Industrial coatings encompass a wide range of materials, all of which offer their own unique advantages and disadvantages. All coatings are protective, but not all coatings may be appropriate for the manufacturing process or for the final products that you sell to other businesses within your industry. For example, if you work in the food packaging industry, your coating is going to need to have properties that are specific to food packaging needs, namely ensuring that all of the components are resistant to abrasive contact. But if you produce parts for those in the agricultural industry, you may need to make sure that parts are resistant to moisture and UV rays, all of which will be encountered in the conditions those pieces will be in. Fortunately, figuring out which coating to choose for your industry is fairly simple. Here are a few key tips on how to choose the right coating for your industry when you shop here at Sun Coating Company.
Consider the Challenges Your Customers Will Face
The first and most important question to ask when you’re looking for the right coating is, what challenges are my customers going to face? Each industry experiences different challenges, which is why finding the right coating is so essential to the outcome. Let’s imagine that you manufacture parts for military use. A simple coating isn’t going to do the job that your customers need it to do. Military coating will need to be able to withstand high stress, corrosion, chemical agents, and so much more. The coating that you’ll use during manufacturing needs to be able to hold up against anything that might come its way for extended periods. When you’re looking for the right coating for your industry, always consider the benefits your customer demands. This will guarantee you find a coating they will be satisfied with.
Research Both Brand and Custom Formulas
Here at Sun Coating Company, we offer a wide range of protective coatings to choose from, allowing you to fully explore what’s offered out there so you can remain confident that you’ve made the right selection for your manufacturing needs. This brings us to our next expert tip: research both brand and custom formulas. If you’re looking for a fluoropolymer coating, you can always look at established brands like Excalibur coating. These brands are well-known, and you’ll be able to find a ton of information on them as well as online reviews from other manufacturers. However, you should also consider custom formulas like our proprietary coatings, which may offer you a unique array of benefits that you may not be able to find in other solutions. Take your time to research your options so you can compare and contrast what is available to you. You never know what you’ll find until you check what products meet your specifications and compare and contrast each of them until you find the best fit.
Test Different Coats and Note the Results
Testing a coating is important. Even though some coatings may sound like they’re perfect for the applications you need them for, you could always run the risk of applying them to the wrong material. If you apply a coat without testing, this will create problems in the near future. This advice also goes for overcoating. Take your time to learn exactly how to apply the coat (or reach out to us so that we can offer our coating services for you) and learn which factors may cause a problem when trying to apply a protective coating.

Heavy equipment of all kinds is designed to take a beating and function under extreme pressure. Many industries, such as mining and excavation, are located in areas with harsh weather and deal with materials that damage equipment over time. Using wear-resistant coatings that are formulated for heavy industry helps the equipment last longer, save money on replacement parts, and keep the operations going.
Addressing Friction and Abrasion With Wear-Resistant Coatings
Many industries deal with the movement of earth and stone, both of which cause abrasion to equipment. These materials are rough and hard and grind away at the coatings that are applied to the equipment. These coatings are vital to the operation of the machinery and moving the materials without them sticking to the surfaces.
As the coating wears off, it leaves the surface unprotected from the effects of the materials that are carried by the equipment. Making the decision to replace the old coating with a tough and durable one extends the life of the equipment while greatly reducing the damage done by the materials.
A Defense Against Corrosion and Oxidation
Industrial sites battle with corrosion and rust as a matter of course. Water and solutions are a necessary part of the operations, but they damage pipes, tanks, and fittings as time goes by. Wear-resistant coatings are used to stop corrosion from starting, but if the coating isn’t durable, it’s only a matter of time before the container breaks down.
Relining vessels and pipes with a durable coating prevents the metal from damage and aids in the transmission of fluids. The coating can also keep sediment and debris from settling and creating a clog due to its non-stick properties. This type of preventative maintenance saves money in the form of continual operation and less downtime.
How High-Grade Coatings Reduce Equipment Wear
Abrasion and friction are the number one enemy of conveyor belts, pumps, and screens that are used in an industrial setting. The forces generated by a crusher or an excavator bucket are immense and put the coating to the test. Over time, the coating wears off due to the repeated pressures it’s put under, and a fresh coating needs to be applied. This is your opportunity to improve wear resistance on equipment by using a PFA coating that’s stronger than similar types of Teflon®.
Teflon® is known for its nonstick properties, but it’s also highly wear-resistant. This is due to an extreme chemical bond that is inert and can’t be separated by outside forces. PFA is perfect for extending the life of heavy equipment through its highly protective qualities and enabling the equipment to operate as expected for years to come.
Should You Use MIL-SPEC Coatings Instead?
MIL-SPEC, or military spec, is the highest possible grade of coating that can be applied to a piece of equipment and its components. Military coating is known for its durability and longevity, as well as its ability to withstand wear for longer than most coatings. You can select from multiple military specifications to get the coating that works best for your needs.
The reason for using a MIL-SPEC coating comes down to the fact it does everything a commercial coating does, but better. It can withstand high temperatures for long periods of time, resists abrasion and corrosion with minimal wear, and has low friction.

Nonstick surfaces are the unsung heroes of the food and beverage industry. They are truly a modern marvel that we all take for granted. They are relied on for many reasons, including efficiency, cleanliness, maintaining high production standards, and safety. Nonstick coatings are one of the world’s innovative technologies that also reduce waste, improve food safety, and go along with FDA standards. The bottom line is that nonstick surfaces are essential in your food and beverage operation.
Step Back In Teflon Time: A Nonstick History
Nonstick technology dates back to the 20th century and like many innovations, was an accident. A scientist who was experimenting with refrigerants discovered the gas he was using solidified into a slippery surface. Later, called Teflon, this invention was the beginning of modern nonstick cookware. Although not available to everyone until the 1950s, it quickly became a household staple. Throughout the years, it continued to grow and evolve and was used for a variety of applications. Today, nonstick is essential in homes and industries. The expert and knowledgeable Sun Coating Company team has an array of coatings that are the ideal solution for your industry, product, and application.
Take a look at why nonstick coatings are game changers:
Enhances Equipment Performance and Extends Equipment Life
Nonstick coatings, like Chemours Teflon finish, create a slick surface that prevents food from sticking to machinery and cookware. Chemours Teflon®’s industrial coating can be used on multiple services including carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, steel alloys, brass, and magnesium. Additionally, it can be used on non-metallics such as glass, fiberglass, some rubber, and plastics. No excessive oils or lubricants are needed, resulting in a healthier food product and a streamlined cooking process. It also extends the life of the equipment.
Reduces Waste and Provides Cost Savings
One of the biggest challenges in the food and beverage industry is product loss from ingredients sticking to everything from pots and pans to conveyor belts. Nonstick coatings prevent this issue; fewer products are wasted. For example, the baking industry benefits greatly, especially when sticky ingredients like caramel and dough are commonly used.
Improves Cleaning and Maintenance
Nonstick coatings make cleaning faster, easier, and more efficient. Since the food doesn’t stick to the coated surfaces, it is easier and quicker to clean. Additionally, less water and cleaning solutions are needed adding to cost savings and environmental benefits.
Ensures FDA Compliance and Food Safety
The food and beverage industry is faced with complying with strict safety regulations. Many FDA compliance coatings are used to meet these non-negotiable food safety requirements. Nonstick coatings withstand high temperatures, resist chemical interactions, and prevent contamination. They are ideal for beverage filling machines, storage tanks, processing equipment, and food-grade containers and packaging. You’ll find nonstick applications on baking trays, frying pans, ice cream scoops, conveyor belts, and mixing equipment.

Equipment needs to run smoothly in engineering applications, and that means you need to do whatever you can to reduce friction. Low-friction coatings are a very good option because they last a long time, reduce the need for maintenance, and help your equipment function more smoothly in general. Low-friction coatings have secondary benefits, as well.
Why Use a Coating Instead of a Lubricant?
If you’ve got two parts that touch during equipment operation, why not just use a plain, cheap lubricant like grease or oil? Why go through the expense of coating the parts?
Sometimes, it’s just not practical to use a liquid lubricant. Maybe you can’t have liquid or greasy substances on the parts, or there’s no way to contain the liquid so that it doesn’t drip onto other parts of the equipment. For whatever reason, using a permanent, dry coating would be better in these cases. Other times, the maintenance needed to replenish the liquid lubricant may be something you don’t want to deal with. In that case, too, a dry coating would be more helpful.
It’s also possible to use both a liquid/grease lubricant and a low-friction coating. That coating acts as a backup just in case something goes wrong with the liquid lubricant, such as a leak that lets it drain away.
Why Is Friction so Undesirable?
Severe friction is obviously a problem, but is a little friction really that bad? Yes, even a little friction can lead to premature wear on parts. That increases your repair costs and takes up more of your time. Friction can also lead to excess heat generation that can damage parts and make the working environment uncomfortable for anyone who has to be near the equipment.
Friction — even a little bit — can lead to more drag on the parts. It makes it more difficult for the parts to move smoothly and increases the energy needed to force the parts through. It may not look like it to you as you watch the equipment work, but the engine can feel it. And that extra effort needed can build up over time and wear down the engine prematurely. That little bit of friction can set off a chain reaction that leads to parts needing more frequent maintenance and replacement.
Can Low-Friction Coatings Protect Against Corrosion?
As long as the coating remains intact, it can protect the surface it’s on from corrosion. This is why you need to apply a high-quality coating that’s appropriate for the particular environment and equipment. You want something that’s durable enough to withstand any contact with other parts of the equipment (e.g., gear trains) and that can withstand environmental conditions.
Is Contamination a Concern?
Any surface can technically be contaminated with different substances, but low-friction coatings release any material that gets stuck to them more easily. If grease or dirt lands on the coating, it should be easier to wipe those away to prevent them from contaminating the rest of the equipment. This is another reason why you want to ensure the low-friction coating you choose is appropriate for the equipment in question. If the equipment is exposed to corrosive liquids, for example, a coating that isn’t resistant to those liquids will only disintegrate and become a contaminant itself.
Low-friction coatings that are also nonstick are terrific for molds, such as polyurethane foam mold coatings, as they’ll release finished parts more easily, too. There’s less of a risk of some of the molded material staying behind when you remove the finished part.
Contact Sun Coating Company if you have equipment that’s in need of low-friction coatings. Whether you need a coating for a structural engineering project or have equipment that needs food processing coating, we have what you’re looking for.
Operating in extreme-temperature environments poses unique challenges for materials and coatings. Whether in frigid arctic conditions or blazing hot furnaces, specialized high-temperature coatings are often required to protect parts and equipment. At Sun Coating Company, we understand the demanding requirements of high-heat applications and offer a range of durable, high-performance coatings to meet your needs.
Withstanding Extreme Temperatures
For components and parts exposed to very high temperatures, choosing the right protective coating is critical. Without proper thermal protection, metals and alloys can experience oxidation, corrosion, and breakdown at elevated temperatures. High-temperature coatings act as a barrier, preventing damage to the underlying substrate.
Coatings for extreme heat applications must maintain their mechanical properties and adhesion at temperature. For instance, a coating that becomes too soft or fluid at high temperatures will drip or peel away, leaving the surface unprotected. Proper formulation is essential. Advanced resins and thermally stable pigments are incorporated so the coating film retains integrity even when red-hot.
At Sun Coating Company, we offer specialty Sandstrom Mil-Spec coatings designed to perform at up to 1000°F. These MIL-SPEC qualified lubricants withstand searing temperatures without burning off or decomposing. The bonded film structure remains intact, protecting critical components like firearms, aerospace parts, engines, and exhaust systems.
Protection Beyond Heat Resistance
While resisting extreme temperatures is the primary function, high-heat coatings offer additional benefits:
- Corrosion resistance – The coating forms a protective barrier inhibiting rust and oxidation at elevated temperatures.
- Wear resistance – Specialized resins and crosslinked structures provide hardness to resist scratching and abrasion.
- Lubricity – Solid lubricants like PTFE or molybdenum disulfide lower friction, preventing galling/wear.
- Chemical resistance – Thermal coatings are highly resistant to oils, fuels, cleaners, and other chemicals.
This combination of properties ensures longevity by protecting against corrosion, friction, chemicals, and abrasive wear – even at extreme temperatures.
Choice of Chemistry
There are a variety of resin chemistries used in high-heat coatings, each with relative advantages:
- Silicone – Withstands up to 600°F. Provides lubricity and release properties.
- Polyamide-Imide – Service up to 700°F. Abrasion resistant.
- Fluoropolymer – Non-stick PTFE types stable to 500°F. Chemically inert.
- Inorganic Ceramic – For very high heat up to 1800°F. Insulating. Hard.
Dry film lubricants like our Sandstrom coatings use specialized PTFE and MoS2 resins to retain lubricity even at 1000°F temperatures.
Understanding application requirements helps guide the selection of the optimal coating chemistry. Factors like operating temperature range, substrate material, corrosion risks, lubrication needs, and abrasion all play a role. Our team can help recommend the best coating solution for your extreme environment.
Application Methods
Proper application of high-temperature coatings is also critical for performance. At Sun Coating Company, we use specialized techniques to ensure a uniform, consistent coating film:
- Spray – High transfer efficiency air spray or airless spray allows for coating intricate parts.
- Dip Spin – Complex geometries are coated by dipping and then spinning off excess.
- Brush – For small repairs or touch-ups, brushing works well.
Prior to coating, surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and often abrasively blasted to promote adhesion. Parts are then coated, allowed to dry, and cured at elevated temperatures to fully crosslink the coating. Strict quality control and testing ensure coatings meet required specifications.

Your industrial machinery is the lifeblood of your business. Without your industrial equipment, you would not be able to engage in your day-to-day operations. As such, a lot of work goes into making sure that your machinery is functioning optimally. But one area that you may not have focused on yet is coatings. Industrial coatings offer numerous benefits for industrial machinery, including extending their lifespan. Here’s how coatings can extend the life of your industrial equipment, why it’s essential to apply coatings, and how you can begin preserving and bolstering your machinery with the support of us here at Sun Coating Company.
The Role of Industrial Coatings in Equipment Life
Industrial coatings are coatings that are applied to a substrate to act as a barrier between the metal and the elements that it may encounter when exposed to the environment bare. At the most basic level, industrial machinery is subject to friction and force, which can gradually wear down the metal and cause external damage over time. But there are other threats in the work environment too. These include caustic chemicals that corrode the metal on your machinery, high temperatures (for which we recommend something like Cerakote coatings), and UV rays that machinery in certain industries may face. Applying industrial coatings to your machinery serves to defend your machinery against these common threats, ensuring that the coatings take gradual damage while your machine components remain protected underneath. While your machinery will still fail over time as it’s expected to, it will be less likely to be due to various components of it failing because of the external factors wearing them down to the point where they’re becoming a hindrance. This keeps your machinery running optimally for as long as physically possible.
Why the Life of Your Machines Is Crucial to Your Business
If you haven’t used coatings in your business before, you might be asking, why now? Why is it essential to pursue this additional service?
Applying coatings to your industrial machinery is crucial for several reasons. The first reason that you’ll want to keep in mind when weighing whether or not to get coatings is the cost of having to regularly maintain or replace machinery. With coatings, your machinery is better protected, meaning that it will function for much longer stretches of time without component failure. But if you don’t have these additional coatings on your machinery, your machinery will likely get run down faster due to corrosion and abrasion. This will require you to replace parts or even replace whole equipment before you should need to. This is costly, and it’s going to have a major impact on your bottom line.
The second reason why coatings are crucial to your business is that they help to reduce downtime associated with machinery repairs. If your industrial machinery begins to degrade rapidly because of environmental conditions, you need to take time out away from production in order to address these repairs. This only becomes more problematic and impactful when you need to replace entire equipment because it has become worn down and non-functional. Productivity is necessary to maintain. With industrial coatings, you can prevent yourself from having to conduct regular repairs so that you can keep the manufacturing process running smoothly and relatively unimpeded. Just take care to select the right coating for your equipment, be it Sandstrom coating or other coating options. Choosing the wrong coating can result in more problems rather than fewer!

Any item that comes into contact with food or that even sits near food in a processing plant has to be safe for that purpose. That means that any coatings on the equipment and furniture, including noise and squeak reduction coatings, and anything else in the plant must be approved to be in that environment. This is to protect the food and any packaging or other food-adjacent items that pass through. Not using the right coatings can create a major safety problem that affects not only consumers but also your company’s future.
Food Processing vs. Food Packaging and Equipment Manufacturing
Two types of approvals for food-safe items exist. One is the USDA, which handles the processing of actual food, while the other is the FDA, which covers packaging, dishware, utensils, and many other food-adjacent products, such as the processing equipment itself. If it’s going to touch food or be near food but not actually be an ingredient, the FDA likely has oversight.
Prevention of Chemical Leaching and Physical Flaking
Why is the use of FDA-approved coatings so important? If the company making the coating has a great track record, isn’t that better than a company that was FDA-approved but still had problems? No, it’s not because you still don’t know what standards that company’s manufacturing process is trying to meet. An FDA-approved coating has been through stringent evaluation, and you can be reasonably sure that this coating won’t leach chemicals or flake into food, for example. With an FDA-approved coating, you know that the food that will eventually go into that packaging will be as safe from contamination as possible.
Lack of Immediate Effects Doesn’t Mean Lack of Long-Term Effects
One of the issues with getting people to accept that they have to use FDA-approved coatings is that they don’t often see immediate effects from using the wrong product. This is not usually an issue with larger companies, but for smaller operations that are just investigating what they need to set up their business, FDA coatings may seem like one more rule among many. But they’re very important.
A paperboard box holding cookies doesn’t appear to do anything to the cookies, so people assume the box is safe to use with food. However, the lack of immediate effects that you can see right on those cookies does not mean that the person who eats them won’t have long-term effects. If the coating on the inside of the box leaches into the food, you aren’t going to know what it will do for a while. You could find months later that people were ingesting coating chemicals because the lining on the box was faulty, and that’s the sort of stuff that leads to class-action suits. You’re much better off finding FDA-approved coatings for your packaging so that you reduce the risk of something like that leaching.
Compliance With Changing Regulations
One more reason to use FDA-approved coatings is that the companies that make them have to stay aware of any regulatory changes. If the FDA makes a requirement more stringent, the coating manufacturer has to follow those guidelines. There’s no guesswork about whether the polyurethane foam mold coatings you’re using are up to the latest standards. Coatings from companies that try to avoid FDA regulations could be woefully out of date.
At Sun Coating Company, we want your food-adjacent items to be thoroughly safe to use in processing food. Contact us to learn more about different coatings and how to apply them. You want your products to be safe and durable, and ensuring you use an FDA-approved coating is one of the best ways to do that. No matter what you manufacture, if it’s going to be near food, use FDA-approved coatings to keep your customers and consumers overall happy with each product.
Corrosion isn’t a minor issue for the marine industry; if not addressed properly, corrosion can mean the end of a ship’s sailing days. Salt water can siphon away electrons from metal, leading the metal to essentially weaken, and the water, its oxygen content, and metal can react and create rust. A company sending out a marine vessel or using marine equipment needs to add anti-corrosion coatings to any surface that might potentially be exposed to the humid, salty environment.
Why Is Corrosion Such a Problem for the Marine Industry?
Corrosion can affect even strong metals like steel. Simply having a well-built ship made of durable metal isn’t enough; the water will quickly get to work on the metal and promote corrosion. That can lead to equipment breakdowns and even hull failure. At best, the corrosion simply looks terrible, but it’s also possible that the corrosion could mean a lot of repairs.
It’s Not Just the Water You Need to Worry About
Most people worry about the salty water against the metal surface of the ship, but that’s not the only part of the environment that can cause corrosion on marine vessels and equipment. Salty air itself can also promote corrosion, and that’s even more insidious because you don’t think about the salty air touching metal. You can see water lapping up against the hull and spray from waves hitting equipment, but you don’t have such a visual reminder that air molecules are having an effect, even though they’re constantly in contact with the surfaces that are above water.
The salty, humid air can also affect any cargo and equipment the ship has on board if those aren’t protected. Equipment needs anti-corrosion coatings when possible, and cargo needs to be shielded well from the environment.
Even the Interior Pipes Aren’t Safe
You’re not going to have a perfect vacuum within the walls of the ship, and the humidity and salt in the air will seep their way into every crevice. Unfortunately, this can accelerate the aging and degradation process of pipes (plumbing or otherwise), leading to higher energy usage and more frequent repairs. Neither of these are things you need in general, much less when you’re halfway across the Pacific. Anti-corrosion coatings on plumbing pipes offer direct protection from the effects of humidity and salt, while coatings that have additional insulating properties help protect parts of the ventilation and heating systems. Better pipe integrity leads to better energy savings.
Preventing Corrosion Reduces Maintenance Needs
Any time you can prevent rusting and other corrosion, you’re reducing the need for more maintenance overall. Anti-corrosion coatings don’t eliminate the need for maintenance, obviously, but your tasks should be easier in general, with the need for serious repairs reduced in frequency. And don’t forget that the marine environment can affect the tools and parts you keep around for those repairs, too. Add anti-corrosion coatings to those, too, such as hot plate welding coatings.
You May Have Better Speed and Energy Efficiency
Anti-corrosion coatings offer a couple of extra benefits that you may not have thought about. Some of these coatings help reduce the drag of the water against the hull, and less friction and drag mean less energy is spent fighting currents. The ship’s engines don’t have to work quite as hard to keep an even speed, reducing the strain on the engine and allowing the ship to proceed more smoothly along its path to its next port.
Sun Coating Company offers coatings for most environments, including marine. Contact us to discuss the application and whether you need liquid or powder coatings. If you need a specialty coating, such as Sandstrom Mil-Spec coatings, we offer those, too. Don’t wait to protect the ships and equipment that keep your business running.

The automotive manufacturing industry continues to be a very important one as it ensures that people have access to the vehicles they need for transportation. As there is a continued demand for new vehicles in the industry today, it is very important that manufacturers are able to keep up. One of the ways that they can do this is by investing in industrial coating services for their heavy equipment and machinery. Industrial coatings play an important role in the overall automotive manufacturing process.
Prevent Corrosion
One of the largest challenges and risks that can come with any type of industrial equipment is corrosion. Rusting can be a very serious issue as it is hard to control once it stops. If it gets bad enough, it can affect the gears and structural support of the equipment. When you invest in a new piece of equipment for your manufacturing process, adding a coating can help you prevent corrosion and rust from occurring, which can help you avoid more serious repair needs.
Proper Lubrication
Any major type of industrial equipment will need to be properly lubricated. When using this equipment, the heavy gears will continue to work, get hot, and work hard. If they are not properly lubricated, this will quickly cause wear and tear. Because of this, investing in dry film lubricant coating can be a great option. When you have this coating placed, it can help keep the equipment lubricated and protected, which can allow you to avoid more significant issues in the future.
Noise and Squeak Management
When it comes to preventing a breakdown of equipment in the auto manufacturing industry, you are likely most concerned with protecting the gears and other parts of the equipment. However, the manufacturing industry also needs to be concerned with noises and squeaks when using the equipment. While sharp noises and squeaks are an indication of stress on the equipment, they can also be hard for an employee to deal with throughout the day. When investing in noise and squeak reduction coatings, you can drastically reduce the noise that is produced.
Ensure Compliance with Warranty and Lender Requirements
Another reason that a company in the auto manufacturing industry should invest in this type of coating is that it can help to protect the equipment warranty and comply with lender requirements. Heavy equipment is very expensive and valuable and many businesses will take out a loan when acquiring it. Depending on the lender, following specific maintenance and protection services could be a requirement. In some cases, this can include having an industrial coating applied. If you have received any type of warranty, it may also require you to have this type of coating.
Improved Efficiency
Margins on vehicle sales and prices can be slim, and cutting costs is very important. One of the ways you can do this is by investing in industrial coatings for your equipment. Not only can this prevent damage and wear and tear, but it will also help ensure the equipment remains efficient. Over the years, this will allow you to produce more cars at a lower cost. This can save you money and boost the bottom line.
Anyone who is in the automotive manufacturing industry is likely very aware of how important it is to keep their equipment in good working order. One of the ways that you can protect your equipment is by investing in quality industrial coating services. When you want to learn more about industrial coating and how it can serve your manufacturing business, you should call us. We can answer all of your questions and help ensure your equipment is appropriately protected.
