In this information sheet, we have highlighted
a few of these specialist products, which are
of interest across a range of industries, but
specifically the turbine/engine manufacture
and overhaul. Where products have been released
to a specification, (e.g. MSRR), a specific test
process is followed and results are available. Each
product has its own, detailed technical data sheet;
please contact our sales team for more details.
Indestructible Paint are committed to developing and enhancing our range of high temperature and sacrificial coatings and are happy to engineer coatings for specific applications at our customers request. Not restricted in our vision, we always attempt to find the best solution using both - organic and inorganic alternatives.
