Protective Coating For The Retail Sector

Why the Retail sector needs protective coatings?

In the fast-paced retail environment, the durability and appearance of fittings are critical. Shelving, racks, and fixtures must endure constant interaction with products, customers, and equipment, all while maintaining a flawless aesthetic. Powder coating for retail is the ideal solution, providing a robust, visually appealing, and long-lasting protective layer.

At Northpoint, our extensive pre-treatment and sustainable coating process is designed to safeguard fittings against damage, rust, and wear at an early stage. This ensures that your retail fixtures remain functional and attractive for years to come, even under heavy use. We also understand the importance of presentation in retail spaces – our process eliminates defects, ensuring a high-quality finish that enhances the overall shopping experience.

We also offer tailored packing solutions to maintain the integrity of your products post-coating. From minimal protection to robust packaging, we ensure your items arrive in pristine condition, ready for immediate use.

1. Surface Preparation

We begin by thoroughly cleaning each item to remove dust, grease, and contaminants that could hinder the coating’s adherence. We also do a pre-treatment to eliminate imperfections and create a surface that promotes strong adhesion.

2. Masking and Inspection:

Areas requiring protection from the coating are carefully masked to ensure clean lines and sharp edges. Every item undergoes a detailed review to confirm it is prepared to perfection before proceeding to the coating phase.

3. Powder Application

Once the surface is prepared, we apply an even layer of powder. Our technology ensures uniform coverage, even on intricate designs like shelving units or decorative display pieces. Retail is all about branding and style, so we offer a wide variety of finishes, textures, and colours to align with your brand image and store design.

4. Curing

Items are placed in a high-temperature curing oven where the powder is heated and fused into a durable, protective layer. This process not only solidifies the coating but also enhances its resistance to scratches, chips, and general wear.

5. Quality Assurance

Every item is inspected for consistent coverage, proper finish, and quality.
