Powder Coat
Powder coating administers a fine powder of coloring agents that, when heated, fuse to the aluminum to form a continuous coating. Briteline Extrusions runs both an automated line and a hand booth operation designed to handle material up to 12 feet in length.
Extrusions are prepared for powder coating using a pretreatment process that applies a conversion coating. When dry, the extrusions are hung on customized racks to begin the powder coating process. Once powder is applied with electrostatic guns the extrusions are placed in one of two ovens. We use both infrared and gas ovens to cure the finish.

- High quality

- Long-lasting
Automated Line
In January 2011, Briteline invested in new Nordson powder coating equipment for the automated line. The new System Control (iControl) was added to give repeatability and consistency from order to order.
Eight new computer controlled powder coat guns were installed for better transfer efficiency and more consistent film thickness. Encore powder pumps and Nutro reciprocators were also installed to complete this overall upgrade.
Powder used in the automated line can be reclaimed.
Hand Booth
Briteline’s hand booth is used for small batch orders. Maximum length is 12 feet.
Stock and Custom Colors
Briteline purchases stock and custom powder coat colors from the top suppliers in the country. Powder coat inventory is kept in a temperature-controlled room.
