Coatings are used in many different industries, some of which include automotive, aerospace, infrastructure, pipelines, oil & gas, mining, and shipbuilding. Abrasives and fused minerals are a key ingredient in coatings and have two distinct applications: surface preparation and as a component of the coating.
For surface preparation, Washington Mills produces abrasive blasting grains. Washington Mills can aid in grit selection to obtain a required surface profile for a coating specification. As an additive for coatings, metal oxides and fused mineral powders and grains enhance severe duty resistance properties (chemical and mechanical) as well as provide enhanced optical/reflectivity and anti-skid properties.
