Poli-5000 Finish

Poli-5000 is a completely in-house process, performed and overseen by Porter Corp.

Steps include:

  • Eight-direction shot blasting of steel to near white condition
  • Wash and iron phosphate treatment
  • Special epoxy primer powder coat base
  • Super Durable TGIC powder top coat
  • Baking and curing
  • Inspection and packaging

Why Poli-5000?

  • Superior performance results over traditional powder coat
  • Reduced overall cost and a better finish than field painting over factory applied red oxide primers
  • No VOC’s with Poli-5000 
  • More environmentally friendly than liquid paint, ecoat primer, and zinc rich primer  systems
  • Reliable in-house inspection of all parts
  • Upgrade from ‘standard’ to Super Durable TGIC provides superior color and gloss retention as well as corrosion resistance
  • No need for clear top coats (that make touch-up blotchy) when using Super Durable TGIC
  • Large offering of 30 standard smooth colors and 9 textured colors

Poli-5000 Powder Coat

The most durable powder coat finish system in the industry. Steel is shot blasted to a near white condition, given a phosphate wash, coated with an epoxy primer, and then followed with a coat of polyester TGIC powder formulated for maximum UV protection, adhesion, and fade resistance. The Poligon Poli-5000 process is a completely in-house system and is available in a wide range of smooth, textured, and metallic colors.

Galvanized

A basic, long-accepted method of protecting steel from corrosion, galvanizing is the process of coating steel with zinc using a hot bath process. Galvanizing is considered the best corrosion protection process available for steel components and is commonly used where exposure to salt air is anticipated. The galvanizing process results in a random, spangled finish that can also have alternating areas of haze and sheen.

Powder Coat Over Galvanized

The combination of hot dip galvanizing with TGIC powder coating combines the ultimate corrosion protection with the color selection of super-durable powder coating. This long-sought combination has been difficult to successfully achieve but a new proprietary process is now making this finish combination available. Due to the galvanizing process, there will be noticeable texture areas in the final powder coat finish.

Poligon powder coats all exposed washers, nuts, and bolts on every shelter.
