AEGIS Advanced · A Spectrum Advanced company

Buildup. Corrosion. Wear. We stop it.

Advanced corrosion coatings, engineered surface preparation, and patent-pending precision magnetic heat activation — applied to bolts, structural steel, pumps, process equipment, and rolls so the parts you cannot afford to lose stay in service.

Heavy pitting corrosion damage on an uncoated industrial cylindrical part, the failure mode AEGIS prevents
Don’t let your rollers look like this

Pitting corrosion does not wait for your next outage.

This is what bare metal looks like after months of process service. Uncoated bolts, pump internals, and structural steel pit, scale, and fail without warning. AEGIS corrosion coatings, prepped with precision energy and cured with precision magnetic heat, get past 4,000 hours of ASTM B117 salt-fog on the same fasteners that fail in weeks unprotected.

01 / What AEGIS Solves

Three failure modes. One engineered coating answer.

AEGIS applies engineered fluoropolymer and Spectrum Advanced corrosion coatings — backed by precision energy surface preparation and patent-pending precision magnetic heat activation — so equipment runs cleaner, lasts longer, and stays in service.

01 — Buildup & Release Stop product transfer and resin buildup Fluoropolymer release · non-stick

Adhesive transfer, resin film, hot-melt cling, and product buildup that shut lines down for cleaning. AEGIS fluoropolymer coatings (PTFE, FEP, PFA, conductive) match release to the chemistry and temperature of the line.

02 — Corrosion Stop corrosion from eating your uptime Bonded coatings that survive real service

Pumps, impellers, vessels, structural steel, and marine equipment. AEGIS uses proprietary surface preparation and heat-activated bonding so critical assets run longer and production stays online.

03 — Extreme Wear Tungsten carbide thermal spray + sealed corrosion coat For zones with combined wear and chemical attack

For areas of extreme wear or thermal degradation, AEGIS applies tungsten carbide thermal spray, then impregnates and cures an advanced corrosion coating — one surface, mechanical and chemical protection.

01.5 / Before · After

Same pump housing. Before AEGIS. After AEGIS.

Aluminum pump housing pulled from caustic service, scaled and pitted inside the bore. AEGIS stripped it, prepped with precision energy, applied the corrosion system, and cured with precision magnetic heat. Back in service, same housing, engineered surface.

02 / Proof

Tested in the lab. Verified in the plant.

Spectrum Advanced corrosion coatings, prepped with precision energy and cured with precision magnetic heat activation, outperform “best in class” benchmarks by orders of magnitude. The headline numbers are below — the visual proof and commercial examples live on the coating-systems page.

Salt-test result * 4,000 hrs Spectrum Advanced coated bolts sound under ASTM B117 Q-Fog · evaluated per ASTM D610.
Traditional “best in class” 24 / 48 / 530 hrs Significant corrosion on the same galvanic-couple fasteners under the same test conditions.
Cure window 350°750°F Precision magnetic heating brings only the substrate skin to spec — fast, precise, mobilized.

* Test conditions. Coatings applied to plain steel bolts and zinc-plated nuts to drive a galvanic couple. Q-Fog salt chamber per ASTM B117, evaluated per ASTM D610. Internal Spectrum Advanced testing — field performance depends on substrate, prep, service chemistry, and load.

03 / Service Pathway

In-shop, onsite, or mobilized in-situ.

AEGIS coats new components, recoats failed coatings, and mobilizes to the plant when shipping a component is not practical with field-deployable coatings and in-situ heat activation — the precision magnetic cure step travels with the crew.

01 — In-shop Ship us the part Spec · prep · apply · cure · QA

Strip, profile with precision energy, apply the recommended coating, cure with precision magnetic heating, verify, and ship back ready to run.

Send the part details →
02 — Onsite Our crew at your plant Field prep + magnetic cure

For dryers, calender rolls, large vessels, and fixed equipment. Crew arrives with the rig, masking, and recovery equipment, and works inside your outage window.

03 — Repair & resurface Strip · recoat · re-spec Bring failed coatings back to spec

Spalling, undercut, corrosion pits, lost Ra. AEGIS strips the old coating, re-profiles, and recoats — same system or better-fitted based on the failure mode.

Why AEGIS

The coating is only half the system. We engineered the other half.

If the best performing coatings are commercially available, why are they not used more often? Because the surface preparation and heat-activation steps fail in the field. AEGIS engineered both — and that is what gets the 4,000-hour salt-test result out of the lab and into your plant.

  • Spectrum Advanced corrosion coatings — designed for marine, acidic, and caustic service.
  • Precision energy surface preparation — replaces grit blasting on every component AEGIS coats.
  • Patent-pending precision magnetic heat activation — 350°F–750°F cure, mobilized in-situ when needed.
  • Tungsten carbide thermal spray applied under the corrosion topcoat in zones of extreme wear.

An industrial coating company built around documented results

AEGIS Advanced is an industrial coating company headquartered in Elkton, Maryland, serving manufacturing, packaging, paper, pharma, and chemical processing customers across North America. Most jobs run on a fast turnaround schedule from our facility. For assets too large, too heavy, or too production critical to ship, AEGIS deploys portable coating cells to your plant so the equipment never leaves the floor.

The AEGIS industrial coating portfolio includes PTFE and fluoropolymer systems, HVOF tungsten carbide thermal spray, ceramic coatings, conductive coatings for ESD control, and corrosion resistant coating systems. Every job ships with a coating spec, a service life estimate, and FDA or ASTM compliance documentation where applicable. We are a Spectrum Advanced company, building on three decades of industrial coatings experience under one roof.

Industries we serve

  • Paper and tissue. Doctor blades, calender rolls, embossing rolls, dryer cans.
  • Flexible packaging. Heat seal bars, applicator rolls, anvil rolls.
  • Food and beverage. Slicer blades, conveyor surfaces, processing equipment exteriors.
  • Pharma and medical device. FDA compliant PTFE and FEP for pouch and tablet equipment.
  • Chemical processing. Pump bodies, valve bodies, piping exteriors, structural assets.
  • Heavy industry and marine. Corrosion protection, HVOF wear surfaces, bolt coating.

Why customers switch to AEGIS

  • Workshop coating. Most jobs ship out the same week. Emergency expedite available for production critical lines.
  • Longer service intervals. AEGIS coatings typically run 2 to 4 times longer between recoats than commodity work.
  • Documented every time. FDA letters, ASTM reports, surface profile data, batch records on every job.
  • One company, every system. PTFE, fluoropolymer, HVOF, ceramic, conductive, corrosion. All under one spec.
