Our powder coating facility will give your product the superior finish that is tough, durable, attractive, economical, and environmentally compliant.
As the powder coating industry grows, so does DiFruscia Industries. We remain an industrial paint and powder coating job shop, a service company, providing quality application of coatings to the specifications of our customers.
C.A.R.C. which stands for chemical agent resistant coating, is the organic topcoat that is used on all armed services’ combat vehicles, aircrafts, and tactical equipment. It is a two part polyurethane that is resistant to water, petroleum, acids, biological, and radioactive agents. These coatings produce a non-porous coat that impedes radioactivity, chemical and biological contaminants from penetrating the coating and the base material. Instead of penetrating the coating, chemicals bead up on the exterior of the surface and are washed off easily.
DiFruscia Industries is an applicator of 3M’s Skotchkote™ Fusion-Bonded Expoxy Coating 134W. 3M Skotchkote™ is a baked green epoxy coating that is used in custom applications to protect internal and external surfaces on pipelines and a variety of different infrastructure components that require corrosion and wear protection. Because the bonding process provides great adhesion, some common applications for this coating are valves, pumps, pipe drains, hydrants, and porous castings. Another benefit of 3M Skotchkote™ is its long gel time, which takes up to 2.5 minutes at 3500F / 1770C, allowing coating of large surfaces or parts with complex recesses can be coated without overspray or laminations.
When it comes to production powder coat DFI is your go to, currently running 2 fully automated lines. From .25” cylindrical parts to 16 ft. grids. We have the tooling, racks and a production mined staff to meet your deadlines, whatever it takes. We embrace LEAN principals and are constantly improving. We have performed time critical, high volume projects for national and global end users. No matter what industry your company serves, we understand the dynamics that make you a success, and these are the same standard we operate by. Quality, on time. No Excuses.
