Metallics
Metallic looks have become a staple favorite in the design world. It’s easy to add a metallic sparkle to your project - we can add metallic flake to any color to ensure the coating is exactly what you need for your project. Need inspiration? We have an existing metallic collection, or look at the RAL shades and we can add a sparkle shimmer to any of those.
Textures
Sometimes super smooth just won’t do. There are a range of textures available to add a tactile dimension and an interesting look to your coating,
Veins, hammertones and multi component powders
Adding a silver vein to your powder coating allows it to catch the light in a unique way and can give it an almost ceramic appearance. Hammertones offer that multi-component effect that has been increasingly popular over the last few years. Ask us for sample chips to see exactly what is possible.

Weatherability, holding its color, gloss or effect for a few years and resistance to humidity and salt all become important when furniture is situated outside. Choose a cost effective, attractive IFS powder coating that will protect against all of the above.

Adding functionality to your coating
IFS coatings will always protect and decorate your design, but sometimes the end use requires something extra. Add functionality to your coating with these special features which can be added to any powder.
Anti-microbial
At IFS we use an anti-microbial additive to provide anti-microbial properties to the powder coating. There are different types of anti-microbial additives including silver, copper and zinc, but the IFS anti-microbial additive uses silver technology. It can be added to most IFS formulations and the good news is IFS anti-microbial treated powder coatings retain the anti-microbial properties over time. The silver technology used in IFS anti-microbial treated powder coatings is put through strict, premium testing and achieves excellent test results. Schools, nurseries, hospitals and labs are just some of the facilities to benefit from anti-microbial coatings.
Anti-graffiti
The IFS anti-graffiti formulation enables the easy removal of graffiti using common solvents. We can add this clever formulation to many of powders, so talk to a representative about your anti-graffiti needs.
