Why Powder Coating?

There are real advantages of 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 and thus it is possible to achieve nearly 100% use of the coating.
  • Powder coating production lines produce less hazardous waste than conventional liquid coatings.
  • Powder coated items generally have fewer appearance differences between horizontally coated surfaces and vertically coated surfaces than liquid coated items.
  • A wide range of specialty effects is easily accomplished, which would be impossible to achieve with other coating processes.

Why Municipal Structure Restoration

Maintaining the appearance of your municipal structures is critical to your town’s appearance and reputation. While replacing aged or weathered structures typically involves tremendous expense, we can restore them instead, as long as the integrity of structure is sound. The Blast Shop has experience in municipal structure restoration and is able to advise you on the feasibility of restoring a variety of metal structures.

Typically any metal structure that can removed and shipped, can be restored. We can arrange for shipping, disassembly and reassembly.

Metal structures may include:

  • Bus shelters
  • Light posts and light fixtures
  • Benches
  • Rails and fences
  • Trash receptacles
  • Markers and plaques
  • Plus many more
