Some substrates, particularly non-ferrous, require an intermediate process between cleaning and priming for painting.
Trans-Acc regularly incorporates Metal Pretreatment Services for the majority of ferrous and all non-ferrous surfaces.
Trans-Acc will pre-treat depending on specification or application, as required. Pretreatment enhances corrosion resistance of these surfaces, as well as the adhesion of the coating material. To ensure the quality of our pretreated substrates, we perform a range of testing operations, including water break testing, accelerated corrosion resistance testing, salt spray testing, and dry adhesion testing.
Trans-Acc offers Metal Pretreatment Services to customers requesting one of our coating services, or as a stand-alone service.

Why Choose Powder Coating? Key Benefits Explained
As explained by Fine Metalworking in their article “Benefits of Powder Coating”, this finishing method offers significant advantages compared to traditional liquid paints. Powder coatings create tough, uniform surfaces that resist chipping, scratching, and fading, while also being more environmentally friendly with little to no VOC emissions. Other benefits include cost efficiency, wide color and… [Read More]
What Is Powder Coating? 7 Things to Know
As detailed in Architectural Digest’s article “What Is Powder Coating? 7 Things to Know”, powder coating is a dry finishing process that electrostatically applies powder to metal and then cures it under heat or UV light. Unlike spray paint, it creates a thicker, more durable coating that resists chips and scratches, making it especially valuable… [Read More]
Expanding Powder Coating Beyond Metals
As outlined by Products Finishing (PF Online) in their article “Powder Coating Non-Conductive Substrates”, powder coating technology has advanced beyond metal surfaces. Through specialized pre-treatments and conductive primers, even non-conductive substrates such as MDF (medium-density fiberboard), plastics, and composites can now be coated effectively. This expansion opens up new markets in furniture, automotive, and consumer… [Read More]
Fundamentals of Powder and Liquid Coating Explained
As explained by Market Prospects in their article “What Are the Fundamentals and Benefits of Choosing between Liquid and Powder Coating?”, both finishing methods offer unique advantages for industrial applications. Liquid coatings provide cost-effectiveness, broad color variety, and easy application, while powder coatings deliver environmental benefits with zero or near-zero VOC emissions, recyclable overspray, and… [Read More]
