Answer: Yes. We only powder coat the outside of your cup. Everything inside, where your beverage would touch, remains stainless steel and perfectly safe.
Yes, stainless steel can be powder coated. This is typically done to create stainless steel in different colors and change the texture of the surface. Powder coatings can also help improve corrosion resistance of stainless steel in salty or chlorinated areas like water parks or marine environments.
Luckily, Yeti cups are easy to customize with spray paint. Choose whatever color you want, prepare your cup, and add a few coats of paint to make your Yeti cup not just a great mug but also a reflection of your personality. If you don't have a Yeti, use whichever stainless steel mug you have.
Yes, you can paint your Yeti cooler.
Powder coating is a highly effective and versatile method of applying a durable finish to various metals, but there are certain exceptions regarding pure zinc and magnesium. These metals possess chemical properties that make them unsuitable candidates for traditional powder coating processes.
The powder cannot stick to metals and other materials that can't hold an electrostatic charge. Moreover, the extreme heat is yet another reason why some metals aren't good candidates for powder coating. Metals that are great for powder coating include the following: Steel alloys.
Health hazards
For most powders, significant exposure can result in health effects such as occupational asthma and skin irritation and skin sensitisation. The health hazards of using commonly available coating powders arise from: direct skin contact with the powders. breathing in powders in the air.
We just added a thin coating to the stainless steel through PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) to give a brushed Graphite or Copper finish from top to bottom. Each one is coated with the highest-level of UV resistance and layered with an advanced, oleophobic coating (which is science for: it's fingerprint-proof).

Most of our stainless and Duracoat drinkware can be customized, however certain products may be excluded due to product availability, limited marking areas, or difficulties in marking due to the design of the product. Any product that is customizable will have our customizer option available during checkout.
✔️ Temperature Retention: When we tested Stanley and Yeti water bottles side by side, they provided nearly identical temperature retention over 24 hours — the Stanley kept water cooler by just one degree compared to the Yeti. ✔️ Price: They're also quite similar in price.
How long does powder coating last on stainless steel? A meticulously applied powder coat on stainless steel can last 10 to 15 years, demonstrating superior durability compared to traditional paint finishes.
Powder Coating Cost per Square Foot
The average cost per sq. ft. for powder coating is $1 to $5, which averages out to $0.70 to $0.40 per square inch. The price per square inch is relevant for smaller items that may measure less than a foot in size but still need to be powder coated.
Powder-coated steel is highly resistant to rust in most cases, so it won't develop unsightly rust patches or leave red streaks on a patio or building facade. However, if it sustains damage, small cracks in the coating may appear, admit moisture and allow rust to form.
Yeti Holdings Inc. says it will stop selling items at Lowe's Cos. Inc., part of its effort to focus on other sales channels that promise greater business opportunities.
We do on-site laser engraving on a variety of materials including, Metal, Glass, Wood and Leather. We can handle anything from single units, to corporate orders of hundreds of units. We stock hundreds of tumblers from YETI, Stanley and Polar Camel.
High-Grade Materials. Yeti coolers are constructed using premium materials such as rotomolded polyethylene, which is known for its exceptional durability.
So, if you've heard about powder coating food appliances, you might be wondering if powder coating is food safe. If you choose an FDA-approved food-safe powder coating, it is a safe finish for food applications.
When blasting your YETI or Polar Camel, we recommend using the plow/shovel technique at a lower air pressure (20 PSI) with a fine abrasive (180 silicon carbide). The plow/shovel technique just means that you sandblast parallel with the tumbler, rather than pointing the nozzle directly at the surface.
YETI drinkware products are crafted of premium 304 grade (aka Food Grade) stainless-steel which must contain 18% chromium and 8% nickel and is also known as 18/8 stainless steel. Our Magslider™ lids are made of BPA free polypropylene #5 and are made of Eastman Tritan™.
Powder coatings are incredibly durable and wear-resistant, but they can still incur scratches, fading, stains and other abrasions.
Given the factors above, the lifespan of a powder coat can vary widely. On average, a high-quality powder coating can last between 10 to 25 years, or even longer in optimal conditions. However, areas with heavy sun exposure or harsh weather conditions may experience a shorter lifespan.
All of the powders used in powder coating processes are non-toxic, non-volatile and completely safe, whether they're being sprayed or simply sitting in one spot. Contrast this with wet paint, which can be carcinogenic, flammable and otherwise hazardous to employees if they do not handle it properly.
