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 ultraviolet (UV) curable coatings, electron beam (EB) curable coatings, and Excimer UV curable coatings suitable for finishing a broad range of metal alloys. These include steel, aluminum, brass, and more. 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).
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.
