Answer Five Questions

What is the part made of?

Substrate drives pretreatment, and in a few cases it rules a process out on its own.

How much heat can the part take?

This is the single most decisive question. Cure temperature is a thermal cycle applied to your part.

Where does it live in service?

What matters most on this part?

Pick the one you would protect if you had to give up the others.

Will it fit in an oven?

Our oven capacity is generous, but some weldments and vessels are simply too large.

Answer the questions above and we will show you where we would start — including the spec language to put on your print.
