Choose to Flow Coat your transformers for uniform, consistent protection
The USM Flow Coating Story
Choose to Flow Coat your transformers for uniform, consistent protection

Flow Coating is a special process that reaches and protects every transformer radiator tube surfaceProtect all transformer radiator
tube
surfaces
Painting a transformer with a bank of radiator tubes is a difficult task. A standard brush or spray cannot reach behind and around inaccessible areas.  Interior surfaces and backs of tubes are often missed and left unprotected.   The solution is USM Flow Coating; a special process that reaches and protects every radiator tube surface.

Prolong transformer life
Spray painting a transformer leaves the unit only half protected--the tank is protected while the tubes are not.  All unprotected surfaces will continue to rust and deteriorate even though the unit "looks" protected.  Flow Coating covers and protects all transformer surfaces from the elements.

Flow Coating covers and protects all transformer surfacesUniform, consistent protection
Traditional methods of painting transforms result in uneven paint coverage.  Some areas, such as the tube backs, are left unpainted while other surfaces will get too much or too little paint.  USM Flow Coating has the same effect as dipping, assuring uniform, consistent coverage of all transformer surfaces. 

Save your company money
Unprotected or ill-painted transformers breakdown, leak and require more maintenance than Flow Coated units.  USM Flow Coating is an investment that, over time, will save you money.  Choose to Flow Coat your transformers and avoid expensive repair and replacement costs.  

There is no more proven method to protect your transformers.  USM Flow Coating specialists monitor ambient wind, wind velocity, paint viscosity and other critical factors when applying coating to each transformer.  Specify USM Flow Coating for your next transformer painting project.
