Powder coating is designed to be durable, but routine maintenance still extends its life. Dirt, salt, and pollutants left to accumulate can dull the gloss and trigger corrosion at scratched spots.
Clean regularly with mild soapy water (neutral pH) and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals, wire brushes, and strong alkaline solutions that can dissolve the coating.
For outdoor products exposed to salt or coastal environments, rinse with clean water periodically — especially in the rainy season — so salt and pollutants do not settle on the surface.
Small scratches can be handled with touch-up using matching powder or touch-up paint; more extensive damage should be recoated by a professional applicator to restore full protection.
Choose the right powder type for the usage environment from the start — polyester for outdoor, hybrid for indoor furniture — to keep maintenance minimal. Discuss your options with the SIKKAS team.
