How much does it cost to apply an HZO coating to my product?
As a general rule of thumb, the cost of coating is a function of material, thickness, surface area, volume, and application. Other considerations, like masking and de-masking, will also influence the final price. Our cost reflects a turnkey approach that combines material(s), equipment, people, and process (IP). The outcome and price are for a protected product – guaranteed. There is no coating equipment to buy or technology to license, and pricing starts at under $0.10 a part. Contact us today to see how HZO can meet your protection requirements.
How do I pick the coating that is right for my product?
The level of protection desired (hydrophobic, corrosion resistance, etc.), environmental factors (exposure to salt fog, chemicals, etc.), use considerations (for example, heavy handling), and longevity (days vs. decades), and other factors all work to define the coating solution. Each solution is defined by the material, application process, and thickness.
