Hydrocarbon Coatings

Accurate Measurements

Hydrocarbon resins are used in paints, stained and protectants in wood, two-component epoxies, marine coatings, pipe and metal coatings, with paper coating production, fireproofing, and heat production. When the goal is to offer protection from heat, combustion, rust, abrasion, chipping, corrosion, and friction, extend durability, decrease dry-time, prevent chipping or peeling, offer protection from UV rays, waterproof or provide an impenetrable layer – hydrocarbon coatings are applied. The necessity to measure the amount of moisture or coat weight in the process is ideal for the user to reduce waste and increase the efficiency of production. Users can see a return on their investment of moisture measurement in as little as 30 days.

Hydrocarbon coatings have multiple uses:

  • affordable protection from severe temperature fluctuations
  • corrosive and high load/high-stress environments
  • reducing friction
  • increasing thermal stability
  • increasing wear life of parts and products
  • provide corrosion resistance & gives coating durability
  • enhance adhesion & dry time

Side by Side Comparison

non-contact

Our equipment never comes into contact with the product, allowing for less waste

zero drift

Our sensors are guaranteed not to drift over time – which saves time and money

closed loop

Create a closed-loop process by tying a moisture sensor into your PLC. Full control over the line!

no recalibrations

We’ve mastered the art of moisture sensors – your unit will never need to be recalibrated for the same product twice!

Proper Solutions

Assess

Locate the point in the production process in which measuring moisture will be the most crucial and beneficial. Identify how you will use the moisture measurement data for improvements and if it will tie into your PLC.

Remember this could involve more than one installation point!
