Houston Plating & Coatings (HP&C), a Houston-based provider of corrosion prevention services, has been awarded the first Houston-area license for InnerArmor™, a new, proprietary interior coating process developed by Pleasanton, California–based Sub-One Technology.
According to Bill Howard, CEO of HP&C, “InnerArmor is a remarkable new patented process that applies a diamond-hard coating to the internal surfaces of a variety of components. Tests have shown it to be a significant technological breakthrough - putting a hard, ultrasmooth, corrosion-stopping surface on the interiors of everything from small precision components to industrial piping. We are delighted to have been awarded this license to become the sole InnerArmor™ service provider for the Houston market as it is absolutely consistent with our mission to be a one-stop shop for all our customers’ corrosion prevention needs.”
The InnerArmor technology uses hollow cathode plasma immersion ion processing, which requires special application equipment. Installation and calibration of the InnerArmor production equipment at HP&C’s plant in South Houston was completed in September, and volume production began in November.
“We selected Houston Plating & Coatings as our licensed coating provider because of its unique customer service model, broad range of services and in-depth technical knowledge. They impressed us with their forward-thinking approach and their customer-driven mentality,” said Andrew Tudhope, president of Sub-One Technology. “We are confident HP&C will be an extremely valuable partner in delivering InnerArmor to the oil and gas industry and beyond.”
