Coatings That Help Fans and Blowers Last Longer and Look Better
Industrial fan and blower finishes are protective coatings applied to interior and exterior surfaces. With the right coating system and application method, finishes can improve both durability and appearance.
The primary role of a coating is protection, helping resist corrosion and stand up to heat, flame exposure, abrasion from particles, and harsh operating conditions. Finish selection can also support branding and presentation when the fan is visible as part of a larger system. Whatever your requirements, AirPro has deep experience with custom coatings and finishes and can recommend the right approach for your application.
Our Industrial Coatings and Custom Finishes
Custom finishes are important to us because we build our products with care and want them to be coated properly to deliver long life to you and perform well. We use a variety of enamels, specialty paints, and other custom linings to increase the life of your industrial equipment.
Our standard industrial primer and enamel will protect your fans in a general industrial environment. Other finishes and linings offer protection for specialized environments, such as high temperature, corrosive, abrasive, and food grade applications. when dust, fibers, gases, vapors, or liquids could cause an explosion in the case of any kind of spark.

Primary Industrial Finishes for Centrifugal Fans
Wet paints: Industrial coating for general industrial environments. There are options for high temperature, food grade, and other custom requirements.
- Enamel: Often specified for high or volatile temperature and waterproofing applications, enamel paint can be oil-based, water-based, or latex-based
- Epoxy: Epoxy wet paint industrial coatings are resin-based, and produce a chemical and solvent-resistant finish to protect against water, alkali, and acids
- Polyurethane: A single-coat system for steel and aluminum surfaces, polyurethanes provide chemical, impact, and abrasion resistance
Surface cleaning: Sometimes an application calls for material to be removed rather than added and we can accommodate for this as well.
- Color clean: When it is preferred to clean stainless welds and leave the stainless uncoated
- Near white blast: This process removes all residue from the metal surface leaving only the base metal to prevent corrosion on corrosive resistant alloys
- Polish: When more precision finishes are required, we can accommodate food grade type alloy polish
Special linings: Generally applied to the fan interior for added protection from corrosive and abrasive materials.
- Rubber: A tough elastic polymeric material that coats the inside of containers to prevent corrosion
- Ceramic tile: Wear-resistant, fire-resistant, anti-corrosion, non-oxidizing, ceramic linings effectively prolong the service life of the equipment
- Teflon: Teflon industrial liners protect equipment in harsh, high-heat applications. Most Teflon coatings for industrial use require a primer coat
Powder coating: Economical, long-lasting, and available on virtually any type of metal, powder coated finishes are resistant to damage from impact, moisture, and chemicals.
Other custom coatings are available – just ask an application engineer!
We highly recommend discussing your finish and coating concerns with our application engineering group. There may be important factors you may want to consider before selecting a fan for your application.
