Why Use Metalizing?

1. Corrosion Resistance: Metalizing provides a durable barrier against corrosion, extending the lifespan of coated surfaces in various environments.
2. Wear Resistance: It enhances the wear resistance of components, making it suitable for industrial machinery and automotive applications where friction and abrasion are common.
3. Versatility: It can be applied to a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics, making it a versatile coating solution.
4. Complex Geometrics: Compared to some alternative coating methods, this can be a cost-effective solution for achieving robust protective layers. 
5. Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to some alternative coating methods, metalizing can be a cost-effective solution for achieving robust protective layers.
6. Enhanced Conductivity: It can improve the electrical conductivity of surfaces, making it valuable in applications where conductivity is crucial. 
7. Environmental Benefits: Some metalizing processes use materials that are environmentally friendly, contributing to sustainability in certain applications.
8. Minimal Downtime: The process often allows for quick application, minimizing downtime for equipment or structures undergoing coating. 

These advantages make metalizing a preferred choice in industries where durability, protection, and performance are paramount.

Metalizing & Thermal Spray Zinc Coating Services

Long-Term Corrosion Protection for Steel Structures & Infrastructure
Horton Industrial Inc — Precision Arc Spray Metalizing | Call 208-304-0368

Professional Metalizing Services Using the Thermion Precision Arc 4.8

Horton Industrial Inc provides high-performance thermal spray zinc coating (metalizing) using the industry-trusted Thermion Precision Arc 4.8 system.
Our precision arc-spray setup delivers reliable, long-lasting corrosion protection for steel structures, bridges, marine environments, industrial equipment, and infrastructure projects throughout the Northwest and beyond.

We typically apply zinc metalizing using 3/16″ zinc wire, the preferred wire size for heavy-duty structural steel and long-term corrosion protection.

Why Choose Thermal Spray Zinc (Metalizing)?

Metalizing is one of the most durable and cost-effective methods for protecting steel from corrosion — especially in harsh, wet, or coastal environments.
Compared to paint-only systems, zinc thermal spray offers:

✔ Superior corrosion resistance

Zinc metalizing forms a bonded, sacrificial coating that protects steel for decades.

✔ No cure time

The coating is ready for sealer or topcoat application immediately.

✔ Exceptional adhesion

Thermal spray bonds mechanically to properly blasted steel, creating a strong, durable finish.

✔ Ideal for bridges, marine structures, and industrial steel

Perfect for environments with high moisture, salt, or freeze-thaw cycles.
