project results: protection where it counts

01

FERTTILIZER. ZERO CORROSION
Two months of constant fertilizer exposure and the InduroPro-coated surfaces show zero corrosion, zero fading, and zero breakdown — exactly as designed.
02

INDUROPRO HELD UP COMPLETELY
Red painted body panels and boom arm coated with InduroPro came through two months of active field use without a single sign of chemical degradation.
03

2 KITS. FULL COVERAGE
One 17oz kit and two 8.5oz kits provided complete coverage across the red painted panels and boom arm of this working Takeuchi front-end loader.
04

FIELD-READY. STLL GLOSSY
After two months in constant agricultural use, the coated surfaces cleaned up on camera with nothing but water and a microfiber cloth — no soap required.

AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT — A COSTLY COMBINATION

FERTILIZER DOESN'T JUST FEED CROPS. IT DESTROYS UNPROTECTED EQUIPMENT

Fertilizer and agricultural chemicals are among the most corrosive substances that heavy equipment is regularly exposed to — and front-end loaders used in fertilizer handling take the full force of that exposure on every surface, every day. Nitrogen-based fertilizers, liquid chemicals, and soil amendments contain compounds that attack unprotected paint at the molecular level — accelerating oxidation, breaking down surface integrity, and driving rust formation on exposed metal faster than standard UV exposure alone. For operations running fertilizer loaders through full seasons of active use, paint degradation isn't a question of if. It's a question of how fast.

InduroPro ceramicized epoxy coating was designed to stand up to exactly these conditions. Applied over cleaned painted surfaces, InduroPro forms a hardened, chemical-resistant barrier that seals the finish against the acids, salts, and corrosive compounds present in fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. Two months after Allen Ritter applied InduroPro to Bruce Oakley's Takeuchi front-end loader at their Tulsa, OK branch, he returned with Josh to document the results on camera. The coated surfaces were holding completely — no fading, no corrosion, no chemical breakdown. The machine had been in constant field use since application. InduroPro didn't flinch.

2-MONTH FOLLOW-UP | BOOM ARM

JOSH CLEANS TWO MONTHS OF FERTILIZER OFF THE BOOM ARM. WITH WATER.

The boom arm on Bruce Oakley's Takeuchi loader had been in direct contact with fertilizer and agricultural chemicals for two straight months of field use. Josh wiped it down on camera using nothing but bottled water and a microfiber cloth — no soap, no pressure washer, no scrubbing required.

What comes off the boom arm on camera is two months of field accumulation — fertilizer residue, chemical contact, and the grime that builds up on working equipment through a full season of active use. On an unprotected surface, that exposure would have already started breaking down the paint and working corrosion into the substrate. On an InduroPro-coated surface, it wiped clean in seconds. The ceramicized epoxy barrier prevented the compounds from bonding to the finish — keeping the surface sealed, intact, and easy to clean after two months of the exact conditions it was designed to resist.

2-MONTH FOLLOW UP

ALLEN CLEANS THE FENDER WITH A BOTTLE OF WATER

Allen worked the rear fender on camera — same method, same result. Bottled water, microfiber cloth, two months of fertilizer exposure wiped away without soap or pressure. The InduroPro-coated surface underneath was fully intact, holding gloss and showing zero signs of the chemical degradation that would have compromised an unprotected finish at this stage. Two different surfaces, two different people on camera, one consistent result — InduroPro held up completely through two months of constant agricultural chemical exposure at Bruce Oakley's Tulsa, OK branch

THE FOLLOW-UP SAYS EVERYTHING

TWO MONTHS IN. THIS IS WHAT INDUROPRO LOOKS LIKE ON A WORKING LOADER.

The follow-up footage from Bruce Oakley's Tulsa, OK branch doesn't need narration. A Takeuchi front-end loader that has been handling fertilizer and agricultural chemicals for two straight months — boom arm, front chassis, body panels — and every InduroPro-coated surface cleans up with bottled water and a microfiber cloth. No soap. No pressure washer. No scrubbing. This isn't a controlled demonstration on a freshly coated surface. It's a working machine, in a working operation, documented on camera after two months of the exact conditions that destroy unprotected paint.

For agricultural operations running front-end loaders, applicators, and handling equipment through full seasons of fertilizer and chemical exposure, surface degradation is an accepted cost of doing business — until it doesn't have to be. InduroPro ceramicized epoxy coating creates a barrier that agricultural chemical compounds can't penetrate and UV radiation can't deplete. One application. One and a half kits. Two months of constant field use, and the coating held without a single sign of failure. That's not a claim. That's Bruce Oakley's Takeuchi loader on camera in Tulsa, OK.

INDUROPRO FOR AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT — BUILT FOR WHAT THE FIELD THROWS AT IT

PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT FROM THE CHEMICALS THAT WANT TO DESTROY IT.

Agricultural equipment faces a category of chemical exposure that no other industry regularly deals with — fertilizers, liquid amendments, pesticides, herbicides, and soil acids that contact painted surfaces on every pass, every season, every year. Standard paint has no defense against these compounds. It absorbs, it oxidizes, and it fails — and when it does, the metal beneath it becomes the next target. For operations that depend on front-end loaders, sprayers, and handling equipment to run season after season without costly downtime, that failure cycle has a real dollar cost attached to it.

InduroPro ceramicized epoxy coating is the barrier between your equipment and the compounds that want to destroy it. Applied once over a properly prepped surface, it seals the finish against the fertilizers, acids, and agricultural chemicals that unprotected paint cannot withstand — and it backs that protection with a 5-year guarantee. Bruce Oakley's Takeuchi front-end loader in Tulsa, OK went through two months of constant fertilizer exposure and came out the other side with its finish fully intact, cleaning up on camera with nothing but water and a cloth. That's not a claim. That's a documented result from a machine that never stopped working.
