Heavy Equipment

ARMOR Chemie ® corrosion protection coatings provide long-term protection for metal parts, assemblies, and housings of machinery and heavy equipment against corrosion, environmental exposure, and intensive operational loads.

Applications include protection of:

  • Steel structures and frames of industrial machines
  • Milling, turning, and other metalworking equipment
  • Presses, hydraulic, and mechanical units
  • Heavy transport and lifting machinery
  • Conveyor systems, platforms, and production lines
  • Containers, tanks, and process vessels

ARMOR Chemie ® coatings combine high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, barrier protection, and atmospheric durability. All products undergo mandatory and voluntary certification and have demonstrated resistance to vibration, climatic stresses, and operational loads, ensuring long-lasting performance as part of integrated coating systems.

These coatings can be applied as epoxy primers, high-build coatings, or polyurethane topcoats, offering heavy-duty corrosion protection, mechanical resistance, and optimum film build for industrial machinery and equipment.

FAQ

Protective coatings for machinery and heavy equipment must meet stringent operational requirements. They need to provide high mechanical strength to resist vibrations, impacts, friction, and abrasive wear, which are common during intensive use. Coatings must also exhibit chemical resistance to oils, fuels, acids, alkalis, and other industrial fluids encountered in operation.

Additionally, coatings should maintain atmospheric durability, including resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and ultraviolet (UV) exposure, ensuring long-term performance under challenging environmental conditions.

Critical performance characteristics include adhesion to substrate, film integrity, and dimensional stability, allowing coatings to preserve protective properties over time. These requirements are essential to minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure reliable operation of both stationary and mobile industrial equipment in harsh production environments.

Heavy equipment and machinery are typically protected using multi-layer coating systems designed to provide long-term corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. These systems often include:

  • Primers that ensure strong adhesion to metal substrates and provide initial protection against chemical and environmental exposure.

  • Intermediate layers that enhance barrier protection, improve film build, and contribute to overall mechanical resistance.

  • Topcoats that provide impact resistance, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and long-term atmospheric durability.

Specialized coatings, such as those containing zinc or phosphate-based primers, are used to enhance corrosion protection in particularly aggressive environments. The combination of primer, intermediate, and topcoat ensures a comprehensive protective system capable of withstanding vibrations, mechanical loads, temperature fluctuations, moisture, and exposure to oils, fuels, and industrial chemicals.

This approach allows heavy equipment and structural components to maintain integrity, minimize maintenance requirements, and extend service life under harsh operational conditions.

Epoxy and polyurethane coatings form a durable barrier that prevents acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents from penetrating the metal surface. This barrier inhibits corrosion, prevents structural degradation, and maintains the integrity of the equipment under chemically aggressive conditions.

Epoxy coatings, in particular, are highly resistant to aggressive liquids and process chemicals, making them suitable for chemically active industrial environments. The protective layer also contributes to long-term durability, reducing maintenance frequency and extending the service life of machinery exposed to harsh chemical exposure.

Additionally, multi-layer systems combining primers, intermediate coats, and topcoats enhance chemical resistance by providing redundant barrier protection, ensuring that even if the surface is scratched or worn, underlying layers continue to protect the metal substrate.

Coatings with high hardness and elasticity, such as polyurethane topcoats, absorb vibrations and reduce abrasive wear that occurs during the operation of presses, conveyors, and other mechanical components.

By forming a resilient protective layer, these coatings minimize surface cracking, prevent material fatigue, and maintain the structural integrity of equipment exposed to constant mechanical stress.

In addition, multi-layer coating systems—including primers, intermediate coats, and topcoats—distribute mechanical loads across several layers, further enhancing the durability and service life of heavy machinery under continuous vibration and impact conditions.

Durable coatings provide long-term protection against corrosion, wear, and chemical exposure, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacement of components.

This results in fewer equipment downtimes, lower maintenance costs, and improved operational efficiency, particularly in the demanding conditions of industrial machinery, presses, conveyors, and heavy lifting and transport equipment.

By maintaining the integrity of metallic surfaces and structural frames over time, high-performance coatings ensure consistent performance and safety in continuous production environments.
