Coating
Solutions for every industry.
Our coating team is highly skilled and cross-trained to allow for J&A to shift labor where it is needed, giving us a competitive advantage and cost savings that can be passed on to our customers.
The J&A Manufacturing five stage pre-treating process ensures part corrosion protection and adhesion of the coating. The pre-treating operators are trained and tested to ensure that the operation is being performed consistently and accurately. J&A Manufacturing has deployed standard work, FMEA, Documented Procedures, Frequent Chemistry Verification and Adjustment, Chemistry Test Logs, and Rechecks as required to ensure that new operators are properly trained and the process is documented and repeatable.
Members of our coating team have received education and training in Coating Application, Part Preparation, Product Handling, Lean Manufacturing Principals, Part Symmetry, Sampling Plans, Chemistry Adjustment, and Leadership.

With both wet paint and powder coating options available, J&A has the right finish for the job.
-
J&A can design, build, and apply screen printing to fabricated parts or customer supplied materials. Building our own screens saves on cost and lead time, and insures we have complete control over the process.
-
Laser marking is an economical way to perform crisp marking on a variety of materials, including metal plastics, wood, glass, leather etc. Our Fiber Optic Laser Marking system has a 5.00” x 5.00” MAX marking area.
-
All plating is performed by J&A approved suppliers to ensure that the highest quality of plating is applied to your parts.
The coating operation consists of both wet and powder coating applications depending on your unique requirements.
The wet coating application can be water, urethane or epoxy based. In order to be environmentally responsible (GREEN), J&A has had many of its customers order specified paints reformulated to lower VOC (Volatile Organic Compound).
The powder coating materials come in a wide range of colors, glosses, and textures to fit your needs. When possible, we suggest you incorporate this type of finish into your design because there is no VOC emission associated with this process. J&A has added quick color change technology to its powder coating systems and made significant upgrades to other equipment and lighting.

We work with calibrated ovens and instruments to ensure repeatability of the process. Revalidation is performed for each lot by coating a coupon and performing one or more destructive tests as needed.
Our modern coating equipment, with both powder and wet painting capabilities, facilitates flexibility in our material finishes.
