Metallic powder coatings are made from a high-quality epoxy polyester/pure polyester resin system, bonded with high-purity metallic pigments (aluminum silver powder , pearlescent powder, etc.) .
YATU manufactures metallic effect powder coating for metal products that require a decorative metallic appearance and protective surface performance. The product range includes gold, silver, bronze, champagne gold, rose gold, gunmetal, and other custom metallic finishes for architectural components, metal furniture, hardware, industrial equipment, and decorative metal products.
YATU's metallic powder coating range uses bonded metallic pigment formulations and offers epoxy-polyester systems for indoor applications and pure polyester systems for outdoor applications. Buyers can select the required metallic color, gloss level, resin system, and film thickness according to the substrate, production process, and finished product requirements.
For manufacturers, coating factories, OEM suppliers, and distributors, YATU provides standard metallic colors, custom color matching based on RAL, Pantone, GB references or physical samples, and technical documentation according to the selected formulation. Sample approval before bulk production helps establish the target appearance and coating
YATU offers metallic effect powder coating in a range of decorative colors. The final appearance depends on the metallic pigment formulation, base resin system, gloss level, coating thickness, application conditions, and viewing angle.

Metallic effect powder coating is a dry coating material that creates a metallic appearance after electrostatic application and curing. Its visual effect comes from metallic or pearlescent pigments incorporated into the coating formulation.
YATU offers metallic powder coating in gold, silver, bronze, champagne gold, rose gold, gunmetal, and custom metallic shades.
YATU lists gold, silver, bronze, champagne gold, rose gold, gunmetal, and other metallic color options.
Custom metallic colors can be evaluated using RAL, Pantone, GB references, or customer-provided samples. Final appearance should be confirmed using a physical coated sample.
YATU uses epoxy-polyester formulations for indoor applications and pure polyester formulations for outdoor applications.
The appropriate choice depends on exposure conditions, substrate preparation, corrosion requirements, and weathering performance. Buyers should confirm the selected formulation against the intended application.
YATU's published metallic powder coating range includes high gloss at 80–90 GU, medium gloss at 40–60 GU, and satin/matte finishes at 15–30 GU, measured at 60°.
Availability and the final gloss level should be confirmed for the selected color and formulation.
Yes. YATU supports custom metallic color matching based on RAL, Pantone, GB references, or customer-provided samples.
Because metallic finishes reflect light differently from solid colors, buyers should approve a physical coated sample under representative lighting conditions before bulk production.
YATU specifies a standard dry film thickness of 70–110 μm and curing conditions of 200–220°C for 15–20 minutes at workpiece temperature.
The actual coating thickness and curing profile should be confirmed against the selected product's technical data sheet and production equipment.
YATU's published general MOQ for regular colors is 100 kg. Smaller trial quantities may be available for in-stock colors.
Custom metallic colors, special formulations, and other requirements should be confirmed separately before ordering.
Yes. YATU's published policy provides 100–200 g standard-color samples. Custom colors or special-function samples may require a sampling fee.
Buyers can also request relevant TDS, SDS/MSDS, and product quality documentation according to the selected formulation and order requirements.
Maintain consistent powder formulation, film thickness, grounding, spraying parameters, and curing conditions. Compare finished samples under consistent lighting and viewing angles.
For repeat orders, approve a representative sample and document the production settings used to achieve the required metallic appearance.
Building materials: High-end aluminum profiles, doors and windows, curtain walls, metal railings, steel structures, and decorative hardware to enhance the overall high-end feel of buildings.
80–90 GU gloss, mirror-like metallic texture, bright and transparent, full of luster, strong reflectivity, suitable for high-end home appliances, car parts, and decorative hardware, highlighting a luxurious texture.
Gloss level 40–60 GU, with a soft and delicate metallic luster that is not dazzling. It combines texture and practicality, with no obvious reflection. It is suitable for doors, windows, furniture, and industrial equipment, and has strong versatility.
Gloss 15–30 GU, understated and sophisticated metallic matte texture, anti-glare, delicate touch, suitable for outdoor architecture, high-end furniture, precision instruments, simple and elegant, and easy to clean and maintain.
Pretreatment (degreasing, rust removal, phosphating)
Electrostatic spraying (uniform spraying of metal powder, controlling the distribution of metal pigments)
High-temperature curing ( 200-220 ℃ , 15-20 minutes )
Cooling and polishing (optional, to improve gloss uniformity). By controlling parameters such as spraying voltage, air pressure, atomization, fluidization, and powder output, the desired spraying effect can be achieved.
Yatu metallic powder coatings incorporate high-purity metallic pigments (such as aluminum powder and copper-gold powder). Leveraging an advanced bonding process, they deliver a dual advantage of "premium metallic texture" and "robust protection." Ideal for high-end decorative applications, they impart a luxurious, sophisticated visual effect to metal substrates, thereby enhancing product value.
Metallic pigments are tightly integrated with the base powder, ensuring uniform color without clumping. Capable of simulating various metallic hues—such as gold, silver, bronze, and champagne gold—the finish offers a refined, multi-layered luster and strong dimensionality. Unlike the monotonous texture of standard solid-color coatings, this finish highlights a premium product identity and meets high-end decorative requirements.
Zero VOCs, no heavy metal residues, and no solvent emissions. Overspray powder is recyclable (fully recyclable thanks to the bonding production method), meeting EU RoHS and REACH directives as well as international environmental standards. It serves as a sustainable alternative to processes like anodizing or chrome plating, making it suitable for eco-conscious, high-end coating applications.
Formulated with select high-durability metallic pigments and UV-resistant resins. It withstands outdoor aging for ≥1,200 hours and maintains high gloss retention in xenon-arc aging tests. Resistant to fading and chalking under prolonged sun and rain exposure, it preserves its metallic luster over time. With salt spray resistance reaching up to 800–1,200 hours, it effectively withstands harsh outdoor environments.
