AST/Acme specializes in the application of high performance coatings and linings to prolong the life and optimize efficiency of equipment in corrosive & abrasive environments. We are a proven leader in the coating of air-handling equipment; including fans, ventilators, unit heaters, and HVAC climate changers.
In most cases AST/Acme receives fully assembled units/fans direct from the manufacturer. We disassemble equipment, prepare all surfaces to be coated by grit blasting and/or chemical treatment whichever is the most appropriate; then special coatings are applied in strict accordance with prescribed specifications.however, we don’t stop there. After the coating has been applied, quality assurance tests are performed to check adhesion, proper coating thickness and continuity. Following these tests AST/Acme reassembles the equipment and ships direct to end user.
Another Industrial coating in the AST/Acme repertoire is that of powder coatings. These include Epoxies, Polyesters, Nylon, PVC, Kynar, Halar,and many versions of Teflon products. We have found the use of electrostatic spray allows for excellent coverage and can be used for decorative requirements to protection against severe high temperature and corrosion conditions.The oven capacity at our plant (12’ * 10’ * 18) enables us to coat large industrial equipment with high curing temperatures.
Fluoropolymer coatings are blends of high performance resins and fluoropolymer lubricants. Fluoropolymer coatings are excellent for reduced friction, non stick, non wetting, electrical resistance and abrasion resistance. Many Fluoropolymers are single coat thin films that provide excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. Other “Teflon” coating can be applied at much higher film thicknesses that increase abrasion protection while still retaining its non-stick properties.
Further, AST is a leader in Flouropolymer coating. Because flouroplymer coatings such Kynar, Halar, and Teflon’s are needed to protect metals in severely corrosive environments, special skill and experience is needed by the applicator. That is ...
