Our R&D team prides itself on developing coatings that save you time and money through improved drying and curing times as well as lowering cost through our own resin design and manufacturing capabilities. At John L. Armitage we design and produce custom polymers that are incorporated into our coatings to meet specific performance and environmental requirements and conditions.
Our Industrial and Construction coatings are applied throughout North America by leaders in the Steel Joist and Steel Deck Industries in controlled manufacturing environments as well as in the field. This line of Armorhide steel primers insures construction components will be protected during manufacturing, shipping and the erection process. The primers are available in both Water base and Solvent Base technology.
Recently we have added resin manufacturing capabilities which makes us very competitive for pricing on water-based primers. Please let us help you put some speed into your production.
