Superior Shot Peening provides true PVC coating. That is, we do not simply pull a PVC mold over a metal pipe or wire. Rather, Superior Shot Peening bonds a strong PVC coating of custom thickness to the metal substrate. This PVC coating can not easily be pulled-off, and rips in the material will not compromise the integrity of the entire coating.

There are many dangers in utilizing PVC slip-on-sheaths over metal parts. First, if the sheath is breached, ripped or cut, corrosion and water are free to flow between the PVC sheath and the metal equipment. This effectively nullifies any corrosion protection the PVC may have afforded. Secondly, once a non-bonded PVC coating has been breached, the insulating and flame-retardant properties of the PVC will be compromised. Lastly, PVC coating that is not bonded will not retain its fluid flow properties once the metal or the PVC are broken. A well-bonded PVC coating will have none of these problems. Rather, a true PVC coating such as Superior Shot Peening provides, will be permanently bonded to the metal substrate and will maintain its protective properties even when nicked or cut.

Superior Shot Peening's PVC coatings have the following benefits:

• Resistant to extremely corrosive environments including extremely acidic or basic solutions, molds and fungi, salt brine, long term sun-exposure, sewage and certain nuclear wastes.
• Unbelievably wear-resistant. Our PVC coatings will resist earth movements when buried, will endure long-term fluid flow (75+ years), and will withstand rough, even abusive, handling for long periods.
• An excellent flame-retardant and insulator. The coatings will be safe to handle even if a raw, conductive, wire is present underneath.
• Able to maintain vacuum and pressure if an underlying pipe springs a leak.
• Fully bonded to the metal substrate through a multi-step process including cleaning, priming, pre-coating, dipping and baking.
• Can be applied inside or outside of pipes for ultimate corrosion-protection, fluid-mechanics and insulation.
• Fully custom-made to customer specifications. PVC coating thickness, as well as underlying physical properties (conductance, non-conductance, additional corrosion protection, etc.) afforded by pre-coatings can be custom-specified.
