OUR SERVICES
POWDER COATING
Powder Coating
We are committed to delivering high-quality workmanship consistently.
At Advance Sprayers, we are one of only a handful of applicators in South East QLD who are Dulux Accredited.
Only Dulux Accredited Powder Coaters are able to issue Dulux warranties after demonstrating their capability to meet stringent quality
conditions and international standards.
Our powder coating team is very experienced with our two most senior coaters having more than 40 years experience between them.
We use state of the art equipment including GEMA electrostatic powder guns, two powder coating booths and two natural gas fired ovens.
While no job is too small, our large oven capacity allow us to coat jobs up to 7.5 m long. We can also handle large multiples using our overhead
conveyor line.
With access to Dulux, Akzo and Jotun products, we provide a wide range of finishes including:
•
Comprehensive selection of colours
•
Epoxy or polyester
•
Smooth, textured, or ripple effect
•
Gloss, satin or matt finish
•
Zinc-shield coating option for extra corrosion protection
SPRAY PAINTING
Spray Painting
We offer industrial and commercial two pack spray painting on all materials including metal, aluminium and timber.
Our range is extensive from primers through to two pack epoxy, polyurethane, chemical resistant and marine grade coatings.
We have a very experienced paint team headed up by our senior painter, Jamie, who has been with Advance Sprayers for over 25 years.
We can paint to specification, can offer warrantees on approved jobs & quality assurance reports and documentation, if required.
Our facilities include :
•
Large filtered spray booths
•
Conventional, airless and air assisted spray equipment
•
Clean air room – providing an air tight, dust-free environment for a perfect finish
•
Overhead conveyor line – for jobs in large multiples
•
We can accommodate all job sizes from small household items through to large jobs like communication towers and light poles
Sand Blasting
We have two on-site sand blasting rooms, which means we can coat our jobs within the Australian Standard of not more than 4 hours
between blasting and coating.
Sand blasting cleans the steel of any rust, scale or imperfections, giving a clean surface to coat and as well as a profile the paint and powder
can adhere to.
We can sand blast to specification to meet Australian standards and provide quality assurance documentation if required.
Our large room is 6000mm x 3800mm x 2500mm to handle most bigger jobs, but we also have a smaller room, perfect for efficiently
handling a multitude of smaller jobs.

SAND BLASTING
CHROMATING
Chromating
We have a six stage chromating process for the preparation of aluminium, cleaning the surface with acid and water, dipping in chromate and
washing in deionised water.
This gives the aluminium protection against corrosion, as well as providing adhesion for the powder coating.
To reach Dulux accreditation standard, we use a reverse osmosis water purification system to achieve iron levels of less than 30 parts per
million in our final rinse tank. This allows us to give warrantees on powder coated aluminium products.
We can accommodate jobs large and small with our 4500mm long x 2000mm high chromating tanks.

Powder Coating and Spray Painting
What is Powder Coating?
It looks like paint but it acts like armor, states the Powder Coating Institute (PCI) of this ubiquitous surfacing technique. Powder
coating is a highly durable, decorative and long lasting finish applied to products of nearly every sort for the consumer and industry
alike. It can come in virtually any color or finish, matte or smooth, is rust-free, scratch resistant and ecologically friendly.
Outdoor barbeques, swing sets, patio furniture and garden equipment are just a few examples of products that are powder coated.
Though it appears painted on, it’s actually a dry finishing process. Electrostatically charged particles of pulverized pigment and resin
are sprayed on to the surfaces of items that have been electrically grounded, thereby attracting the dry charged particles. Items are
then placed in a curing oven where the powder coating melts and fuses to the surface. Not only is the process virtually pollution free,
but there is also very little waste as the dry overspray can be recovered. Also, the industry does not have to invest in costly pollution-
control equipment, making powder coating extremely economical.
Resistant to chipping, and fading, colors of a powder coated item will remain true for many years. High gloss and low gloss finishes,
even metallic and clear finishes, make it an ideal choice for stadium chairs, railings and structural enforcements, tools, engine parts,
golf clubs, carts, ski poles, bindings, computer cases, farm equipment, exercise equipment, store racks, baby strollers and countless
other products.
Advance Sprayers can fulfil all of your powder coating needs.
PCI reports that powder coating is the fastest-growing finishing technology in North America, representing over 10% of all industrial
finishing applications. With everything it has going for it from its versatility to being economical and environmentally friendly, that is
a trend that is bound to continue.
What Is Spray Painting?
Spray painting is a technique of applying paint to a surface using a device that atomizes the paint into tiny droplets and propels them
onto the target surface. This method allows for a smooth and even coat of paint to be applied quickly and efficiently. The spray gun,
equipped with a nozzle and pressurized air, disperses the paint in a fine mist, resulting in a uniform finish without brush marks or
streaks.
The process of spray painting typically involves several steps, including preparing the surface by cleaning and priming it to ensure
proper adhesion of the paint. Once the surface is ready, the painter selects the appropriate type of paint, loads it into the spray gun's
reservoir, and adjusts the settings for desired spray pattern and pressure. With careful control of the spray gun's movements and
distance from the surface, the painter applies the paint evenly across the area, building up layers as needed to achieve the desired
opacity and finish.
While spray painting offers many advantages, such as speed and uniform coverage, it also requires skill and attention to detail to
achieve professional results. Proper ventilation and protective gear are essential to ensure safety, as inhaling paint fumes can be
harmful to health. With practice and experience, however, spray painting can be a highly effective and rewarding method for adding
color and finishing touches to various projects and surfaces.
What Is Sand Blasting?
Sandblasting is a process used to clean, etch, or shape a surface by propelling fine particles of abrasive material at high velocity. This
technique, also known as abrasive blasting, typically involves the use of compressed air to force abrasive media, such as sand, garnet,
or glass beads, through a blasting nozzle onto the target surface. The abrasive particles effectively remove rust, paint, scale, and other
surface contaminants, leaving behind a clean and prepared surface for further treatment or coating.
Sandblasting is utilized in various industries and applications, including automotive restoration, industrial cleaning, and surface
preparation for painting or coating. It is particularly effective for removing stubborn coatings, corrosion, and surface imperfections
from metal, concrete, and other durable materials. Additionally, sandblasting can be used to create decorative effects or texture
surfaces by adjusting the type and size of abrasive media and varying the blasting parameters.
What Is Chromating?
Chromating, also known as chemical conversion coating or chromate conversion coating, is a process used to treat metal surfaces,
primarily aluminum and its alloys, to improve corrosion resistance and adhesion of subsequent coatings. This process involves
applying a chemical solution containing chromate compounds to the metal surface, which reacts with the surface to form a thin film
of chromate conversion coating.
The chromating process typically begins with cleaning and degreasing the metal surface to remove any contaminants that could
interfere with the formation of the conversion coating. The metal is then immersed or sprayed with the chromate solution, which may
contain hexavalent chromium compounds (such as chromic acid) or trivalent chromium compounds (such as chromate or
phosphate-based solutions).
