Coatings for Metal

Using application methods commonly employed throughout the metal finishing industry, RDC’s UV, EB, water-based, and Excimer coating systems provide exceptional flexibility across manufacturing environments. Depending on the coating technology and application requirements, RDC finishes can be applied through roll coating, spray coating, curtain coating, vacuum coating, and dip coating.

One size doesn’t fit all. That’s why RDC specializes in custom-formulated metal coating solutions tailored to specific application requirements.

RDC’s development process begins with on-site audits and detailed evaluations of customer equipment, substrates, application methods, production goals, environmental requirements, and performance expectations. The team then recreates process conditions within RDC laboratories to validate coating performance before implementation.

Whether a project requires rapid UV curing, high-performance EB systems, environmentally conscious water-based technologies, or the distinctive aesthetic capabilities of Excimer coatings, RDC develops formulations designed around the realities of each production line.

Selecting a coating that offers robust durability is essential for manufacturers producing high-quality, long-lasting metal products. RDC’s protective coating systems are engineered to withstand harsh environments, resisting abrasion, chemicals, corrosion, and weather exposure.

Whether you’re producing automotive components, building materials, consumer products, or industrial equipment, RDC develops coating systems that provide the long-term protection your products require.

Not every application can be solved with an off-the-shelf coating. RDC specializes in developing custom coating technologies for unique performance requirements, challenging substrates, and demanding production environments.

Whether the goal is improved adhesion, enhanced durability, specialized appearance characteristics, premium matte aesthetics, regulatory compliance, or unique functional performance, RDC develops solutions around the application rather than forcing the application to fit a standard product.

Metal manufacturers are increasingly seeking coating technologies that support environmental and sustainability initiatives. RDC offers a range of environmentally responsible solutions, including UV-curable, EB-curable, water-based, and Excimer coating systems.

UV and EB technologies can significantly reduce VOC emissions compared to traditional solvent-based systems, while water-based coatings provide another effective pathway toward lower-emission manufacturing. By leveraging the appropriate coating technology for each application, manufacturers can improve sustainability performance while maintaining the appearance, durability, and productivity their operations demand.
