Powder coated aluminum is a beautiful and durable material for outdoor furniture. Aluminum by its nature does not rust. It will not have red/brown rust colors like untreated steel can have; instead it will oxidize into a cloudy and white powdery finish over a long period of time in adverse conditions.

Beside above, which is better powder coating or anodizing? Anodizing is an inorganic finish, while powder coating is an organic finish. Powder coatings are some of the best organic finishes (paints) on the market. However, they cannot withstand the same abuse as inorganic finishes, such as plating or anodizing. Corrosion resistance is also better with inorganic finishes.

Also question is, what is the difference between anodizing and powder coating Aluminium?

Anodizing cannot peel off. The coating is actually part of the metal. Anodizing gives aluminum a deeper, richer metallic appearance than is possible with powder coatings. This is because an anodized coating is translucent, and one can see the base metal underneath the coating.

How long does aluminum powdercoat last?

15-20 years
