About Paint and Protective Coatings
More
Protective Coatings
Used to insulate, create grips, and color-code components, these coatings resist high temperatures, light abrasion, and corrosion.
Rubber coatings withstand salt and acids. Although primer is not required for use on all materials, it can be used to prepare any surface to maximize the life of the coating. Apply topcoat to give coated surfaces a glossy finish that resists fading.
PVC plastic coatings can be used on nearly any surface, including rubber. They withstand salt, acids, alkalies, and gasoline. They also resist UV light, so they won’t lose their color when exposed to sunlight over long periods of time.
Coatings in a can can be dipped, brushed, or sprayed.
Coatings that cannot be sold outside of the United States do not meet product labeling requirements.
Primers and topcoats cannot be sold outside of the United States due to product regulations.
VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Impact-Resistant Polyurethane Coatings
Designed for use on hoppers, chutes, and pumps, these coatings protect against impact and abrasion. Thicker than paint, they resist UV, moisture, and chemicals. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
Primers cannot be sold to Canada due to regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Impact-Resistant Reusable Peel-Away Coatings for Metal
These soft, pliable coatings add cushion and absorb shock. Use them to protect tools, dies, and other parts during shipping and storage. To apply, heat coatings and dip the object. Once removed, coatings can be melted again for repeat use.
Solvent-based coatings won’t dry out, even when stored over a long time.
Water-based coatings have no odor and won’t leave an oily residue once removed.
Corrosion-Resistant Reusable Peel-Away Coatings for Metal
Protect tools, dies, and other parts during shipping and storage with these durable, removable coatings. After peeling, they leave a greasy film for continued corrosion protection. To apply, heat coating and dip the object. Once removed, coating can be melted again for repeat use.
Abrasion-Resistant Reusable Peel-Away Coatings for Metal
Protect tools, dies, and other parts during shipping and storage with these durable peel-away coatings. They resist abrasion, moisture, and corrosion. To apply, heat coatings and dip the object. Once removed, coatings can be melted again for repeat use.
Solvent-based coatings won’t dry out, even when stored over a long time.
Water-based coatings are the most durable peel-away coatings we offer.

Clean-Away Coatings for Metal
Protect metal parts from corrosion. Also known as rust-inhibiting film, these coatings can be removed with a simple degreaser or mineral spirits.
Wax coatings meet MIL-C-16173 for corrosion-resistant compounds that dry to thin, easily removable films. Grade 4 coatings dry to a nontacky finish that’s suitable for environments exposed to high humidity and chemicals. Grade 2 coatings dry to a slightly tacky, self-healing film that lubricates as it protects.
Mineral oil coatings don’t fully dry, so they leave a tacky film. Coating with a maximum temperature of 250° F lubricates as it protects and can be used as a start-up lubricant for stored machinery.
Coatings in a jug can be dipped, brushed, or sprayed.
Coatings that cannot be sold to the regions listed are restricted by product labeling requirements or exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
