Houston Plating & Coatings Now an Approved SermaGard Applicator

Houston Plating & Coatings announced that the company is now an approved applicator for the SermaGard line of coating products.

Manufactured and distributed by Linde plc, the SermaGard line of sacrificial metallic/ceramic and non-sacrificial barrier coatings is widely recognized as a leading coating used to prevent corrosion on industrial fasteners and on various substrates in extreme temperature and corrosion-critical environments.

“SermaGard is a very special addition to the broad line of corrosion prevention coatings we offer our clients,” says William Howard, CEO of HP&C. “It is especially effective when used as a basecoat for offshore applications requiring outstanding salt corrosion protection and UV resistance. Even before we received final approval, clients were calling and asking about it.”

The SermaGard 1105/1280 coating system is in use in major offshore drilling, chemical, and petrochemical facilities in the United States and worldwide. This aluminum-filled basecoat/resin-bonded fluoropolymer topcoat system is designed to provide outstanding salt corrosion protection and UV resistance for fasteners and components exposed to offshore atmospheric and subsea environments.

Linde is a leading global industrial gases and engineering company with 2024 sales of $33 billion. The company serves a variety of end markets such as chemicals and energy, food and beverage, electronics, healthcare, manufacturing, metals, and mining. Linde's industrial gases and technologies are used in countless applications, including the production of clean hydrogen and carbon capture systems critical to the energy transition, life-saving medical oxygen, and high-purity and specialty gases for electronics. Linde also delivers state-of-the-art gas processing solutions to support customer expansion, efficiency improvements, and emissions reductions.
