A material applied to the surface of a substrate, coatings are used across many different industries and applications to improve the performance of a workpiece or component. Abrasives and fused minerals are a key ingredient in coatings and coating processes, and have two distinct uses:
Surface preparation plays a vital role in improving and ensuring the performance and durability of a completed substrate or workpiece. Effective surface adhesion offers significant protections by allowing the coating to become part of the substrate itself, rather than simply laying as a thin layer on the workpiece surface. If a surface is not properly prepared, the coating cannot be applied correctly, resulting in costly re-works as equipment fails to meet durability, performance, and lifecycle expectations.
Washington Mills industrial product experts can aid in the grit selection of abrasive blasting grains to help your operation obtain your desired surface profile for your coating specifications on the first try.
As an additive for coatings, metal oxides and fused mineral powders and grains enhance severe-duty resistance properties, both chemical and mechanical, while also providing enhanced optical, reflectivity, and anti-skid properties.
