Wear-Resistant Coating
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings help industrial parts resist corrosion, abrasion, and wear. Parkway-Kew Corporation recommends the right surfacing method for each application’s operating conditions.
Extend the life of critical metal parts with industrial Powder Coating Services in Shreveport & Bossier from Parkway-Kew Corporation. Built for demanding oil, gas, wire, shipping, and heavy-equipment applications, our coatings improve wear resistance, corrosion protection, and surface performance for components exposed to Louisiana heat, humidity, abrasion, and nonstop production demands.
Industrial coating solutions that improve durability, corrosion resistance, surface finish, and wear life for demanding metal parts.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings help industrial parts resist corrosion, abrasion, and wear. Parkway-Kew Corporation recommends the right surfacing method for each application’s operating conditions.
High Velocity Oxygen Fuel coating applies alloy powder at extreme speeds to create dense, hard, virtually defect-free surfaces for improved wear and corrosion resistance on process parts.
Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, including wear-resistant chrome oxide options, support high-speed, high-slip, and quality-sensitive wire drawing applications requiring durable performance and controlled surface characteristics.
Thermal spray metallizing uses practical alloy systems such as PK-400 to deliver high-quality surface finishes, especially for large wire applications where other hardsurfacing methods may not perform as effectively.
Fuse welding provides a lower-cost alternative to solid ceramics for wire drawing rings used with copper and aluminum, helping avoid common breakage or slippage problems.
Parkway-Kew Corporation rebuilds and hardsurfaces wire drawing blocks and capstans using multiple coating technologies, reducing downtime linked to frequent component changeout.
We begin by reviewing the part, operating conditions, wear pattern, and production goals. For Shreveport & Bossier industries facing humidity, abrasive service, or oilfield demands, this helps identify the coating system most likely to improve service life.

Founder
Eugene Walter Klein is the visionary founder of Parkway-Kew Corporation, establishing the company in 1952 after identifying an innovative solution to a pressing industrial challenge. As a welding supply salesman, Eugene was approached by a valued customer seeking help repairing worn machine parts and improving their wear resistance. Drawing on his expertise, he recommended a specialized hardfacing wear-resistant weld alloy, proved the concept by welding the first test piece in his own garage, and secured the company's landmark first order to rebuild 100 wire drawing blocks. His entrepreneurial spirit and deep technical knowledge laid the foundation for what would become the world leader in hardsurfaced wire drawing blocks and capstans, a legacy that has endured for over 70 years.
President
Eugene Edward Klein Sr. serves as President of Parkway-Kew Corporation, carrying forward the legacy established by his father, the company's founder. Under his leadership, Parkway-Kew has experienced remarkable growth, outgrowing four separate facilities before relocating to its current headquarters in North Brunswick, NJ in 1999. Eugene has been instrumental in driving the company's continuous technological innovation, from the introduction of HVOF coating for wire drawing blocks in 1989 to the development of the proprietary Restore & Grind process. A recognized industry authority, he has traveled throughout the country delivering presentations on wire drawing block maintenance, cementing the company's reputation as the world leader in precision metal coating and hardsurfacing solutions.
