HOW IT WORKS ?

Pre-treatment: The first step in the development of woodentials involves cleaning the base metal of oils, dirt and other impurities deposited on the metal. A non-acidic and environmentally sustainable pre-treatment chemical coating is then applied, that further protects the base, increases the life of the metal and improves powder adherence. Base-coat: In this phase paint in the form of a high quality powder is transferred onto our pre-treated durable metal base electrostatically and then cured. The durable powder that further enhances the quality of the base metal, also allows you to have a wide variety of products in matte or gloss finishes. Top-coat: It is during this stage that we apply our unique wood texture to our product. This is where woodentials acquires its proprietary wood feel and becomes woodentials!
