QUALICOAT is an international association that sets the standards for the quality of architectural powder coatings. The organisation’s mission is to ensure that powder coatings used in the construction industry meet high standards of quality, durability, and environmental sustainability.
To gain QUALICOAT accreditation, a company must demonstrate that its pre-treatment and powder coating processes meet the strict criteria set by the organisation. This includes rigorous testing for performance, durability, and resistance to weathering, as well as compliance with environmental regulations. The accreditation process also includes regular on-site inspections to ensure that the company continues to meet the required standards.
EQC continues to work diligently to meet and maintain the stringent criteria set by QUALICOAT. This ongoing commitment reflects EQC’s focus on producing high-quality and sustainable products that meet the needs of the construction and architectural industry, giving customers confidence in the long-term performance and durability of EQC’s powder coating solutions.
Automatic powder coating facility
The fully automatic powder coating facility at Euro Quality Coatings is one of the most modern and advanced facilities in the UK.
The powder coating plant is capable of processing a variety of substrates including aluminium, steel, galvanised steel, e-coated steel and non-ferrous castings. The plant includes a multi-stage inline pretreatment tunnel with both Zirconium phosphate and chrome free pretreatment systems.
Powder application
Powder application is by means of automatic reciprocating powder spray guns with additional facilities to perform manual touch in operations before and after the spray booth. The combination of automatic spray alongside a manual spray capability enables us to provide the best possible coverage of sheet materials and more intricate components.
Powder cure
Powder curing is by means of a gas fired convection oven which is maintained to the highest standard to ensure proper cure of the applied powder coating. Daily temperature profiling of the powder curing oven is carried out to ensure reliability of this equipment.
Inspection and packing
End of line inspection and packing is carried out by trained staff. Each job is inspected and packed to individual customer specifications where requested.
