Vehicle Systems Receive New and Improved Corrosion-Resistant Paint

By introducing this more corrosion-resistant primer, customers will benefit from a better, longer-lasting product at the same price. We’ve seen the effects of agent cylinder corrosion on these vehicle systems ourselves, and it has motivated us to innovate and create a solution to fulfill this need. While there’s not a noticeable physical difference in the agent cylinders, their lifespan will be substantially improved. Once applied to the cylinder, the zinc-based primer adheres in the paint oven at our production plant, resulting in a more corrosion-resistant paint finish. Development of the new paint process began more than a year ago, and since then, Amerex has spent thousands of hours researching and testing it. These agent cylinders have undergone strenuous testing and are ready to serve our customers in the field. Improving the longevity of our vehicle system extinguishers reinforces the Amerex mission to serve, innovate and constantly improve the quality of our products. Vehicle fire suppression systems are vital to the mass transit, mining, forestry, agriculture and waste management industries. The ever-present dangers make having the proper fire system on the vehicle so important. Learn more about our vehicle systems here.
