AP1 CONVERSION COATING

Clean. Prep. Convert. All in One Step.

The fastest way to prepare blasted metal for paint, powder coat, or finishing.

AP1 Conversion Coating simplifies metal preparation by combining cleaning and surface conversion in a single step. Instead of running multiple chemicals and prep stages, AP1 removes contaminants while leaving behind a microscopic conversion layer that improves coating adhesion and corrosion resistance.

That means better results with less time, fewer products, and a more reliable surface before finishing.

Why Metal Prep Matters

Blasting removes rust, scale, and coatings — but it also leaves bare metal vulnerable.

Without proper preparation:

* coatings may fail

* paint adhesion can suffer

* corrosion can return quickly

AP1 solves this by cleaning and chemically preparing the surface at the same time, creating the ideal foundation for finishing.
