The finishing touch on tool boxes for trucks, such as tool totes and trailer tongue utility boxes makes an important statement. But what you might not know is that the finish has just as much to do with function as it does with fashion.

One of the newest and most durable finishes for truck tool boxes is powder coating. The coating is made up of finely-ground resin and pigment particles which are sprayed over the surface of the tool box. After the charged particles adhere to the surface, which is electronically grounded, they’re heated in a curing oven to create a smooth coating. The end result is a high-quality finish that’s not only attractive, but also highly-durable and protective. Powder coat finishes are more resistant to scratching, chipping, rust and even UV damage than other finishes.

As if the look and durability of the powder coat finish wasn’t enough, it also happens to be one of the most environmentally-friendly finishes available for tool boxes for trucks. Powder coats are free of solvents, and they release very low and benign amounts (if any) of volatile organic compounds into our atmosphere.

Attractive, highly-functional and environmentally-friendly, powder coats are your best choice for the finishing touch on your truck tool box.
