Ideal offers two state of the art 900 ft. circumference coating lines with an impressive 30” x 108” opening.
Powder coatings are solvent-free and comprise various synthetic-resin systems, pigments, and special additives. They are perfectly suited for high-quality coating of metallic substrates used in the construction industry. Since the early 1960s, powder coating technology has developed into an excellent alternative to liquid coatings. Their economic and ecological advantages in particular represent the future of paint technology. The raw materials used in powder coatings are processed in three steps: pre-mixing, extruding, and grinding, resulting in a fine powder. Depending on the specific application, the powder is then processed into a certain range of particle sizes. In contrast to liquid coatings, powder coatings do not contain solvents. Powder coatings are applied with either a corona (electro static) or a tribo (air static) process, and then liquefied and chemically cross linked at substrate temperatures of between 320°F and 400°F. The resulting coating has “thermo setting” qualities (meaning that heat is not able to soften it as would be the case with “thermo plastics”). The resulting powder coating finishes can stand up to the most extreme conditions and are suitable for a wide range of functions and decorative purposes.
Ideal Coating is certified to powder coat aluminum products for the Department of Transportation. Government agencies are using powder coating as a way of extending the life of many items they use and protecting the environment in the process. Ideal also has the capability and certifications to manufacture guardrail and handrail.
Ideal coating offers a full spectrum of colors that are weather resistant for any of your exterior or interior projects. We are not limited to colors either as we offer an immense selection of textures, metallic’s, and anti-graffiti coatings.
Tiger Drylac provides warranties in compliance with AAMA regulations on all of their coated material. Warranty periods vary demanding on the type of powder chosen for the project. Series 38 powders will be covered up to 5 years, Series 58 up to 25, and Series 75 will be covered up to 30 years. Far surpassing any of the competition.
Since the company was founded in the early 1930s, TIGER’s growth has been consistent and constant. Still privately owned, TIGER is one of the leading manufacturers of coating systems which are marketed worldwide under the name TIGER Drylac®. A momentous step into the future. At the beginning, liquid coatings were the company’s only product line. Later, in 1968, TIGER was one of the first companies in Europe to enter into the field of powder coating. Development and production of a wide range of powder coatings soon became the centerpiece of its product line. Today, over 1200 standard colors and a wide variety of metallic and special effect finishes are available.
Ideal Coating is moving towards a greener earth with an environmentally friendly powder coating process for solar panels frames and components. With rising fuel costs, climate change concerns and a growing demand for electricity, renewable energy resources such as solar power are becoming an increasingly valuable part of the world's energy mix. Around the globe, businesses and homeowners are harnessing the power of the earth's most abundant natural resource - sunlight - to provide energy using solar power.
