For industrial procurement officers and engineers on the South Shore, a finishing partner’s value is measured by technical precision and logistical reliability. In a high-stakes manufacturing environment, a delay in the coating process is a delay in final delivery.
Atelier Desforges provides high-performance metal finishing and coatings designed for the industrial, architectural, and manufacturing sectors. While our main facility is strategically located to serve the province, we are a leading provider of powder coating chateauguay solutions through our specialized pickup and delivery network.
As an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility, we provide the documented traceability and repeatability required for municipal, automotive, and aerospace contracts. We don't just apply paint; we provide a certified barrier against failure.
The Advanced Electrostatic Powder Coating Process
Our electrostatic powder coating line is engineered to meet the rigorous specifications of modern engineering. We rely on standardized testing to ensure every part leaves our shop ready for the field.
01
The longevity of a finish depends on the substrate. We utilize industrial sandblasting and chemical pretreatment to achieve the necessary surface profile. This ensures our electrostatic powder coating achieves a 5B Rating (ASTM D3359) for superior mechanical adhesion, preventing delamination under stress.
02
Using a high-voltage electrostatic coating process, we achieve a "wrap-around" effect. This ensures uniform coverage on complex geometries and recessed areas. This process is highly efficient; advanced electrostatic application allows for 95% material utilization by recycling overspray, making it a sustainable, low-waste choice for your supply chain.
03
Curing and Quality Control
Parts are cured in temperature-controlled ovens to form a continuous skin. Following the ASTM D3363 standard, we verify a pencil hardness of 2H to 4H, ensuring the finish resists scratches. Our ISO 9001 protocols ensure that every batch of metal finishing and coatings is inspected for thickness and consistency.
In the humid and salt-heavy environments of Quebec, corrosion protection coating is a functional necessity. We use resins qualified to the highest global standards:
Our corrosion protection coating can withstand up to 4,000 hours of continuous salt spray testing (ASTM B117).
Systems qualified to AAMA 2604/2605 maintain color and gloss integrity for 5 to 10 years.
Our process is virtually VOC-free (EPA compliant), helping your company meet ESG and LEED v4 mandates.
Our finishes resist cracking under sudden impacts up to 160 inch-pounds (ASTM D2794).

FAQ
Yes. Although Atelier Desforges is not physically located in Châteauguay, we provide a dedicated pickup and delivery logistics service specifically for the Châteauguay and South Shore industrial sectors. We handle the transport of your parts to ensure a seamless finishing process without you having to manage freight.
The electrostatic powder coating process is far more durable than traditional liquid paint. It involves applying a dry powder that is electrostatically charged and then cured under heat to form a hard skin. This results in superior resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading, making it the preferred choice for industrial metal finishing and coatings.
For industrial applications, our corrosion protection coating is tested to meet high standards like ASTM B117 (up to 4,000 hours of salt spray). Depending on the environment and the powder system used (such as AAMA 2604/2605), the finish can protect against rust and oxidation for 10 to 15+ years.
Absolutely. We understand that industrial deadlines can shift. Atelier Desforges offers an Emergency Service to prioritize urgent projects for manufacturers in the South Shore area. You can contact our team to activate an accelerated production schedule to minimize your downtime.
Yes, it is one of the greenest finishing options available. Our electrostatic coating process is virtually VOC-free (Volatile Organic Compounds) and produces almost no waste, as overspray can be recycled. This helps your company comply with modern environmental regulations and LEED certification requirements.
