Coating Specification
Coating specification is the common ground between the customer and the coating applicator. It defines both what the customer expects for their purchase, and what the applicator is required to do. Good specifications improve an uncoated item by adding certain characteristics to the part with a properly chosen and applied coating. Corrosion resistance, wear resistance, lubrication, anti-gall, anti-stick, and color are major improvements that can be engineered into the manufacture of an item. Consideration must be given to use conditions, base metal, configuration, clearance, tolerance, and economy before creating a written specification. Good specifications benefit both the user and the applicator. We are approved and preferred by many of the major oil, gas, and petrochemical companies, manufacturers, and OEM's. Metal Coatings Corp has assisted in the development of many customer specifications. We have a vast resource available to us in the form of industry standards, government standards, coating manufacturer standards, in house standards, and many years of experience in the industry.
