Concrete Resurfacing Materials

Parkway-Kew provides HVOF (spray speeds exceeding Mach 2), plasma ceramic coating, metallizing, submerged arc welding, and fuse welding. Each technology is matched to specific applications, from tungsten carbide matrix coatings like PK-675 and PK-750 to chrome oxide ceramics like PK-1500 for maximum wear resistance on wire drawing blocks.

Restore & Grind fills and blends only the worn drawline area of a wire drawing block, seamlessly matching the original coating profile. This allows 5-7 cost-effective repairs before a full recoat is required, dramatically reducing both downtime and long-term maintenance costs compared to conventional full recoating cycles.

Key industries include oil and gas (fracking plunger rebuilding), wire mills (wire drawing block and capstan hardsurfacing), shipping terminals (festoon wheel manufacturing), and heavy equipment operations (rope pulley rebuilding). Each application relies on precision coatings to withstand extreme friction, pressure, and corrosive conditions.

The standard PK-62 nickel chrome coating suits general-duty fracking plunger applications, while the heavy-duty PK-730 tungsten carbide coating is engineered for the harshest, most abrasive downhole conditions. Both use a proprietary concentricity-holding finishing process to reduce vibration and scoring during pump operation.

Parkway-Kew's precision finishing process can correct concentricity issues of up to .015 inches relative to the clamping end. This proprietary technique mimics actual pump holding conditions during finishing, ensuring the rebuilt plunger runs true and minimizes vibration and premature wear once returned to service.

Yes, Parkway-Kew serves customers across the USA and internationally, including Latin America through a dedicated regional sales and marketing director. Spanish-language documentation and technical presentation materials are available, and the team provides direct phone, fax, and email support for global inquiries.
