Eliminate the difficulty of bonding metal inserts to rotomolded tanks

You can’t just re-melt and reprocess the material. There is a cost associated with a scrap part, and it can’t be recovered. Worse yet, if a tank fails in the field, there’s no telling how much it can cost in damages.

Whether you’re the engineer, production, operations or quality assurance, no company feels comfortable with this kind of product integrity.

At Protek Surface Technologies, we have your rotational molding solutions. We have developed a thermoplastic coating which we can apply to your metal fitting before having it adhere to your roto-molded tanks. This will ensure an optimal bond and eliminate scrap that’s caused by poor plastic-to-metal adhesion.

So, not only can you effectively eliminate scrap from your roto-molded projects, but also you can save on costs as well.

And, if that’s all you need, that’s great. But Protek is one of the many vertically integrated operating companies that works under Nordstern Group. Top to bottom, Nordstern Group can address your metal manufacturing needs, whether it’s casting, tool and die manufacturing, or surface coatings. This means that instead of having your metal fitting manufactured and later sent to Protek so it can be coated, Protek and Nordstern Group can simplify this process for you. We can create your metal fitting to specification and coat the product all in one go.

Of course, you may just have to see it for your own eyes, feel it with your own hands, to know that Protek’s coating works as advertised. If you’re interested to see how our coating can help your business drastically improve product integrity, we can send you some coated samples of your fitting.

Roto-mold manufacturing pain points:

• Disappointed in scrap rates with cross-link (PEX) or nylon tanks (fuel or hydraulic)
• Frustrated because the plant can’t keep up with demand due to leak testing and repair time
• Anxious about the potential for a “field failure” due to fuel-tank leaks
• Disappointed in your current vendor who offers no engineering changes on important quality issues

If any of these roto-molding issues are something your business experiences or can relate to, Protek can help address your concerns. Give us a call or send us an email, and let’s have a chat on how we can help your business.
