Custom Powder Coating for Data Centers

Expert Metal Finishing for Critical Infrastructure Components
In data centers, even small metal components, server racks, enclosures, structural supports, cable trays, conduits, and carts must perform reliably under tight standards for durability, airflow, load, and longevity. Rocket Powder Coating offers custom powder coating services that meet those exacting needs. With decades of experience serving industrial and commercial clients across Minnesota and Wisconsin, we combine small-town values with big-city capabilities.
Powder coating offers more than a clean look; it creates a uniform, smooth, and highly protective surface that resists wear, corrosion, humidity, and mechanical stress. That protection helps extend part life, reduce maintenance, and minimize downtime, crucial when every minute counts.
Built to Handle Data Center-Scale & Complexity
Rocket Powder Coating isn’t a “small shop” applying standard paint. Our two full-scale facilities, located in Centuria, WI, and Hinckley, MN, are equipped to manage large-scale, heavy, and complex projects. Our Centuria batch facility accommodates parts up to 30 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall, with handling capability for assemblies weighing up to 5,000 pounds.
What does that mean for data centers? Whether your project is a single custom server rack, large structural frames, or multiple heavy cabinets, we have the capacity to take it on. We also offer custom powders, from standard colors and gloss levels to specialty textures and finishes, to meet your functional or aesthetic requirements.
Quality, Standards, and Durability You Can Depend On
At Rocket, every step of the powder coating process is managed under strict control, from pretreatment and application to curing and inspection. We monitor chemical concentrations, curing-oven accuracy, electrical grounding, adhesion, thickness, gloss, and salt-spray resistance, among other metrics.
We’re also certified under AAMA 2604 and AAMA 2605, standards that ensure high-performance coatings for architectural aluminum, including long-term durability, UV resistance, and color retention.
These rigorous quality controls result in coatings that reliably protect against corrosion, wear, environmental exposure, and mechanical stress. That means you get components that look professional, perform under load, and endure through years of data center operation.
What Types of Data Center Components Work Best
Our services are well-suited for a wide range of data center infrastructure, including but not limited to:
- Server Racks and Enclosures: Powder-coated metal offers corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance that lasts.
- Structural Supports and Frames: Heavy-duty supports, enclosures, or rack systems benefit from coating strength and durability.
- Cable Trays, Conduits, and Raceways: Protective finishes help resist abrasion, humidity, and metal fatigue over time.
- Mobile Carts and Equipment Trolleys: Frequent movement and load-bearing make durable powder coating a smart choice for longevity.
- Safety Fixtures, Signage, and Custom Metal Shelving: Custom powders give flexibility for color-coding, branding, or compliance-related finishes.
Because of our large-part capacity and commitment to custom powders, we can accommodate both standard and specialized data center requirements.
Our Process: Precision From Start to Finish
Pre-Treatment & Surface Preparation
All parts are meticulously cleaned, from phosphate spray washing to sandblasting if needed, to remove contaminants, old coatings, or oxidation. This provides a clean, uniform base for powder application.
Custom Powder Application
Using advanced electrostatic spray systems, Rocket applies powder coatings precisely, achieving full coverage even on complex or intricate geometries. The right powder formulation is selected for each job, whether you need a smooth gloss finish for aesthetic purposes or a rugged texture for industrial durability.
Curing & Bonding
Coated parts are cured in controlled ovens, ensuring the powder fuses deeply into the metal surface, creating a hard, bonded, and durable finish. Oven temperature, metal thickness, and heat transfer are all carefully calculated to assure optimal results.
Quality Control & Inspection
Every part is inspected for coating thickness, adhesion, gloss, uniformity, and corrosion resistance (e.g., salt-spray testing). Only after parts pass inspection do we move on to packaging.
Packaging & Delivery
Finished components are carefully packaged and transported via our own trucks to ensure they arrive safely and ready for installation. We handle projects of any size, from a single rack to multi-ton assemblies.
