PROTECTING ASSETS BUILT FOR THE FIELD

INDUROPRO SAFEGUARDS RENTAL PUMPS ACROSS TEXAS

Thomas Oil Field Services supplies water transfer pumps that operate in some of the toughest conditions across Texas. With machines constantly exposed to moisture, dirt, chemicals, and transport-related wear, long-term surface protection is critical to keeping assets in service and generating revenue. Thomas Oil Field Services partnered with InduroPro to coat one of their water transfer pumps as a proof of concept for protecting their rental fleet.

Prior to application, the pump was thoroughly cleaned and any existing rust was mechanically removed using a wire wheel. Once properly prepared, InduroPro was applied to create a durable ceramicized epoxy barrier designed to protect painted and metal surfaces from rust, corrosion, and environmental degradation as the equipment is rented out job after job.

PREPARATION SETS THE STANDARD

CLEANING AND RUST REMOVAL BEFORE APPLICATION

Proper surface preparation is a critical first step before applying InduroPro to equipment.

Any existing rust was removed using a wire wheel, and the machine was fully cleaned to eliminate dirt, oil, and residue. InduroPro is not a rust remover, which is why addressing corrosion beforehand ensures the coating can bond correctly and deliver long-term protection once the pump returns to service.

PROTECTION BUILT FOR RENTAL EQUIPMENT

DESIGNED TO PERFORM IN HARSH TEXAS CONDITIONS

Water transfer pumps in oil field operations face constant exposure to moisture, abrasive debris, chemicals, and temperature extremes. InduroPro was applied to protect the pump’s painted and exposed metal surfaces, creating a hard, sealed finish that resists corrosion and surface degradation. This protection is especially important for rental equipment that moves frequently between jobsites and operators, where consistent maintenance can be difficult to control.

INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT PROTECTION

PROTECTING A WATER TRANSFER PUMP FROM CORROSION AND JOBSITE WEAR

This water transfer pump in Cedar Park, Texas was less than 2 years old but already showing early signs of wear at metal stress points and across the painted chassis. Operating in demanding industrial conditions — constant vibration, chemical exposure, moisture, and UV — the pump's factory finish was losing its ability to protect the underlying metal.

The InduroPro team applied ceramicized epoxy coating across the full painted chassis and all metal stress points using 2 × 17 oz kits. The focus was on both the visible panels and the structural connection points where vibration and stress create micro-cracks in paint that become entry points for moisture and corrosion.

Industrial pumps face a unique combination of stresses that standard paint isn't designed to handle. Constant mechanical vibration loosens paint adhesion over time. Chemical exposure from the fluids being transferred attacks the finish from the outside. UV radiation from outdoor operation fades and degrades the coating. And moisture — both from the operating environment and from the pump itself — accelerates corrosion at every unprotected surface.

InduroPro's ceramicized epoxy bonds directly to the existing painted surface, reinforcing the factory finish rather than replacing it. The hard-shell barrier absorbs vibration stress, resists chemical contact, blocks UV degradation, and seals out moisture at the stress points that fail first.

For industrial operators running pumps, compressors, generators, and similar equipment in exposed outdoor environments, InduroPro offers a protective coating that extends the operational life of the factory finish — reducing maintenance costs and keeping equipment protected throughout its service life.

LONG-TERM RELIABILITY FOR RENTAL FLEETS

INDUROPRO AS AN ASSET PROTECTION STRATEGY

By coating this water transfer pump with InduroPro, Thomas Oil Field Services took a proactive approach to protecting their rental equipment before damage escalates. The ceramicized epoxy coating forms a durable barrier that shields against rust, corrosion, UV exposure, and surface wear—helping pumps stay cleaner and easier to maintain between rentals.

InduroPro is not a wax or wipe-on ceramic coating. It is a semi-permanent investment coating designed for industrial equipment operating in demanding environments. For Thomas Oil Field Services, this means fewer corrosion-related repairs, reduced downtime, and stronger asset protection as pumps are rented across Texas. The result is equipment that stays in service longer and continues to perform reliably in the field.
