What coatings do you apply?
Some of our most popular coatings include Rilsan® Nylon, Xylan®, Halar® ECTFE, powder coatings such as Epoxy, Polyester, Urethane and Nylon, and DuPont Fluoropolymers, including coatings that contain PFA, FEP, PTFE and ETFE. AIC also applies Glyde Coat®, a coating that we have developed in-house to meet needs for an economical, high-performance coating.
What colors do your coatings come in?
This depends on the coating. Some coatings, such as Xylan® and Glyde Coat®, come in a wide range of colors. Other coatings may be more limited in terms of color choices. If color is a key requirement, we have plenty of options for high-performance coatings with many color choices.
Do you have coatings approved for NSF / FDA / medical uses?
We have worked with many clients to coat parts that meet NSF, FDA and medical use requirements. Meeting these requirements usually demands not only that a certain coating be used, but that a particular quality documentation process as well. AIC can help you select the correct coating and can customize documentation as necessary to meet your requirement.
