    ANTI-CORROSION SOLUTIONS FOR MICROCAHNNEL HEAT EXCHANGERS

    Microchannel heat exchanger

SUSTAINED PROTECTION

In addition to the use of advanced aluminum alloys, anti-corrosion coatings play a critical role in extending the service life of heat exchangers. The coatings we offer provide reliable, long-lasting protection—even in highly corrosive environments.

RESILIENT PERFORMANCE

Coatings provide more than just protection—they expand the operating range and enhance the performance of microchannel heat exchangers by improving temperature tolerance, compatibility with a wider range of fluids, and minimizing long-term performance degradation.

GREEN STEWARDSHIP

We prioritize sustainability by employing coating technologies that are environmentally safe. From the carefully engineered chemical formulations—free from harmful substances—to the controlled application processes that minimize waste and emissions, every aspect of our approach is designed to reduce environmental impact.

ELECTROPHORETIC EPOXY COATING

MCHE electrophoretic epoxy coating

PROTECTIVE COATINGS

Electrophoretic coating, or E-coating, offers outstanding corrosion protection and significantly extends the service life of microchannel heat exchangers—even in the most aggressive environments classified as C5 and CX corrosivity zones. Its proven performance is supported by SWAAT (Salt Water Acetic Acid Test) results exceeding 6,000 hours

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 6000+ SWAAT hours (Alloy 3F05)
  • Suitable for C5/CX corrosivity zones
  • 5+ years warranty

TCP-COATING

MCHE TCP-coating

PROTECTIVE COATINGS

Delivers robust corrosion protection for heat exchangers operating in environments up to C5 corrosivity class (SWAAT hours: more than 4000). This cost-effective treatment offers long-term durability, excellent adhesion for a wide range of topcoats, and maintains thermal performance without measurable impact

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 4000+ SWAAT hours (Alloy 3F05)
  • Excellent for C4/C5 environments
  • Zero performance loss

NANO-SCALE Cr(III)/Ce(III) COATING

MCHE nano-scale coating

PROTECTIVE COATINGS

Engineered for maximum corrosion protection in the most aggressive environments, including C5 and CX zones. This advanced coating exceeds 6000 hours in SWAAT testing and is suitable for both internal and external surfaces of heat exchangers. It offers zero impact on thermal performance, hydrophobic behavior, UV resistance, and a smooth, refined finish

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 6000+ SWAAT hours (Alloy 3F05)
  • Excellent for C5/CX environments
  • For inner and outer surfaces
