Coatings for Metal
Sustainable, energy cured metal coatings that create a variety of finishing properties.
Collaborate with RDC Coatings for metal finishes that enhance the finished product’s appearance.
Metal manufacturers applying finishes to linear components, flat sheets, or complex, multi-faceted parts partner with RDC Coatings for sustainable, energy cured finishes. RDC supplies custom engineered, environmentally friendly metal coatings, including ultraviolet (UV) curable coatings, electron beam (EB) curable coatings, and Excimer UV curable coatings, all suitable for finishing a broad range of metal alloys. These include steel, aluminum, brass, and more. We offer a wide array of custom industrial metal protectives; trust RDC to create the ideal solution for your metal coating needs.

Clear Finishes
RDC formulates an extensive selection of UV and EB clear finishes in high to low gloss. They are applied with roll, spray, curtain, or vacuum coating technologies to metal substrates and vacuum metalized parts. Specialized chemistries for steel, aluminum, galvanized brass, and other metal materials ensure uniform thicknesses and successful adhesion. Depending on the desired specifications for a given product, RDC’s clear finishes can be enhanced with chemistries that resist slips, scratches, or corrosion.
Colored Finishes
Applied with roll, spray, or vacuum coating equipment, RDC offers a wide range of UV and EB curable color coatings for metal with 100% transfer efficiency. Formulated specifically to coat metal substrates completely, these energy cured finishes can be engineered with high to low gloss properties, as well as for improved resistance to slips, scratches, or chemicals.
High-Speed Applications
For the fastest production lines, RDC offers an EB vacuum coating system that cures linear parts — such as tubular products like pipes, fencing, railings, furniture components, and more — at speeds up to 400 feet per minute with nearly 100% transfer efficiency and zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Benefits of RDC’s Custom Metal Coatings for Manufacturers
Custom Metal Coatings for Every Application Process
Using application methods identical to those employed in conventional metal coating processes, RDC Coatings’ UV and EB curable metal coatings and finishes ensure superior transfer efficiency. All RDC energy cured finishes can be applied to metal substrates via roll coating, spray coating, curtain coating, vacuum coating, and dip coating.
Customized Performance for Your Specific Needs
One size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we specialize in custom-formulated curable metal coatings and tailored industrial metal paint solutions. Metal finishing processes can enhance a product’s adhesion properties and resistance to chemical exposure. For instance, specialized coatings may be required to withstand harsh chemical environments or to provide a surface that allows for better bonding with other materials. At RDC Coatings, we work closely with you to understand your application process, performance expectations, and aesthetic goals. Whether you need a specific color, gloss level, or specialized resistance property, our team will develop the perfect coating to meet your exact specifications.
Enhanced Durability and Protection for Manufacturers
Selecting a coating that offers robust durability is essential for manufacturers aiming to produce high-quality, long-lasting metal goods. Our industrial metal protectives are engineered to withstand harsh environments, resisting abrasion, chemicals, and corrosion. Whether you’re producing automotive components, building materials, or industrial machinery, RDC’s curable metal coatings provide the long-lasting protection your products require. We offer specialized formulations, including UV-resistant paint for metal, to combat the damaging effects of prolonged sun exposure, extending the lifespan of outdoor products.
Sustainable Metal Coating Solutions for a Greener Future
Metal manufacturers are actively seeking coating solutions that minimize their environmental footprint. Our team is committed to providing them with environmentally friendly metal coatings. Our UV and EB curable coatings offer significant advantages over traditional solvent-based systems, minimizing VOC emissions and reducing waste. By choosing our custom UV-curable paint for metal and other sustainable options, manufacturers can demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility and meet increasingly stringent regulations.
