The Toughest Conditions With ArmorThane.
Protective coatings are used to shield structures from weathering and abrasion by functioning as a highly resistant barrier between surface materials and external stressors such as physical impacts, chemical corrosives, or UV radiation. They can be applied to almost any surface including wood, concrete, metal, and plastic, and offer different protective capabilities depending on the type of coating material and the quality of its application. Since their initial development, protective coatings have only grown in popularity for wide ranging applications, and are a critical technology in both industrial and commercial sectors to achieve safer and more cost-effective operations.
WHAT ARE PROTECTIVE COATINGS?
Protective coatings are a type of advanced materials technology that uses specialty polymer formulations to coat surfaces in a thin layer of durable material. Once applied, treated surfaces will strongly resist weathering and abrasion to extend the lifetime and improve the safety and reliability of critical tools and infrastructure. Their protective capabilities depend on the type of coating material, which each offer distinct advantages and drawbacks, like being highly abrasion resistant but susceptible to corrosion, or providing robust moisture resistance but discoloring when exposed to UV radiation
