Benefits of Fast Cure Products

TCI's formulation lab uses innovative technology to enhance the economic and environmental benefits of our offerings. One way we do that is by offering fast cure technology. The benefits of these cures include: 

1) Energy Savings: Increased line speeds = reduced manufacturing hours

2) Maximized Output Profit: By coating more parts in the same amount of time, the manufacturing costs  is lowered improving the profit margin per part

3) Eliminate bottlenecks associated with cure time/temperature restraints of the power application/cure process

4) Reduced carbon footprint in combination with reduced operating hours

The faster you can cure, the less you need to run the cure oven, and the greener your powder coating process will be.

New TruDurance™ Architectural Color Card

After extensive market research and feedback from our customers, TCI decided it was time to re-vamp our architectural TruDurance Color Card. A key part of our business is to continually innovate and enhance our product offerings, and this card is a reflection of that effort.


You may ask yourself, what is different about this card compared to the last? The answer is, a lot!


·      Outside Cover Now Green!-  To differentiate from our Stock Color Card and also represent the environmentally friendly qualities of our coatings

·      Refined Product Choices- To focus in on the best and not overwhelm you with options. Less colors also meant bigger color chips, allowing you a better understanding of what the colors really look like

·      New Categories- Metallics, Solids, Anodized and Textures

·      New Options- All the colors on this card are available in AAMA 2604 and 2605 quality, they can also come in TGIC-free chemistry upon request

·      Improved Quality: All products on the new card have been formulated to have improved mar resistance and over-bake stability

If you have any questions, please reach out to your TCI Sales Representative or feel free to contact us here: https://tcipowder.com/company/contact-us/

Simple 4 Steps to Color Match



Quite often powder coaters will need custom made to order products with unique glosses/textures and colors. TCI has matched just about any color under the sun and would be happy to match yours today. We have even simplified the process into 4 easy to follow steps.

If you have a color to get matched;

First- Email your TCI Sales Representative
-       State all the details of the color you would like to have matched

Second- Ship the Standard
-       Ship color target standard to TCI in Americus, GA. Ideally this is in the form of a painted metal piece such as a chip or a panel

Third- Approve the Match
-       Our state-of-the-art innovation center can have your color matched and sent back for you to approve

Lastly- Place the Order
-       Confirm the amount desired with your sales representative, they will then send the order to our manufacturing plant where we can have it produced in as little as 5-7 business days.

It is as easy as that!
