From durability and color quality, to efficiency and safety: When it comes to choosing sustainable coating options, nothing comes close to the benefits powder coating offers.
With virtually zero emissions, no solvents and no hazardous bi-products, powder coating is the only 100% green option, meaning it is completely safe for the environment.
Standing up to heat, corrosion, inclement weather, and abrasion, powder coating is not only more cost-effective initially–it actually saves you money over time by avoiding the frequent maintenance traditional paint requires.
As a member of the US Green Building Council’s New York chapter, Trojan Powder Coating takes these issues seriously and is proud to offer a premium alternative to traditional liquid painting. Trojan is also a certified applicator of Superior Performing Organic Coatings on aluminum extrusions and panels and is listed as such on the AAMA Certification Program Verified Component List.
Limited Warranties are available with some powders and applications upon request.
