Products and Services

Coating services
Surface-enhancing coatings solve wear problems for the aviation, energy (power generation and oil/gas/petrochemical), and other industrial markets, including automotive, chemical, food and beverage, glass, paper, plastics, printing, steel, and textiles.

Thermal spray equipment and materials
We provide coating equipment, powders, slurries, and consumable materials for job shops and in-house coating operations. With state-of-the-art manufacturing, we offer one of the most extensive powder lines today.

Mobile coating and restoration services
The Praxair Surface Technologies Mobile Field Service Centers are the fastest and most cost-effective method to apply protective coatings to large industrial gas turbine components, including compressor rotors, bladed disks, stators, and cases. By coating portions of the entire assembled rotor on site, we can reduce your outage costs by eliminating transportation and shipping time delays and minimizing risk by keeping components on site—all while improving the efficiency of your turbine.
