Coating Specifications & Resources

Coating specifications are 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 coating specifications improve an uncoated item by adding certain coating characteristics to the part with a properly chosen and applied coating. Corrosion resistance, wear resistance, lubrication, abrasion resistance, anti-galling, non-stick and color are major improvements that can be engineered into the manufacture of an item.

Before creating a written specification, we consider the following factors to benefit both the user and 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.
