Rust & Corrosion Protection Products

HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) coating sprays metal powders like tungsten carbide at supersonic speeds exceeding Mach 2, producing an extremely dense, low-porosity layer. This density prevents moisture and corrosive elements from penetrating the substrate, making HVOF one of the most effective methods for protecting components in harsh, corrosive industrial environments.

Plasma spray ceramic coatings, like PK-1500 Chrome Oxide, offer the highest wear resistance for extreme abrasion applications. Metallizing (PK-400) produces a high-quality surface finish ideal for very large components. Both provide corrosion protection, but selection depends on component size, required hardness, and surface finish needs.

Restore & Grind fills and blends only the worn drawline area of a component rather than requiring a full recoat. This allows 5-7 cost-effective repairs before a complete recoating is needed, significantly cutting material costs, labor, and equipment downtime compared to full replacement or recoating every cycle.

Oil and gas fracking operations, wire mills, shipping terminals, and heavy equipment manufacturers benefit most. These industries expose components like plungers, drawing blocks, festoon wheels, and rope pulleys to constant friction, moisture, and chemical exposure, making durable corrosion and wear-resistant coatings essential to operational reliability.

Yes. Parkway-Kew offers full rebuilding and hardsurfacing services that restore worn fracking plungers, wire drawing blocks, festoon wheels, and rope pulleys to like-new or better-than-OEM condition. This approach extends component life, reduces capital expenditure, and minimizes the downtime associated with sourcing new replacement parts.

Coated components generally outlast uncoated originals significantly. For example, urethane-coated festoon wheels last 2-3 years longer than OEM equivalents, while tungsten carbide and ceramic-coated wire drawing blocks resist wear and corrosion far longer than untreated surfaces, reducing changeout frequency and associated production interruptions.
