Automotive OEM Coatings That Protect Your Reputation

In 1972, Sandstrom partnered with a major domestic automobile supplier to formulate and produce gasket coatings. Later Sandstrom partnered with an automotive manufacturer to design a friction-reducing material for use on gas engine pistons. Then in 1984, a second domestic supplier chose Sandstrom to formulate and provide a product to inhibit corrosion on a major starter assembly part. Why so much history? Sandstrom continues to update formulations on many of those original products. And you can count on us to get you just about every type of gasket or other automotive parts coating you can imagine—everything from piston skirts to sound deadeners to wire coating. Let us know what you need. We’ll take care of the rest.

Automotive gasket coating and piston skirt coating products are sold by manufacturer’s batch size only.

Series B705 Neoprene Phenolic Adhesive is an adhesive designed to laminate paper to paper, paper to phenolic and paper to metal. B705 can be “B” staged (force dried until the surface is dry but at a temperature that is not too hot to cause curing, such as 250° – 280°F) and then hot roll laminated or hot pressed.

Heat Resistant Coating (L277) is a single component inorganic waterborne system. This heat cured coating may be applied to a wide variety of metal substrates to offer resistance to high heat, friction, wear, galling and seizing.

Furthermore, L277 is formulated for extreme environments where temperature, nuclear radiation and vacuum preclude the use of organic materials.

Sandstrom 28A is used more than any other Sandstrom product by the U.S. Department of Defense due to the excellent corrosion resistance and load carrying capacity it offers for convenient and practical in-field application.

28A is listed on the United States’ Deptartment of Defense QPL for MIL-L-23398 Types I & II, NATO Code S-749 and QPL for MIL-PRF-46147 Type I Color 1 Forms 1 & 2.

Sandstrom 28A SFL is a lacquer-like coating containing molybdenum disulfide and corrosion inhibiting pigments. This air drying material prevents corrosion, galling, seizing and fretting. It is a low-friction coating that exhibits long wear life when operated at -320°F to +300°F under loads exceeding 100,000 psi. Sandstrom 28A should be applied where baking with the longer wearing, heat cured #099, Sandstrom 9A or LC-300 is not desirable or practical. 

Once 28A has been applied to a properly prepared surface and allowed to cure, it is virtually unaffected by atmospheric and fretting corrosion, acids, oils and degreasers. Sandstrom 28A can be applied to all metallic and non-metallic surfaces by spray application.

Offered in bulk dispersion, aerosol cans or marker pens (now includes a brush tip), Sandstrom 28A is toxic heavy metals and HAP-solvent free. *See Technical Data Sheet for more details.
