Have you noticed?

Many manufacturers of garden hardware tools have stopped using traditional anti-rust paint Why?

Because liquid paint simply can’t survive real garden conditions

Take pruning shears, shovels, rakes, trimming tools, garden cart metal parts, outdoor ironwork accessories…

These tools get tortured all year by mud, fertilizer, pesticides, moisture, and UV

So the requirements for anti-corrosion, wear resistance, and scratch resistance are very high

In the past, manufacturers could only use liquid paint systems

Primer, topcoat, drying — the whole process took one to two days

And after long-term outdoor use, peeling and rusting were still common

Plus the environmental issues

But now, more and more garden hardware factories are switching to —

powder coating

The reason is simple:

1) The efficiency leap is insane

From pretreatment to spraying to curing

The entire powder-coating process takes only one hour

Compared to liquid paint that needs several rounds of drying over several days

10× faster is not an exaggeration — it’s just reality

2) Thicker, tougher, more impact-resistant

Garden tools get hit, scraped, dropped all the time

Powder coating is thicker and harder than liquid paint

So the wear resistance is noticeably better

3) Truly long-term corrosion protection

Mengneng’s powder system passed 4200 hours of cyclic aging tests

Equivalent to 25+ years of outdoor anti-corrosion

In simple terms — it doesn’t peel or rust easily in rain, soil, or fertilizer environments

4) The cost actually goes down(this is the key point)

Powder is recyclable, solvent-free, and environmentally friendly

And with much higher efficiency, the unit cost per tool goes down instead of up

That’s why many export-focused garden tool factories switched even earlier

In the past, garden hardware used liquid paint mainly to save cost

But now, because of efficiency + durability + export environmental requirements

Powder coating is becoming the mainstream choice

So this is why you’re seeing

Garden tools quickly replacing liquid paint with powder coating

Are you still using liquid anti-rust paint for garden tools?
