There are many worthwhile advantages to using a superior coating on your HVAC system. These coatings maximize your heating and cooling equipment’s performance, durability, and effectiveness. Think of it as a wise and necessary investment for your HVAC machinery.
A lot is riding on the protective coating you select for your HVAC-R equipment. It needs to provide a shield against corrosion, guard units from environmental pollutants, and even make them pleasant to look at.
Over the past few decades, there have been ongoing improvements in water-based coating technology, formulation, and application techniques. These coatings have evolved to be more sophisticated, providing enhanced performance characteristics, durability, and environmental benefits. As a result, water-based coatings are now commonly preferred for coating HVAC units when they meet the requirements.
Coils are where the magic happens in HVAC-R (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration) units. They are typically made of metal, and they either cool your space by absorbing heat from the indoor air or they produce heated air to warm up the area. This exchange is what makes your indoor temperature to your liking.
Tests measure all kinds of things, like physical endurance, intellectual prowess, and even emotional competence. And while all those are important, at Heresite Protective Coatings, our favorite test is salt spray testing.
Corrosion testing on HVAC coatings can be conducted according to a number of standards, including ASTM-B117, ISO 9227, ISO 12944-6, and ISO 20340. Of these tests, the one we believe represents actual service environments most closely is ISO 12944-9 (formerly ISO 20340) vs. the more common ASTM B-117. ISO classifies

Much like your favorite brand of facial tissues or fruit-flavored gelatin, the word Heresite has come to represent a type of HVAC-R coating no matter who it’s manufactured by.
