A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Protective Coatings Technology
Manufacturers, fabricators, and construction companies know the value of working with pre-primed tubing. After ten years of R&D and working with industry specialists, we've developed a revolutionary breakthrough — a unique process that produces a high performance, super-tough, super-thin epoxy powder coat primer.
Ordinary primers are 2 to 4/1000 of an inch thick (2.0 to 4.0 mil). Our new, epoxy powder primer is less than 1/1000 of an inch (0.5 mil) and accepts laser cutting and welding operations.

Cost Savings
EPOX Z KOTE arrives with a clean, ready-to-use surface so you don’t waste valuable shop labor, time and money cleaning your steel tubing.
1) No Embedded Oils or Lubricants to Remove The Atlas Tube EPOX Z KOTE process thoroughly cleans the tubing using a high pressure, high temperature, iron phosphate pretreatment system that removes embedded oils, manufacturing lubricants and debris before EPOX Z KOTE is applied.
2) Cleaning and Prep is Fast and Easy EPOX Z KOTE resists grease, oil, dirt and debris. Surface cleanup is fast and easy.
3) Weld Spatter Doesn’t Stick EPOX Z KOTE produces a tough barrier that prevents weld spatter from sticking.
4) Expensive, Hazardous Chemicals are Eliminated Since EPOX Z KOTE Powder Primed Tubing requires less cleanup, you eliminate expensive, hazardous chemicals and the associated costs of storing, disposal and EPA reporting.
5) Warranty Claims Are Reduced EPOX Z KOTE offers superior performance that prevents rusting and paint failure. It prolongs product life and your hard-earned reputation.
6) Pretreatment Isn’t Required EPOX Z KOTE Tubing doesn’t require shot blasting or phosphate pretreatment
7) Eliminates Rust Removal Avoid using valuable labor and high maintenance machinery to remove rust.
8) EPOX Z KOTE is Laser Friendly Unlike traditional coatings and lacquers, EPOX Z KOTE can be processed in a single pass.
9) No Priming EPOX Z KOTE tubing is fully cured and delivered ready to use.
10) Paint Consumption is Reduced EPOX Z KOTE tubing is available in clear, black, red, gray or custom colors which provide a tinted based coat that helps reduce your top coat film requirements. Paint is expensive; don’t use more than you need.
