Coating Tips

Chemically etched surfaces, mechanically blasted, or sanded surfaces can add extra adhesion promotional characteristics to a substrate. Having a clean, oil, soil and oxide free surface for coating to adhere to a substrate is the most important factor in successful application.

Thin-film ceramic paint coatings are a liquid coating that bonds to a large number of common substrates. AEGIS AECH is different from many thin-film coatings in that it has UV-stability resists oxidization events.

Many epoxies and ceramics discolor, yellow, or lose gloss when exposed to UV rays over time. Powder coatings are often used as a workaround for outdoor exposure, but they come with their own limitations—especially when tight tolerances are involved.

Aegis coatings, in contrast, are designed to resist UV degradation.
