Food & Beverage Processing

Mascoat industrial coatings are ideal for equipment in food processing facilities. Our coatings are easy to apply to flat and geometrical surfaces, and perform well when exposed to moisture, condensation and humidity. After coating installation, factory machinery operates more efficiently and keeps equipment safe from heat and burns. The NSF-approved insulating coatings also withstand regular cleaning without the need for maintenance or additional application for more than 20 years.

Conventional insulation can experience reduced efficiency in moisture-heavy environments and cannot protect against corrosion, mold or bacterial contamination. They often require equipment shutdown, causing costly downtime. Mascoat coatings prevent corrosion and are not susceptible to mold or bacteria. They can be sprayed directly onto working substrates, saving time and money.

Application Areas Include:

• Retort Cookers
• Commercial fryers
• Boilers
• Storage Tanks
• Sterilizers
• Pipework
• Other substrates

Product Advantages Include:

• Thermal insulation up to 350°F (177˚C)
• Food-safe, NSF-approved formula
• Reduction in facility wide energy costs
• Reduction or elimination of condensation
• Convenient spray-on application for complex geometry and hard-to-reach surfaces
• Elastomeric expansion and contraction that prevents cracking
• Enhanced performance of heating and cooking equipment
• Surface adherence that eliminates Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)

Safety is of the utmost importance to Mascoat. Our industrial coatings create a safer environment for food processing employees by providing a significant reduction in the exterior temperature of melting tanks and cooking equipment. Not only does it keep employees more comfortable, it also helps prevent accidental burns and other dangerous, heat-related injuries.

Sugar Mills

Mascoat industrial coatings are the perfect insulation solution for high-moisture, steam-powered sugar mills. Our coatings offer superior insulation without the worry of Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI), protecting your assets and preventing equipment failure from rust. Traditional insulation degrades when exposed to constant moisture. Mascoat coatings have a moisture-resistant design which extends machinery life while saving manpower and money.

Our products are available in a concentrated spray form, offering a fast, simple application for facilities of all sizes. The coatings can be installed while mills are in operation, so costly machinery downtime is virtually eliminated. Best of all, substrates protected by Mascoat industrial coatings are safe to touch, energy efficient and resistant to cracking. We offer a variety of cost-effective options that deliver significant energy savings and increased personnel safety, without the need for reapplication and maintenance.

Application Areas Include:

• Steam lines
• Tanks
• Plant accessories

Product Advantages Include:

• Improved temperature maintenance and facility efficiency
• Burn protection and enhanced employee safety
• Reduction in overall mill energy costs
• Thermal insulation up to 350°F (177°C)
• NSF approved, food-safe coverage
• Spray-on formulation easily applied to hot and/or hard-to-reach surfaces
• Flexible, no-crack response to expansion and contraction
• Reduction or elimination of condensation
• Custom colors available to blend with sugar mill equipment

"Mascoat's insulation coating is a great fit for my plant. I have personnel protection, energy retention and complete inspectability of the substrate at all times. With the constant startups and shutdowns, expansion and contraction of the coating has never been a problem. We have had no problems with it since it was applied."

Paper Mills

Mascoat industrial coatings offer safe and economical thermal protection for the unique challenges within paper mills. Unlike conventional insulation that can absorb moisture from steam and humidity, our coatings retain energy, protect personnel and control condensation without retaining moisture - protecting your equipment for 20+ years.

Mills have seen substantial energy savings using Mascoat products because of their anti-conductive properties. This allows for more energy to be retained in equipment that was previously too costly or susceptible to corrosion to conventionally insulate. In one case, steam usage to heat a tank dropped by approximately 30 percent after the installation of Mascoat Industrial-DTI, saving that mill an estimated $80,000 per year!

At Mascoat, we are also focused on personnel protection. Our coatings have been tested and proven to increase the safety and comfort of your paper mill crew by reducing dangerous heat and condensation on your equipment. Our products are available in an easy, spray-on form that can be applied even while machinery is in service. This eliminates costly equipment downtime and delayed product delivery.

Application Areas Include:

• Ductwork
• Storage vessels
• Pipes and lines
• Tanks
• Other substrates

Product Advantages Include:

• Prevention of Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
• Elimination of costly machinery and duct corrosion
• Increased equipment and mill efficiency
• Simple application for hard-to-reach spaces
• Reduced factory temperatures and improved employee comfort

Storage Tanks

Mascoat provides a long-lasting thermal insulation for oil, gasoline, fuel, flammable liquid and all other types storage tanks and terminals. Using an easy one-part, spray-on process, our industrial line of products maintains the integrity of your storage terminals by eliminating costly Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). Unlike conventional insulation which absorbs moisture that can drastically reduce thermal efficiency and promote CUI, Mascoat’s coatings bond directly to the surface or primer and do not allow for moisture intrusion. As a result, the coating will provide a consistent thermal efficiency for 20+ years while reducing maintenance costs and worries. This can be especially important to facilities that adhere to API RP 583 concerning Corrosion Under Insulation.

Application Areas Include:

• Liquid storage tanks
• Return tanks
• Boilers
• Condensate return line
• Heat Exchangers

Product Advantages Include:

• Laboratory and real-world tested corrosion and rust prevention
• Full-service coverage in only 1.0-5.0 mm coating thickness depending on contents
• Reduce heat loss and vapor emissions
• Quick application with minimal equipment and crew
• Environmentally friendly, low-VOC formulation
• Ability to withstand extreme weather conditions, including hurricanes and superstorms, without insulation breakdown

Mascoat industrial coatings have been proven to protect personnel from burn injuries (via AMPP/NACE TM-21423-2017), making it safe to work around and walk on tank equipment for regular inspection and maintenance.
