Painting and Powder Coating Gaffney SC | Industrial Finishing | Farris Group
Gaffney supports industrial equipment, building products, and logistics infrastructure. We provide industrial painting and powder coating in Gaffney, SC for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum components, from small brackets to large weldments and enclosure panels. Our finishing runs inside an ISO 9001:2015 certified system. Travelers, lot tags, and controlled work instructions define pretreatment chemistry, application parameters, cure windows, and inspection checkpoints.
The Coating Line that Protects Your Parts
Performance starts with preparation. We clean with alkaline solutions, rinse, and apply iron phosphate for steel or zirconium conversion coatings when specifications demand enhanced corrosion resistance. Media blasting builds an anchor profile when mill scale or weld cleanup is present. Masking is planned early using silicone caps, plugs, and high-temperature tapes to protect threads, bores, sealing faces, and grounding points.
Powder is applied using electrostatic guns tuned for kV, flow, and air balance. Operators manage distance, angle, and wrap to reduce Faraday shadowing. Typical DFT for exterior TGIC polyester targets 2.0–4.0 mils. Superdurable polyester improves UV hold in high-sun environments, and epoxy powders support chemical resistance indoors. When a liquid system is specified, we spray epoxy primers and 2K urethane topcoats to meet gloss, hardness, and weathering expectations.
Cure validation uses metal temperature probes and data logging to verify time at temperature. Oven mapping confirms zone uniformity. Post-cure checks include DFT measurements, crosshatch adhesion (ASTM D3359), impact resistance (ASTM D2794), and gloss readings per ASTM D523. Color panels and drawdowns are available for approval.
Handling and packaging protect cosmetic faces. Hanging plans minimize touch points and ensure full coverage on critical features. After cure, parts cool on soft racks, then move to inspection and kitted packaging by subsystem or phase with edge guards and foam interleaves.
