How to Choose the Right Wire Shelving Finishing? 

The most 4 Popular Wire Shelving Finishes

1．Epoxy powder coating

2．Nickel Chrome Plated

3．Zinc Plated

4．Antimicrobial Epoxy powder Finish

Epoxy powder coating 

1.what is epoxy powder coating 

Epoxy powder coating is a thermoset polymer coating that is hard and also offers chemical resistance, flexibility, and high adhesion.

these coatings do not produce any hazardous vapours, neither for factory workers nor for users of the final articles. On top of this, the long-term protection they provide extends the life expectancy of infrastructures and articles alike, thus reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Suitable for dry and wet storage environments

Visual and economic appeal

Low cost 

Nickel Chrome

1.what is nickel chrome plated 

Chrome plated is a technique of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object. The product of chrome plating is called chrome. The chromed layer can be decorative, provide corrosion resistance, ease cleaning procedures, or increase surface hardness.

Zinc plated 

1. what is zinc plated 

Zinc plating is frequently used to protect metals like steel against corrosion. The process for zinc plating involves electroplating a thin coating of zinc metal onto the surface of another metal object. The zinc coating creates a physical barrier which works to prevent rust. Typically, buyers choose zinc because of its distinctive ability to fight corrosion.

Antimicrobial Epoxy Finish

Lastly, we have the antimicrobial epoxy finish. This finish uses the same technique as the baked epoxy mentioned above. However, it adds an extra antimicrobial barrier which inhibits or kills the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi or protozoans.

The antimicrobial powder-coat finish used to create that barrier typically lasts up to twenty years, making it ideal shelving for schools, medical facilities, and other industries where bacteria and infection are of concern. However, because the coating relies on an active ingredient, it will eventually require a new coating given enough time and depending on what it’s being used to store.

Mainly used in the food industry

Rustproof

Suitable for dry and wet storage environments
