This blue panel is a visual reference for the finish quality achievable when parts are correctly cleaned before powder coating. Effective prep typically includes:
• Removal of oils/soil (alkaline or solvent degrease)
• Rinse to eliminate residues
• Surface conversion (iron/zirconium/phosphate) for adhesion and corrosion resistance
• Final DI rinse and thorough dry/outgas
With clean substrate and controlled film build, coatings cure to an even matte texture with reliable adhesion and reduced defects (fisheyes, craters, bubbles). The minimalist panel—bearing only the embossed BLUETEE logo—keeps focus on color accuracy, surface uniformity, and the benefits of proper pretreatment for industrial and architectural metal parts.
