Prevent premature failure of your coils in corrosive environments with FinKote2.
FinKote2 is a high-edge build e-coating system offering the most advanced corrosion protection for micro-channel, tube and fin coils threatened by coastal and environmental corrosion.
In 2006, Ecoat.US entered the HVAC marketplace with Finkote, providing e-coat protection to evaporator and condenser coils in the geothermal industry. Including a pretreatment, Finkote provided the most advanced and controlled process application in the marketplace.
2010 Ecoat.US built the most extensive HVAC E-coat Process system in the U.S., expanding our process capabilities and designing a system 30’ in length x 8.5’ in height x 3’ in depth.
At this same time, Ecoat.US established an R&D team to reach out and determine the needs of the industry. Expanding process applications and providing coating solutions for the HVAC industry, the Finkote2 family of process applications was underway.
In 2015, continued process developments led to an improved e-coat corrosion process application, Finkote2. Transitioning to Axalta EC-6100, the latest development in e-coat material technology. EC-6100 produces the highest throw power available to ensure coverage to the center of the coil. Tin-free, RoHS compliant, NSF 51/61 certified, EC6100 sets the standard.
With our patented ZNET process anode control technology, the inclusion of a zirconium oxide pretreatment. Finkote2 provides improved fin edge coverage, lower temperature curing, and NSF 51/61 certification. Backed with a six-year warranty, Finkote2 is the premium coastal and environmental corrosion solution.
From 2015 through 2020, we expanded our process applications to include three additional corrosion process applications.
FinkoteZx for extreme chemical resistance is our fastest-growing process application. When working in extreme conditions such as airports, municipalities, and food processing locations, FinkoteZx can handle chemical-rich condensate and harsh working environments.
FinkoteCc is our trivalent conversion coating for mild to moderate environmental conditions. Lower costs with value-added performance allow for a process application capable of meeting over 2100 hours in ASTM G85 A3.
FinkoteAa for field-applied applications to complete our corrosion protection applications. When an uncoated unit enters a corrosive environment, we provide field application products and technical support to the technicians with water-based, EPA-safe materials to protect coils and the internal and external panels of the cabinets.**
FinkoteHp for water distribution is an ever-growing market requirement by changing how condensate water moves on the fin surface. Our hydrophilic and hydrophobic applications will provide reductions in water fouling, condensate chemical cocktail attack on the fin surface, change surface polarity and CoF are many advantages when modifying how airflow moves the condensate water through the system.
FinkoteRx provides the ultimate antimicrobial protection for improved air quality. FinKoteRx reduces the growth and spread of surface germs in various applications. 99% effective against mold, mildew, E. coli, H1N1, and MRSA. Permanently bonds to the surface and attacks the cell membrane to destroy microorganisms.
A patented coating process designed to withstand the world’s most challenging corrosion applications. Engineered for where extreme chemical attacks occur
Including:
Atmospheric industrial pollution contributes to a premature failure of the a/c unit. Corrosion thrives on both the chemical and mechanical aspects of the environment. The most common corrosion agents are acids, alkalis, and salts. FinkoteZx, developed as a multi-layered coating process is designed to withstand the world’s most challenging applications. Facilities located in chemically corrosive environments or industrial process sites are particularly prone to experiencing coil corrosion.
Environments that may contribute to a higher amount of corrosive materials being expelled include:
FinKoteCc is a low-cost, thin-film conversion coating (200-500um) for micro-channel coils.
FinkoteCc Conversion coating for Micro-Channel coils and all Aluminum coils. Outperforms existing trivalent and hexavalent alternatives in corrosion resistance without requiring additional topcoats.
FinkoteCc is a low-cost, thin-film conversion coating (200-500um) for microchannel coils.
The material forms a passive nano-crystalline layer on the surface of the heat exchanger and is effective at extending the life of aluminum alloys in the presence of mild to moderate chloride corrosion. The passive layer arrests the development of oxides when water and salt are on the surface.
FinkoteCc is environmentally safe and superior trivalent chromate alternative to hexavalent chromates. The material provides equivalent or enhanced performance when compared with any other seal coatings including 2000 hours+ SWAAT G85 A3 salt spray results, excellent surface bonding capabilities, superb weld ability.
FinkoteCc outperforms existing trivalent and hexavalent alternatives in wear and corrosion resistance (without requiring additional topcoats), while being more economical in cost per application. With less than 1% thermal transfer loss and less expensive than polymeric coatings, FinkoteCc is an option to consider.

FinKoteAa offers a cost-effective process for units working in the field where coils are experiencing premature failure.
The water-based, non-hazardous formula:
FinKoteAa is a HAPS-free, no VOC, water-based protective coating system designed to meet today’s HVAC corrosion requirements at significant savings over competing products.
FinKoteAa provides a single-component (modified alkyd polymer technology fortified with aluminum) coating system that can be spray-applied or flow-coated onto RTPF or micro-channel coils.
FinKoteAa is designed to air dry @ 1 mil film thickness and can be easily controlled by adjusting viscosity of the material.
FinKoteAa has minimal heat transfer impact (< 3%) and eliminates heat transfer loss due to corrosion.
FinKoteAa is utilized as a field-applied application for raw coils facing early corrosion failures already installed in the field.
