Leading manufacturers, fabricators, and construction companies know the value of working with pre-primed tubing. Atlas Tube now introduces EPOX Z KOTE® Powder Primed Tubing, a revolutionary breakthrough in protective coatings technology. After ten years of R & D and working with industry specialists, we have developed 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). This new, epoxy powder primer is less than 1/1000 of an inch (0.5 mil) and accepts laser cutting and welding operations. One of the unique benefits of EPOX Z KOTE Tubing is the ability to weld directly through the coating without any special preparation. No need for special breathing apparatus. No weld spatter to clean up. EPOX Z KOTE Powder Primed Tubing is delivered ready to use.

EPOX Z KOTE has passed the test of time and grueling real world testing too.

We coated tubing with EPOX Z KOTE and left it outside for six months through a Chicago winter. The result -no rust!

We hauled EPOX Z KOTE tube over 5,000 miles across the country through rainstorms, road salt, car washes and highway vibration. The result -no adverse effect on the primer!

We contracted an independent laboratory to perform a 1,000 hour salt spray test. The result -no deterioration.

To test toughness and flexibility, we bent EPOX Z KOTE tubing 90º. The result -no cracking or flaking.

Can your primer stand up to this abuse? Atlas Tube is so confident in our new primer technology "we guarantee EPOX Z KOTE Powder Primed Tubing to be rust free". Avoid using valuable labor and machinery to remove rust!
