Protect Your Machine From Rust Damage
When your snow removal equipment is exposed to a mixture of salt and calcium chloride, it can quickly rust and corrode your equipment.
When EquipCoat® is applied to all exterior metal surfaces, including engine compartments, floorboards, and electrical connections, it forms a transparent protective barrier to help prevent chemicals from contacting metals and seeping into electrical connections.
EquipCoat® should be applied behind snow plow blades and all connecting components.
Use EquipCoat® aerosol to treat rust-prone areas or when installing new parts.
EquipCoat® can withstand extreme freezing and hot temperatures, allowing application on engine parts and all exterior surfaces.
