Scratch-Resistant Powder Coating for Metal Cabinets and Lockers

Metal cabinets and lockers require an even decorative finish together with adhesion and durability for doors, panels, frames, shelves and frequently handled edges. LEKA develops customized powder coatings for office cabinets, storage cabinets, lockers, tool cabinets and related sheet-metal products.

Application Challenges

  • Thin sheet-metal parts and folded edges need controlled film build and curing.
  • Doors and drawers are frequently touched, cleaned and moved, making appearance consistency important.
  • Indoor, humid and outdoor cabinet locations require different coating systems.

Recommended Coating Selection

  • Epoxy-polyester powder is commonly considered for general indoor cabinets and lockers.
  • Pure epoxy may be evaluated for specific indoor corrosion-resistance needs where UV exposure is not expected.
  • Outdoor cabinets require an outdoor-grade weathering polyester system.
  • Degreasing, rust removal or conversion treatment should be matched to steel, galvanized steel or aluminum.

Custom Color, Gloss and Texture

Colors, gloss levels and textures can be developed for office, industrial or architectural design requirements. Smooth, matte and fine-texture effects should be confirmed on the actual substrate or an agreed test panel before production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can LEKA match a cabinet sample or RAL color?

Yes. Provide a physical sample or RAL code together with the target gloss, texture and substrate.

What determines scratch and corrosion performance?

The complete system matters: resin selection, substrate preparation, film thickness, curing and the real service environment must all be considered.
