Commercial Applications

Over the past three decades, the use of coatings in commercial applications has grown significantly. Companies that have struggled to overcome heat management and corrosion issues are discovering that the right coating formulas can have a dramatic impact on the life expectancy and performance of their manufactured parts. However, despite the advantages of coating, many industries have yet to tap into the efficiencies and safeguards represented by selecting the right coating applications. At Jet-Hot, we believe broader adoption for commercial coating applications is directly linked to a lack of awareness of the benefits of coating.

Discovery through dialogue

Some of our greatest commercial success stories started with a conversation between a Jet-Hot engineer and a chemist or engineer at a company looking for a specific solution. The dialogue evolved into documented performance specifications, which turned into a test run of a Jet-Hot coating application on a limited number of parts. These parts were then tested to the spec and calibrated based on the findings. The end result was a manufacturing partnership that addressed a particular issue.

That’s how it tends to work on the commercial side of the Jet-Hot operation. We have a dialogue about a specific manufacturing challenge – thermal fatigue, electrical conductivity, emissivity or oxidation, etc. – and we do our homework to find a coating solution. In essence, our engineering team becomes an extension of your program, helping you discover how Jet-Hot coating applications can make your precision parts more effective.

Production capacity, systems and processes

Jet-Hot has production facilities in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arizona. We can run thousands of commercial parts each week, shipping them according to your JIT needs. This efficiency is made possible by manufacturing techniques and principles informed by the theories of W. Edwards Deming, a philosophy of systems and processes that pervades Jet-Hot at all levels. Our deep commitment to continual systems improvement provides significant benefits for the customer, as rework and waste are perpetually in the crosshairs.

Industries and applications

Jet-Hot has provided coating solutions for the automotive, motorcycle, marine and submarine, locomotive, aerospace, defense and firearm industries. Our coatings are subjected to extreme conditions, including perpetual heat, moisture and friction. And that’s where Jet-Hot shines. We make parts last longer and work harder, which means when your product goes to market, you won’t have to second-guess performance.
