Manual Powder Coating
TOUGH BEAUTY
Powder Coating
Powder coating, once oven cured, becomes a solid and tough coating that adheres to the
surface of a properly pre-treated substrate. Powder coatings can be made in a multitude of
colours, with various lustres, textures and special effects. The great range of colour options
make powder coating a versatile and popular choice.
Metrix Group uses chromate-free and phosphate-free pre-treatment preparation; a more environmentally friendly option. Accredited powder coaters apply and maintain non chrome conversion coatings in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions to meet AS3715 and AAMA-2604.
Metrix Group will only use accredited applicators that offer official powder coat warranty certificates on completion of work. Warranty is calculated at completion of the project based on product, supplier, environment and substrate.
Features & Benefits
- Low cost.
- Large colour range.
- Can be applied to a range of different substrates.
- Custom colours are available made to order.

CLASSIC OXIDE™
Classic Oxide is a new powder coat colour that has been created as an alternative to the popular weathering steel, best known under the trademark of Corten®.
Features & Benefits
- Finish has a consistent tone and texture.
- Can be applied to a range of different substrates.
- Don’t need to wait 2-3 months for the panels to oxidise.
- Doesn’t stain the surrounding area with oxidisation run-off.
- Doesn’t need a sealer coating when being used in an internal application.
- When applied to aluminium, it offers a lightweight alternative, resulting in reduced structural requirements for the cladding substructure, lowering the building cost.

Anodised Aluminium Sheet
Aluminium Anodising
Anodising is an electrochemical process that thickens and toughens the naturally occurring protective oxide in aluminium. Aluminium anodised finishes result in the controlled formation of a much harder, more durable and about a thousand times thicker than the thin oxide layer naturally formed. It has excellent tolerance in coastal environments and is available in a range of different colours.
Features & Benefits
- Excellent tolerance in coastal environments
- UV Stabilised
- Environmentally friendly
- Clamp marks.
- Increased cost of application.
- Naturally occurring colour variation.
