Most
industrial performance coaters are just that, Coaters. Meaning, they
apply a commercially available "acceptable & proven" formulation to
customer components; then let the customer determine if their coating
process is any good. If things go as planed, then everybody is happy. At
Cradin Industries, Inc. we know exactly what works and what doesn't!
Let's be candid, there are numerous "high performance" coating
formulations available from some engaging industrial chemical giants.
But, how does a coating applicator actually determine which of the
commercially available formulations are the best suited to specific
customer requirements? We, at Cradin, accomplish this task by testing
the subject coating on our high-load low-oscillation test rig. Next, we
test coated components on our in-house Stuska Engine Dynamometer, and
finally "track side" on our Tulu Racing 1990 Beretta 588 C.I. Big Chief
powered drag racing car. At Cradin Industries, Inc. we know what works
and what doesn't…because we test and we test and then we test some more! |

Understanding the basics
and diversity of high performance coatings, which satisfy an extensive
range of today's engineered material design criteria; no single coating
formulation, regardless of its manufacture, is capable of handling all
of these diverse mechanical and chemical requirements. In that regard,
let's break it down into four fundamental coating categories; those
being:
Lubrication
Thermal Barrier
Thermal Dispersant
Corrosion & Chemical Resistance |
