What's new?
Our filter housings are typically delivered with a phosphating treatment, which provides basic corrosion protection and enhances coating adhesion. This typically protects the housings during transport and storage from corrosion. In most cases, customers paint the housings themselves after installation.
On request, the pressure filter housings of the SF series can now be powder-coated in your desired color. This expansion allows us to better cater to your specific requirements and aesthetic preferences. You can choose from all RAL colors, all NCS colors, and special colors based on customer samples.
How does powder coating work?
Powder coating is an innovative coating process where electrically charged powder is applied to the surface of the filter housing. This powder is then melted in an oven, forming a uniform, durable layer. This method is characterized by high resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and mechanical stress. It also offers a wide range of color and texture options, greatly expanding the design possibilities for our customers.
Powder coating vs. painting
Compared to traditional wet painting, powder coating offers significant advantages. It is not only more affordable but also faster, as no long drying times are required. Additionally, powder coating is more environmentally friendly, as it releases fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and generates minimal waste. Powder-coated housings are more resistant to wear and environmental influences, increasing the longevity of our products. This was confirmed in the cross-cut test according to DIN EN ISO 2409.
This is particularly relevant for outdoor use. Our filters are often used in mobile hydraulics, where the components are subjected to high stresses such as extreme temperatures, humidity, temperature changes, UV radiation, and ozone. The mechanical stress on the components is also particularly high here.

FAQs on Powder Coating for Pressure Filter Housings at STAUFF
What is the difference between powder coating and wet painting?
Powder coating is a process in which powder material is applied to the surface of the filter housing and then melted in an oven. In contrast to wet painting, where liquid paint is used, powder coating is faster, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. It also offers higher resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress.
Why is STAUFF now offering powder coating?
We have introduced powder coating to offer our customers a more efficient and durable coating process. Powder coating allows us to coat filter housings faster and more affordably while ensuring high quality and longevity.
Can I choose the color of the powder coating?
Yes, upon request, we offer the option to powder coat filter housings in your desired color. You can choose from a wide range of standard colors or request special shades that meet your individual requirements.
Is powder coating environmentally friendly?
Yes, powder coating is more environmentally friendly than traditional wet painting. It releases fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and produces virtually no waste, as excess powder can be recovered and reused.
Will the filter housings still be phosphated?
Yes, all our filter housings will continue to be delivered with a standard phosphate treatment. This treatment provides basic corrosion protection and improves the adhesion of the powder coating. The powder coating can additionally be requested for the SF series pressure filter housings.
Does STAUFF also offer custom labeling and packaging for filter elements?
Yes, in addition to powder coating, we offer the option to customize filter elements with markings, labels, and packaging. These services can also be offered as white-label products – without a logo – or private label (with customer logo) to meet your branding strategy needs.
