Coating Credentials
This customer were able to save thousands of pounds, by recycling their old components – which some would have deemed as ‘scrap’. When the water boxes were re-installed, the customer benefited from the same efficiency that you would get with a new system with the added benefit of excellent corrosion protection – extending the life of the refurbished component. Corrocoat’s coating and engineering expertise combined once again benefited the customer two-fold.
