COMPARITIVE ANALYSIS
When you Metalize, You Economize
Actual twenty-year costs of metalizing (in light blue) versus in-house corrosion-control efforts using conventional coatings (in blue). Note that the difference in initial costs is nominal, and the lower maintenance costs of metalizing can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long term.
Rugged. Smart. Economical.
Competitive initial costs. Lower lifecycle costs. It all adds up to the best, most cost-effective, corrosion-fighting system in the world. Better yet, metalizing has been performing for nearly a hundred years, with the case histories to back it up.
THE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
The metalizing process is not just a cost efficient, but a better method for rust prevention. Plus the time involved in the application is much shorter than traditional painting.
Durability and Greater Bond Strength
- Can last up to ten times longer than painted coatings, reducing the need for blasting and repainting.
- Forms an ion exchange, creating a molecular bond of alloy metal at the surface.
- Wraps around angles and stiffeners. Does not shrink or pull away from sharp edges.
- Superior resistance to panel rusting, blistering, and undercutting.
- Impermeable, non-porous, and abrasion-resistant, with superior adhesion.
Fast, Safe Application
- MTM’s patented sprayers are capable of deposition rates of 1,200 square feet per hour, which approaches the application rate of conventional coatings.
- Adjustable spray pattern can produce surfaces of greater texture and profile.
- Heat dissipates almost immediately, preventing heat transfer to adjacent areas or scoring of areas below.
- Cure time is mere seconds, not hours or days.
- A wide variety of metals can be applied: zinc, aluminum, copper/nickel, stainless monel, and other alloys.
Few Temperature or Weather Restrictions
- Unaffected by surface or ambient temperatures, so metalizing can be performed any time of year.
- Fewer weather delays. Can be applied in most climactic conditions--even some types of inclement weather, with proper precautions.
Environmentally Friendly
- No volatile organic compounds, overspray, or hazardous waste.
- No need for solvents or other chemicals.
- No shelf-life limitations and not affected by UV exposure.
- Approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
