When it comes to protective coatings, the outcome is only as good as the process behind it. At Heresite, quality isn’t something we inspect at the end. Rather, it’s built into every step of what we do. Our Controlled Application Process Protective coatings aren’t a set-it-and-forget-it situation. At Heresite, we
Humidity is no friend to metal equipment. It works around the clock, settling into coils and slowly turning bare metal into rust. For HVAC systems, constant moisture exposure is often the single biggest reason for equipment failure. That’s why Heresite develops coatings engineered to conquer corrosion in even the most
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.
Living and working in a coastal community has many benefits. For starters, the views are great, sparkling beaches, and unforgettable sunsets. Many say the sound of the waves brings them a sense of tranquility and calm. And some believe that being on the coast has natural health benefits, thanks to
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 can be costly, as evidenced by the one-half trillion dollar price tag incurred yearly by consumers and companies alike – roughly 3% of the US annual GDP. Preventing corrosion would seem to be an obvious solution to avoiding these enormous costs, but how? The answer – specifically for heat transfer equipment – is provided by Heresite Protective Coating P-413.
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
ES-600 offers high performance and spray application Manitowoc, Wis. – Heresite’s ES-600, a high-performance epoxy-silane specially designed to provide superior performance in demanding environments, has successfully me the ISO 12944-9 Cyclic Offshore Test protocol. The ISO 12944-9 (formerly ISO 20340 test) for C5-X environments cycles the coating between salt spray,
Many facility engineers are interested in the possibilities of using UV-C light to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. UV-C light has been shown to be a proven method controlling airborne infection. It works by destroying the outer protein coating of the SARS-Coronavirus. Right now, the effectiveness of UV-C on
Why ASTM B117 Alone Shouldn’t Be Used to Predict Coating Performance ASTM B117 salt spray testing has long been an industry standard for evaluating corrosion resistance. However, decades of research have shown that the test has little correlation to how protective coatings perform in real world environments. For HVAC equipment
