finishes that withstand harsh outdoor weather in Suffolk County and heavy-duty utility in local warehouses. Electrostatic painted surfaces that are exposed to outdoor weather have been known to last up to seven years with minimal signs of wear.

Electrostatic spray painting results in a smooth finish that dries quicker than other paint processes. Faster drying times allow us to finish projects efficiently and minimize disruptions to your business operations.
