What is plate vise coated with?
Anti-corrosion powder coating | ||
Powder coating is a process in which a metal tool or other object is coated with a plastic-based powder and heated until the powder coating becomes liquid, bonding it to the metal. | ||
This coating method is an alternative to traditional liquid coating and is more environmentally friendly, easier to install and can be applied in thicker layers for improved wear resistance. | ||
The powder coating applied to the plate vise is rated for durability but is not completely rust resistant - proper care and storage is still required to prevent rust. | ||
However, by providing a surface barrier, it provides a degree of protection, which can be valuable if you will be using your plate vise outdoors. | ||
The powder coating used on plate vises is usually bright yellow - this improves visibility in dark areas and prevents the risk of vise loss between jobs. | ||
