Polyester
Most often selected for outdoor applications where resistance to UV radiation and changing weather conditions is important.
Outdoor applicationsRALEX powder coatings
A coating tailored to your production
We supply powder coatings for industry, professional coating shops and manufacturing companies. We help select not only the colour, but also the technology, texture and coating parameters for a specific application.

More than a colour from the RAL palette
The right coating starts with understanding the application
A powder coating must protect the surface, maintain its appearance and perform under the conditions in which the finished component will be used. That is why choosing the colour alone is not enough.
Key factors include the substrate type, surface preparation, UV exposure, moisture, chemicals, abrasion and temperature. JM GLOBAL supports customers in selecting solutions that meet real production requirements.

Types of powder coatings
The right chemistry for the right application
Each coating family has different strengths. Selection depends on where the product will be used, the required resistance and the desired finish.
Epoxy
Designed mainly for indoor use. They perform well where coating hardness and mechanical and chemical resistance are important.
Demanding indoor applicationsEpoxy-polyester
Versatile hybrid systems for metal furniture, interior equipment and functional components requiring an attractive finish.
Series productionSpecialist
Coatings with a defined function, resistance or visual effect, developed for non-standard technical requirements.

How we work
From requirement to final recommendation
We organise coating selection into four simple steps, so the decision is based on parameters rather than guesswork.
01
Understanding the application
We determine what will be coated, where the component will operate and what loads the coating must withstand.
02
Technology selection
We recommend the right coating type, curing parameters and substrate preparation requirements.
03
Defining the appearance
We select the colour, gloss level, texture and effect so that the technology supports the product design.
04
Solution verification
If needed, we refine the requirements, sample or specification before implementation in production.
Colour and finish
Appearance with technical significance
Colour is only the beginning. Gloss level, texture and special effects influence product perception, the visibility of signs of use and finish repeatability.
Matt
Semi-matt
Gloss
Fine texture
Coarse texture
Metallics
Special effects
Custom colour matching
We help combine the desired appearance with the required durability so that the finished coating is consistent with the design and operating conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Powder coatings explained clearly
Key answers to consider before selecting a coating type and discussing a specific application.
What are powder coatings used for?
They are used to protect and decoratively finish metal components, including steel and aluminium. They are widely used in industry, architecture and the production of furniture, machinery, fences, enclosures and functional components.
How do you select the right powder coating?
You need to consider the substrate, place of use, environmental conditions, required resistance, visual effect and the parameters of the application and curing process.
Are powder coatings suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, provided the right system is used. For outdoor exposure, coatings with good resistance to UV radiation and weather conditions are most commonly selected.
What is the difference between polyester and epoxy powder coatings?
Polyester coatings are usually selected for outdoor use because of their weather and UV resistance. Epoxy coatings are used mainly indoors where chemical and mechanical resistance are important.
Can a coating be prepared to a specific specification?
Such projects are assessed individually. It is useful to provide information about the substrate, application, colour, required resistance, finish and process parameters.
