Alocrom
Alocrom is the creation of a chromated conversion coating on aluminium prior to painting or powder coating. It provides a temporary protection and has electrically conductive properties. LBParkes offers Alocrom 1000 and Alocrom 1200.

Powder coating
Powder coating is an electrostatic process where powdered pigment is sprayed from a gun and is electrically attracted towards a component. Electrostatics ensures pigment is attracted to all exterior faces and no solvent is required. LBParkes' flexibility to apply any type of powder coating, in any colour and any thickness means finishes can range from high-gloss and metallic, to textured or clear.

Wet painting
Wet painting involves spraying a pigment suspended in a solvent onto a component which is rotated to give comple coverage. Almost any shape of object can be coated, including those with cavities, and on the latest LBParkes' paint line virtually any water-based or solvent-based paint system can be applied. Very high cosmetic appearances are possible, while precise control -- allows painting of everything from and zinc diecastings, to polypropylene, plastics and wood.
