Protecting agricultural and industrial machinery is more than just upkeep — it’s an investment in performance and longevity. InduroPro is a ceramicized-epoxy coating engineered to withstand the toughest environments, from fertilizer-laden fields to corrosive industrial sites.
This FAQ page answers the most common questions about InduroPro, including how it works, how long it lasts, and why it’s the smarter alternative to standard coatings and repainting. Whether you run a farm, a fleet, or an industrial operation, these answers will help you understand how InduroPro can reduce downtime, extend service life, and maximize your return on investment.
understanding induropro
What is InduroPro and why is it ideal for agricultural and industrial equipment?
InduroPro is a ceramicized-epoxy coating that protects farm and industrial machinery from corrosion, chemicals, and wear.
Unlike standard paints, InduroPro bonds chemically to surfaces, creating a durable ceramic-reinforced epoxy shield. It resists abrasion, rust, fertilizers, and UV damage, extending the life of tractors, harvesters, construction, and industrial equipment even in harsh environments.
How is InduroPro different from ceramic coatings or repainting?
InduroPro lasts longer than ceramic coatings and outperforms basic repainting.
Many ceramic coatings are silica-based and offer only surface-level protection, while repainting adds color but chips quickly. InduroPro’s ceramicized-epoxy matrix bonds deeply, offering years of heavy-duty protection, reduced downtime, and less frequent reapplications.
Why is InduroPro more expensive than regular coatings, and is it worth the cost?
InduroPro is an investment coating that saves money long term by reducing repairs and downtime.
Though pricier upfront, InduroPro protects equipment for up to five years, lowering maintenance costs and extending resale value. By minimizing repaint cycles and keeping machines in service longer, it delivers a strong ROI for farms and industrial operators.
durability & lifespan
How long does InduroPro last under real working conditions?
InduroPro can last up to 5 years in moderate conditions.
With proper prep and maintenance, InduroPro provides multi-year protection against corrosion and chemical damage. In heavy-use or extreme environments, its lifespan may shorten, but most operators see reliable service for 4–5 years.
DO I NEED TO REAPPLY INDUROPRO? IF SO, WHEN?
Yes — check high-wear areas regularly and reapply when gloss, water repellency, or protection begins to fade.
Reapplication is typically required every 4–5 years under moderate use. Annual inspections ensure you catch wear early, and touch-up recoats help extend performance without needing a full strip and repaint.
Can damaged areas of InduroPro be spot-repaired, or must the entire machine be recoated?
InduroPro can be spot-repaired without full recoating.
Chips and scratches can be sanded, cleaned, and recoated locally. This allows operators to maintain full surface protection cost-effectively without removing or reapplying the entire coating.
application & process
How should I apply InduroPro to large farm or industrial machinery?
Clean, scuff, solvent-wipe, then spray or roll a thin even coat.
Clean thoroughly — remove grease, oil, scale, rust, and old coatings.
Use a wire wheel to remove rusted areas and achieve a clean, solid surface for coating.
Wipe with solvent (use denatured alcohol on painted surfaces, acetone or xylene on bare metals) to remove residue.
Mix the two parts of InduroPro to the correct ratio.
Apply via spray gun, or roller and tipping brush, in thin even coats.
“Tip off” or brush lightly to smooth the surface if needed.
Allow full cure (typically ~24 hours before light handling, longer for full hardness) before putting equipment into use.
How long does InduroPro take to dry and fully cure under variable conditions?
Dry to touch in 2–4 hours, full cure in 24–72 hours.
Cure time depends on humidity, temperature, and film thickness. While light handling may be possible after one day, full chemical and abrasion resistance is reached after two to three days.
Ensure that surface temperature during application does not exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can InduroPro be applied on-site (in the field) or only in shop settings?
Yes — it can be applied in the field if conditions are controlled.
InduroPro is versatile for shop or field applications. However, temperature, humidity, and dust must be managed carefully, and proper PPE and masking are required to ensure long-lasting results.
PROTECTION AND PERFORMANCE
Can I apply InduroPro over painted or composite surfaces?
Yes, InduroPro bonds to metal, paint, and composites with proper prep.
It is compatible with bare steel, aluminum, OEM paint, and other hard surfaces. Surface scuffing and solvent cleaning ensure chemical bonding and strong adhesion across substrates.
Will InduroPro resist chemicals, fertilizers, and harsh environments?
Yes — it resists fertilizers, acids, alkalis, and solvents.
InduroPro’s ceramicized-epoxy chemistry is engineered for agriculture and industry, where chemical spills and fertilizer contact are common. It prevents breakdown from corrosive agents that typically ruin painted equipment. When heavy-duty cleaning is required, InduroPro will withstand harsh acid cleaners and even pure muriatic acid without failing.
Does InduroPro repel water and reduce rust on outdoor equipment?
Yes — it’s hydrophobic and protects against rust.
InduroPro sheds water, mud, and contaminants, helping reduce oxidation and corrosion in outdoor storage. It’s particularly effective at preventing freeze-thaw and standing water damage.
How does InduroPro perform in high-UV or high-temperature environments?
It resists UV fading and maintains integrity under heat.
InduroPro’s reinforced epoxy matrix withstands long hours of sun exposure and elevated operating temperatures. Unlike standard coatings, it won’t chalk, fade, or break down quickly.
What thickness of InduroPro should I apply for maximum protection?
Apply a single coat. InduroPro applies at 1-2 mil wet film thickness.
After curing, this yields about a 1 mil dry film thickness. Thicker applications can cause sagging, so following application and manufacturer guidelines ensures optimal performance.
maintenance and upkeep
What maintenance is needed after applying InduroPro?
Wash regularly and inspect for chips or wear.
Use mild detergents and rinse off mud or chemicals promptly. Avoid harsh solvents, and spot-repair as needed to keep full protection in place.
How often should I inspect equipment coated with InduroPro?
At least once per year.
Annual inspections let you check for gloss loss, water repellency, or surface damage. Catching early wear reduces the need for full reapplication and keeps equipment protected longer.
Safety, warranty, and Support
Is InduroPro environmentally friendly, safe, or low in VOCs?
Yes — InduroPro is low-VOC and safer than many coatings.
Its advanced formula balances industrial durability with environmental safety. While proper PPE is required during application, InduroPro meets or exceeds low-VOC and environmental standards.
What type of warranty, guarantee, or technical support is offered with InduroPro?
InduroPro comes with a 3-year product warranty against delamination and separation.
InduroPro is backed by a manufacturer warranty of up to 3 years, covering product failures such as delamination or separation when properly applied. Please note this warranty does not cover high-wear areas that naturally see heavy abrasion. In addition to warranty protection, our team provides application guides, technical support, and training resources to ensure operators achieve the best results.
