Rhinehart Finishing is the leading industrial powder coating company serving a variety of industries. Industrial powder coating is the electrostatic application of dry epoxies, plastics, polyesters and other materials. The process provides a durable and long-lasting finish to protect high-performance machinery. Best suited for rougher and more rugged environments, professional powder coating protects your equipment and enables enhanced performance even in the harshest conditions.
When compared to industrial spray painting, the use of powder coating offers a higher level of adhesion and durability compared to most liquid paints. This process also delivers better coverage in hard-to-reach areas, creating an extremely effective seal for every inch of your equipment. Although the approach may differ depending on the part or product being painted, our full-service capabilities include mechanical cleaning and pretreatment to ensure the best results. As your powder coating specialists, we also offer extensive paint quality testing after application.
Durability for Demanding Applications
Our high-performance heavy equipment coating capabilities are ideal for industries that build machinery used in demanding applications. These include everything from construction equipment to the military and defense sector. As a TACOM-approved military-grade powder coating applicator, the reliability of our services is second to none. Our CARC coating capabilities offer best-in-class chemical resistance for the most demanding environments. No matter the industry, our goal is to provide our clients with the most dependable equipment.
Rhinehart offers numerous types of powder coats to provide our clients with the best solution for their situation. Depending on the desired performance outcome, we may recommend epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, acrylic or hybrid mixtures for your equipment.
Advantages of High-Performance Powder Coating
Beyond obvious qualities such as their versatility and longevity, some other main advantages of powder coatings include:
- Corrosion Resistance – These create a thicker and more resilient layer of protection against corrosion and chemical exposure.
- Heat- and Chip-Resistant – Although most paints will chip when exposed to dry and hot environments, industrial powder coats are designed to withstand them.
- VOC-Free – Because they are free of flammable and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), they don’t pose risks to employees.
- Reusable and Recyclable – Overspray from the application process can be easily recovered and recirculated for future use to eliminate wasted materials.
- Less Maintenance – Performance powder coating not only is more durable but also requires less upkeep and reapplication. You can restore the quality and appearance of your equipment quickly with simple cleaning methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What industries benefit most from industrial powder coating?
The corrosion resistance and chemical protection powder coating offers make it invaluable for heavy-duty industries including military and defense, manufacturing, agriculture, and construction. Our coatings can resist the abrasive use, chemical exposure, and severe environmental conditions these sectors encounter daily, protecting vital equipment and ensuring safe working environments.
How does powder coating compare to wet paint for industrial applications?
Compared to traditional liquid-based paints, powder coatings offer better resistance to chipping, fading, and chemical exposure. It also provides a uniform finish on metal surfaces, unlike liquid paints that can run before curing. This means powder coating offers superior appearance and performance even on complex geometries. In addition, these coatings are free from VOCs, making them an eco-conscious choice for industrial paint finishing.
What quality control steps are taken during the electrostatic powder coating process?
Rhinehart goes to great lengths to ensure the overall quality of a powder coating finish, including extensive surface preparation, pre-treatment, curing, and quality assurance protocols. We provide comprehensive testing for adhesion, thickness, and durability as part of our standard quality control processes, and our ISO-certified procedures and consistent documentation ensure repeatable results for every batch.
Can Rhinehart handle large or uniquely shaped industrial parts?
Yes, our facilities feature powder coating booths and handling systems that can accommodate large, irregular, or heavy components. We have expertise that includes heavy machinery, fabricated structures, and complex assemblies where even coverage and adhesion are essential. Whether your project calls for high-volume production or specialty one-off finishes, we can handle them with the same level of precision.
