Anthony Liftgates adds corrosion protection

June 21, 2012

Anthony Liftgates has switched from a powder coat process to a new system of corrosion protection on all its liftgates. PRP Industries’ PRP metal polymerization system (PRP MP) is designed for extreme conditions.

PRP MP is a proprietary multi-step chemical process that creates a molecular bond between a co-polymer and the base metal, providing corrosion protection against magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, as well as, rock chipping, acid rain, and extreme temperatures, Anthony Liftgates said.

“In our continual pursuit to provide outstanding, durable, and aesthetically pleasing products, we were willing to make the investment to provide our customers excellent value,” said Tom Walker, president. 

“Fleets and leasing companies are trying to get increasingly longer life cycles on their equipment, and they keep trying different products and systems. I went with a proven system that’s been around for a long time. With the Alternative to Galvanizing corrosion protection process, we expect to double equipment lifecycles and have enhanced aesthetics without spending a fortune.”
