USA: Luvata, the coil and heat exchanger manufacturer, is introducing a certified training and licensee programme for its Insitu spray-applied, corrosion resistant coil coating.
Insitu is a water-based, synthetic flexible polymer coating, engineered specifically to extend the lives of hvacr heat transfer coils and components. The spray-applied coating maintains operating efficiency while reducing maintenance and operating costs and comes with a five year warranty.

When Luvata acquired AST ElectroFin in 2007 it quickly expanded its coil coatings business from just two locations to seven, including the recent ground-breaking on a new location in Ramos, Mexico. The decision to introduce certified licensee locations around the world is designed to meet demand in key coastal locations, such as Hawaii, Aruba, Venezuela and South Africa, where coil corrosion from salty air is more prevalent.

'The rapid growth of our coatings business is simply due to demand for an excellent, high-performing service,' said Luvata CEO John Peter Leesi. 'The opportunity to expand this business further with certified Luvata Insitu applicators will better serve our customers worldwide.'

The status of Luvata's San Leandro location in Northern California will change from a company-owned location to being a licensed-applicator. All other locations will remain company-owned and operated.
