Infrashield Coating
 INFRASHIELD SM is a coating application system designed to be applied in conjunction with hot dip galvanizing. This coating application technology allows specialty designed coatings to be applied to galvanized surfaces resulting in superior corrosion protection offered by combining cathodic protection with a non-conductive coating.
INFRASHIELD SM coating technology expands the range of use and effectiveness for a variety of dependable coatings. The fast cure time and one coat application allow for consistent coating quality with virtually unlimited film build. These products offer reliable flexibility and are impact, chemical and abrasion resistant. Typical uses can range from direct soil contact structural components, fresh water and waste water treatment and transportation, hazardous waste storage, chemical processing, power generation and many other applications that have unique corrosion issues.
