At Advanced Technical Products (ATP), we understand that industries relying on metals—whether in forging, heat treating, or high-temperature manufacturing—face constant challenges with oxidation, scaling, and surface degradation. Protecting metals during production is not only about quality, but also about cost savings, efficiency, and long-term performance. That’s where our Water-Based Coatings come in.
These coatings have become the go-to choice for manufacturers who want reliable protection while meeting the increasing demand for eco-friendly and safer solutions. Let’s take a closer look at how they work, their benefits, and why industries across the board are adopting them.
Why Water-Based Coatings Are Essential in Metal Processing
During high-temperature operations like heat treatment, metals are vulnerable to oxidation and decarburization. This can lead to compromised strength, rough surfaces, and costly rework. Traditional coatings often relied on hazardous materials, raising environmental and safety concerns.
ATP’s water-based protective coatings, such as our Oxy-Shield line, are specifically designed to:
· Minimize oxidation and decarburization.
· Maintain the integrity of ferrous metals during processing.
· Deliver a non-hazardous and worker-safe solution.
By combining performance with safety, our coatings reduce downtime and extend the life of valuable parts.
Advantages of ATP’s Water-Based Coatings
1. Environmental Responsibility
Today’s industries must comply with stricter environmental standards. ATP’s coatings are water-based, lead-free, and non-toxic, making them safer for both workers and the environment.
2. Cost-Effectiveness
With fewer part rejections and reduced post-processing needs, these coatings provide measurable cost savings. By preventing oxidation, parts come out of heat treatment with less scale and surface damage.
3. Ease of Application
ATP coatings are versatile and can be applied via brushing, dipping, spraying, or flow-coating—allowing for seamless integration into existing production processes.
4. Reliable Protection
By creating a barrier that withstands extreme heat, these coatings ensure consistent part quality and reduce the risk of production interruptions.
