Duplex coatings and powder coatings at Joseph Ash Medway

Powder coating and Duplex coating services are provided by the company’s Joseph Ash Medway plant.

Duplex coatings are a synergy of galvanizing and powder coating, suitable for all types of steel fabrication, including gates, railings, staircases, lighting, flooring and even sculptures.

The coatings provide extended durability for steel and are available in a choice of colour and texture.

Figure 1.0 – Duplex coatings process

Figure 1.0 describes the duplex coating process. The duplex synergistic effect creates an underlying base steel which is afforded corrosion protection for between approximately 1.5 to 2.3 times the sum of the expected life of each individual corrosion system alone. For example, if a galvanized coating alone on black steel provides 50 years of maintenance-free protection, and powder coated surfaces do not require any maintenance for 10 years, the duplex system combination would provide maintenance-free protection for 90 to 138 years in the same environment.

Duplex coatings are:

• Aesthetically pleasing
• Environmentally friendly
• Sustainable
• Economical and cost efficient
• They come in a range of colours and textures.

The Joseph Ash Medway plant also offers up to 40-year guarantee on duplex coatings (subject to T&Cs), and a wide variety of durable powder coating finishes from metallic to textured, in a huge range of bright colours with varying matt, satin and gloss levels.
