project results: protection where it counts

  • 01

    AXLE STILL FULLY PROTECTED

    InduroPro-coated axle showed zero signs of new rust or corrosion after six months of use.

  • 02

    STEEL PANEL SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON

    The InduroPro-coated airflow panel remained like-new while an uncoated panel on a second machine showed heavy corrosion.

  • 03

    BRACKET PROTECTION THAT LASTS

    Tank bracket retained full gloss and protection with no oxidation present.

  • 04

    PROTECTION YOU CAN SEE VS. UNCOATED PARTS

    InduroPro-coated fire extinguisher bracket outperformed an uncoated counterpart on another unit.

6 MONTHS IN THE FIELD

REAL-WORLD PROOF FROM A WORKING FARM

Farmer Tim in Jennings, Louisiana runs multiple RBR Venturi and Salford fertilizer and urea spreaders across demanding acreage. Several of these machines arrived factory-coated with ceramic products prior to ownership. On one of the most heavily worn units in his fleet, Tim chose a different approach—using InduroPro on the machine’s known corrosion pain points instead of another wipe-on coating.

Six months later, the InduroPro team returned to evaluate performance in real operating conditions. The results were clear. Critical components coated with InduroPro showed no new rust, no oxidation, and no finish breakdown, while adjacent uncoated parts on similar machines showed significant corrosion. This follow-up confirms that InduroPro delivers long-term protection where traditional ceramic coatings fall short.

WHY THIS MACHINE WAS DIFFERENT

TARGETING THE KNOWN FAILURE POINTS

farmer Tim operates multiple Venturi and Salford spreaders, many of which were factory-treated with ceramic coatings before entering service. Tim opted to apply InduroPro to areas that historically rust first -- the axle, brackets, steel panels and mounting hardware.

These follow-up photos show induroPro protection lasts, even when exposed to fertilizer, moisture, and abrasion. The goal wasn’t appearance alone, but long-term protection in real farm conditions.

SIX MONTHS LATER

COMPARING

During the follow-up visit, the InduroPro team evaluated several side-by-side comparisons.

Two steel panels on the airflow fertilizer applicator told a clear story—the InduroPro-coated panel still looked new, while the uncoated panel on the same system showed visible rust and surface breakdown. The axle, fully coated during the original application, remained sealed and free of corrosion.

Finally, a direct comparison between an uncoated fire extinguisher bracket on one machine and an InduroPro-coated bracket on another showed stark contrast—the coated bracket remained clean and corrosion-free, while the uncoated part showed early rusting.

BUILT FOR THE LONG RUN

WHY INDUROPRO PERFORMS WHERE CERAMICS DON'T

These results highlight the difference between temporary surface treatments and true equipment protection. Ceramic coatings and wipe-on products are designed for short-term hydrophobicity, not long-term exposure to fertilizer, abrasion, and moisture. They require frequent reapplication and careful maintenance to remain effective.

InduroPro is a ceramicized epoxy investment coating. It chemically bonds to properly prepped surfaces, forming a hard, durable barrier that resists corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure without the need for special soaps or repeat applications. For operators like Farmer Tim, that means fewer rust-related repairs, less downtime, and equipment that holds up season after season. Six months later, the results speak for themselves—InduroPro isn’t a maintenance product. It’s a long-term protection strategy.
