Functional Coatings
Functional powder coatings from HMG deliver proven performance and trusted protection across demanding environments.
Engineered for durability, efficiency and regulatory compliance, our technologies include anticorrosive, chemical-resistant, infrared-reflective and low-smoke systems approved for construction, rail, marine and aerospace applications.
Performance & Efficiency
Coatings engineered to improve operational efficiency, productivity and sustainability — helping manufacturers reduce energy use and optimise performance.
High Reactivity
Optimised for lower bake schedules and faster throughput, high-reactivity systems cure efficiently at reduced temperatures — lowering energy use and improving productivity without compromising finish quality.
Post-formable
Flexible powder coatings that retain adhesion and integrity through bending, punching and forming operations. Ideal for manufacturers who need coated parts that can be shaped after curing without cracking or loss of protection.
Advanced Application Technology
Incorporating optimised particle geometry and flow modifiers, these systems ensure consistent coverage, reduced waste and improved first-time transfer efficiency across a wide range of substrates and production lines.
Surface Protection
Formulated to defend coated surfaces against corrosion, chemicals and contaminants — preserving both function and appearance over time.
Anticorrosive
Advanced barrier and sacrificial protection systems shield metal surfaces from moisture and salt exposure. Proven in service to prevent rust, reduce maintenance costs and extend asset lifespan.
Chemical Resistant
Exceptional resistance to solvents, acids and cleaning agents provides long-term protection against chemical attack — ensuring easy maintenance and extended service life in harsh industrial environments.
Anti-Graffiti Coatings
Formulated for easy cleaning and resilience, these coatings resist marking and staining from paints, inks and aerosols. Their chemical resistance allows repeated cleaning without surface degradation — preserving appearance and protection in public or high-contact spaces.
Temperature Resistant
Engineered to perform under sustained or cyclical heat exposure, maintaining adhesion, colour and gloss where conventional powders fail. Ideal for industrial, transport and defence applications.
Mechanical & Environmental Durability
Built to endure impact, abrasion and prolonged outdoor exposure — providing long-term reliability in even the harshest conditions.
Abrasion and Scratch Resistance
Enhanced with tough polymers and surface-hardening additives, these coatings resist wear, scuffing and handling damage — maintaining appearance and performance in high-traffic or high-use environments.
Nylon Reinforced
Reinforced with nylon or polyamide modifiers for greater toughness, abrasion resistance and impact strength — combining mechanical durability with a smooth, uniform finish.
Hyperdurable Coatings
Next-generation fluoropolymer and high-crosslink resins resist UV degradation and weathering. These ultra-stable coatings preserve colour, gloss and protection in extreme outdoor environments for years of dependable service.
Special Functionality - Optical
Advanced systems that deliver targeted optical performance for specialised environments.
Cool Colours
Formulated to reflect solar and infrared radiation, these coatings reduce heat build-up on exposed surfaces — improving thermal efficiency, extending service life, and enhancing comfort in temperature-sensitive environments.
Camouflage Colours
In defence applications, coatings must perform flawlessly under extreme conditions. HMG Powder Coatings supplies high-performance finishes certified to UK Defence Standards, ensuring reliability, consistency and compliance where it matters most.
We offer coatings to meet DEF STAN 80-122 for military hardware and DEF STAN 00-23 for infrared-reflective camouflage systems — protecting assets, reducing detectability and extending service life across vehicles, equipment and infrastructure.
Luminescent Coatings
Activated by light, our luminescent coatings store and emit energy to provide visibility in low-light conditions — improving safety and design versatility across signage, emergency systems and decorative applications.
Special Functionality - Electrical and Antimicrobial
Advanced systems that deliver targeted electrical, or antimicrobial performance for specialised environments.
Electrical Insulative
Provides reliable dielectric strength and surface resistance, preventing electrical leakage and short-circuiting — ensuring safety and stability for electronic assemblies and powered enclosures.
Electrical Conducting
Conductive systems that safely dissipate electrostatic charge and maintain grounding continuity. Ideal for ESD-sensitive equipment, aerospace components and electronic housings.
Antimicrobial
Infused with active antimicrobial agents to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi on treated surfaces — supporting hygiene in healthcare, food production and public-contact environments.
Application Integrity
Formulated to ensure smooth, defect-free finishes and safe film formation under the most challenging processing conditions.
Anti-Gassing
Developed for porous and reactive substrates such as cast aluminium, galvanised steel and die-cast zinc, these advanced formulations incorporate gas-permeable resin systems that release entrapped air and volatiles during cure.
The result is a smooth, pinhole-free finish that maintains film integrity and corrosion resistance — even on materials prone to outgassing. Ideal for architectural metals, automotive castings and structural components, where surface quality and coating adhesion are critical.
Low Smoke & Fume
Engineered for fire safety and low-emission performance, these specialist coatings minimise the release of smoke, toxic fumes and flaming particles under exposure to heat or flame.
Validated and approved to leading international standards:
- Construction: EN 13501-1 (A2-s1,d0)
- Rail: EN 45545 and London Underground approval
- Marine: MED certification (UK & EU) and US Coast Guard compliance
- Aerospace: our coatings are routinely specified to meet FAR/JAR flammability and smoke density requirements
These systems are trusted across building interiors, transport, marine and aerospace sectors — helping manufacturers achieve regulatory compliance and enhanced passenger safety while retaining the durability, appearance and process efficiency expected of HMG powder coatings.
