WHAT IS A CUSTOM COATER?

A "Custom Coater of Fluoropolymer Finishes" (Custom Coater) applies fluoropolymer films to various substrates, usually metals. In order to apply these technologically advanced coatings, a Custom Coater employs precise techniques, rigid quality control, superior knowledge, specialized equipment, and respect for the art and science of coating application.

Custom Coaters have the experience and knowledge to determine which fluoropolymer coating system can best solve a customer’s problem. They decide how to prepare the substrate and apply the selected system to provide optimum performance. If special tooling is required, a Custom Coater can usually design and obtain it.

Custom Coaters carefully monitor calibrated ovens during the high temperature curing process. The cure process is vital to achieving the optimal characteristics of the coating. A Custom Coater will inspect the finished coating, perform quality assurance tests, and provide certification as required. Custom Coaters provide a unique service to a multitude of industries to solve a large array of problems.
