Powder Coating in Furniture Manufacturing: A Case Study with Yadan Steel Furniture

If you follow us often, you will know that we are constantly mentioning that at Yadan Steel Furniture, we stick our core values on environmental protection and sustainability. So on what grounds do we have the audacity to assert that our products are environmentally friendly and healthy? The answer lies in the processing procedures. One of our key processes is the electrostatic powder spraying for coating. Today we will talk to you about this process.

What is powder coating?

Powder coating is a type of surface treating technique that involves the application of a dry, solvent free finely ground powder to a surface, which is then heated to fuse the powder particles together and form a smooth, durable finish.

The powder is made by mixing special resin, pigments and fillers, curing agent and other additives in a certain proportion, and then going through hot extrusion and powder sieving. After being stored and stabilized at room temperature, it is sprayed electrostatically or dipped in a fluidized bed, then heated and baked to melt and solidify to form a smooth and bright permanent coating film, which can achieve decoration and anti-corrosion purposes.

How we do powder coating at Yadan Steel Furniture

This illustration in motion says clearly about the powder coating process when we process steel furniture at Yadan. We can see that in our workshop, we have an interlocking, strictly executed production line divided into many steps. After shearing, extruding and deforming the steel plate on the shape, we started to work on its surface.

We put steel panels in this long tank (at around 0:35) to remove impurities that may interfere with the coating's adhesion to the surface, and then add silane coupling agents to make the coating more tightly bonded. Various washing and rinsing cycles are applied throughout the process to remove remaining cleaning agents or other residues.

When all the conditions are set, we can do the powder coating process. Steel panels are suspended on an overhead conveyor line (at around 0:22), and an electrostatic spraying machine is used to spray a dry powder material on the surface of the panels. By electrostatic interaction, the powder will be evenly adsorbed on the surface to form a powdery layer. This powdery layer is then baked, leveled and cured at high temperature, and becomes the final coating with a range of good properties.

The difference between powder spraying and traditional painting

Advantages of powder coating:

1. Powder coating does not contain solvents or volatile toxic substances, which is beneficial to the occupational health of workers at the production process, and also harmless to the environment and human body as a finished product.

2. The material utilization rate is high, with the excessive powder sprayed subject to recycling. The overall utilization rate during powder coating process is over 95%.

3. It also has excellent anti-corrosion properties, as this technique will form a hard, protective layer highly resistant to moisture, chemicals, and other environmental factors that can cause corrosion over time.

4. The powder coating process also has aesthetic advantages. It allows for a thicker, fuller coating layer and more even application of color. It also has a wide range of colors and textures of finishes for choice, with a variety of vibrant and lively colors, and glossy, matte or metallic styled surface qualities.

Traditional painting:

It entails the use of a large amount of organic solvent-based paint, which will cause pollution and public hazards due to volatilization. It also has a strong odor, and is prone to causing poisoning incidents and fires.

Conclusions from the comparison:

Therefore, compared with traditional solvent-based coatings, powder coating has the advantages of safer, less pollution, good adaptability, high efficiency and no dependence on petroleum as raw material.

This video provides an illustrative explanation:

Attached: the formaldehyde-free test report for Yadan Steel Furniture’s products

It shows that at normal temperature, in a detection space of 5 cubic meters with an air exchange rate of 1.2 times per hour, formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds such as xylene, toluene, and benzene cannot be detected at a measurement level of milligrams per square meter.

This is a test we invited professional organization SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd to do. The body is a joint venture between Swiss SGS SA (Société Générale de Surveillance) and Chinese state-owned China Standard Technology Development Corp, both very authoritative organizations in inspection, verification, testing, and certification services.

Snag My Galway Home: Can You Take Legal Action Over Poor Workmanship?

Buying or building a new home in Galway should be an exciting milestone. However, what happens when the dream turns into a nightmare because of poor workmanship? Uneven floors, leaking roofs, faulty wiring—these issues can make your new home feel like anything but a safe haven. If you’ve discovered significant defects, you might be wondering whether legal action is an option. But before you take that route, it’s essential to understand your rights and how professional snagging services can help you take the right next steps.

Understanding Poor Workmanship in New Homes

Poor workmanship in a newly built home can range from minor cosmetic flaws to major structural problems that compromise safety. Some of the most common defects homeowners in Galway encounter include:

Cracks in walls and ceilings due to improper plastering or settlement issues.

Faulty plumbing leading to leaks, damp, or mould growth.

Electrical problems, such as poorly installed sockets or inadequate wiring.

Doors and windows that don’t close properly, causing draughts and security risks.

Poorly finished driveways or garden drainage issues leading to flooding.

These defects can reduce your home’s value and create additional repair costs. Identifying issues early is crucial so that you can address them before they escalate.

Your Legal Rights as a Homeowner in Galway

Irish law provides protections for homeowners dealing with construction defects. Here are some key legal frameworks that may support your case:

Building Control Regulations – Builders are legally required to meet specific construction standards. Non-compliance can be grounds for legal action.

The National House Building Guarantee Scheme – If your builder is registered under this scheme, you may be entitled to assistance in fixing major structural defects.

Consumer Protection Legislation – Under Irish consumer law, builders must provide services that are of merchantable quality. If they fail to do so, you may have a case for compensation or repairs.

Your Contract with the Builder – Many contracts include defect liability periods where the builder is obligated to fix any problems. Understanding the terms of your contract can help you determine your legal standing.

Snag My Galway Home: Steps to Take Before Pursuing Legal Action

Before you consider legal proceedings, there are several steps you should take to resolve the issue efficiently:

1. Document the Issues

Keep detailed records of all defects, including photos, videos, and written descriptions. Also, save any communication with the builder regarding the issues.

2. Hire a Professional Snagging Service

A professional snagging inspection provides a thorough, unbiased assessment of your home’s condition. A snagging report will document every defect, from minor cosmetic flaws to major structural concerns, giving you strong evidence to support your claim. If you’re dealing with construction defects, using a snagging service is the best way to ensure you have all the necessary proof when addressing issues with your builder. Essentially, snagging is your first step in resolving problems with poor workmanship.

3. Contact the Builder

Builders are usually given an opportunity to fix the defects within a reasonable timeframe. Send them the snagging report and formally request that the issues be resolved.

4. Review Your Warranty and Contracts

Check if your home is covered by a structural warranty, which typically lasts 10 years and may require the builder to fix certain defects.

When Legal Action Becomes Necessary

If the builder refuses to address the defects or carries out substandard repairs, you may need to escalate the situation. Here’s what you should consider:

Mediation or Arbitration – Some contracts require disputes to go through alternative dispute resolution before taking legal action.

Consult a Solicitor Specialising in Construction Disputes – A legal expert can advise you on the best course of action and assess whether you have a strong case.

Legal Proceedings – If mediation fails, you may have to take the matter to court. This can be costly and time-consuming, so it should be a last resort.

Snag My Galway Home: How Professional Snagging Services Strengthen Your Case

A snagging report is more than just a list of defects—it’s an expert-backed document that provides undeniable proof of poor workmanship. Here’s how it helps:

Credibility – Courts and solicitors rely on documented evidence. A professional report carries more weight than personal observations.

Clear Fault Identification – The report categorises defects and often refers to building regulations, strengthening your argument.

Supports Negotiations – Many builders take snagging reports seriously and are more likely to agree to repairs when faced with clear documentation.

If you suspect your home has been poorly built, investing in a snagging inspection can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress. It can be the key factor in successfully addressing defects with your builder without needing to pursue legal action.

Alternative Solutions to Legal Action

Legal proceedings can be lengthy and expensive. Before going to court, consider these alternatives:

Engage with Regulatory Bodies – Organisations such as the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) may assist in resolving disputes with builders.

Use Dispute Resolution Services – The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) and the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) offer mediation services for construction-related disputes.

Negotiate Repairs or Compensation – If the builder is willing to negotiate, you may be able to agree on a timeline for repairs or financial compensation without legal action.

Poor workmanship can turn your dream home into a stressful burden, but you don’t have to face it alone. Understanding your legal rights and taking strategic steps—such as hiring a professional snagging service—can make all the difference. Before considering legal action, get a snagging report to document the defects and give your builder a chance to rectify them. If they refuse, you’ll have solid evidence to strengthen your case.

Don’t let construction defects take away the joy of your new home. Whether you’re dealing with minor cosmetic issues or major structural concerns, snagging your Galway home is the best way to ensure you’re not left dealing with costly repairs down the line.

Quality: How old is your SIM card?

We appreciate the concept of planned obsolescence. It makes sense for faster iterations in consumer products (*fail fast, fail often). When Lenovo, famed for its rugged bulletproof design, now produces laptops made of a type of floppy plastic too weak for a grumpy teenager to throw, you have to consider “Brand.” Brand is a definite “consistent quality”…meaning a feature of the thing (in the mind of your predominantly business class customers).
