Custom Industrial Coatings for Your Toughest Applications
When standard paint will not hold up, Crossroads Coatings steps in. Since 1952, we have been formulating custom industrial coatings for manufacturers, infrastructure operators, and product designers who need a finish formulated around the real conditions their assets will face: heat, salt, chemicals, abrasion, UV exposure, or a combination of all of these. Our chemists build the coating to the application rather than asking your application to settle for what is on the shelf.
A Coatings Partner for Demanding Industries
Our customers operate in environments where coating failure is not an option.
Pipeline and bridge owners turn to us for corrosion protection that holds up against weather cycling and chemical exposure. OEMs producing BBQ grills, hearth equipment, aerospace components, and other high-heat goods rely on our high-temperature formulations to keep their products looking and performing well through years of use. Specialty developers come to us when they need something genuinely unusual, whether that is a textured finish that mimics tree bark, a protective layer for firehoses, or a low-VOC coating that meets sustainability targets.
That range is possible because we approach every project the same way: as a problem to solve. We help our customers with custom coating formulations by starting with the real-world problem and working backward into the chemistry.
Our Coating Categories
We formulate and manufacture across the full performance range:
Many of our most successful products started as a one-off formulation for a single customer. We pioneered the first water-based high-temperature coating, and we continue to push into new territory whenever a client brings us a problem the existing market cannot solve.
How a Custom Coatings Formulation Comes Together
Every project opens with a conversation about your substrate, your operating environment, and what success looks like in the field. From there, our team runs candidate formulations, tests them against your specs, and iterates until performance hits the mark.
Production stays in-house at our Statesville, North Carolina, facility, keeping batch consistency tight whether you need a small specialty run or steady OEM volume.
That hands-on approach is the point. You walk away with custom industrial coatings designed around your part, your process, and the conditions it will actually see, backed by senior managers carrying a combined century of coatings industry experience.
Let's Talk About Your Project
If you are protecting critical infrastructure, building equipment that runs hot, or developing a product that needs a coating nobody has formulated yet, we want to hear about it. Request a Quote or call us at 1.833.724.6816 to get started.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Industrial Coatings
Do you offer low-VOC or environmentally friendly options?
Yes. Our Green Coatings Technology line covers water-based and low-VOC formulations for facilities with strict air quality requirements or sustainability targets. Most of our high-performance categories are available in greener chemistries without giving up protective qualities.
What is the minimum order quantity for a custom coating?
Minimums depend on formulation complexity and the raw materials involved. We work with customers on small specialty batches as well as ongoing high-volume OEM supply, so the best path is to walk us through your projected volume during quoting.
How long does the formulation and approval process take?
A modification to an existing chemistry can be ready for testing in a few weeks. A fully novel formulation with extensive performance testing may run several months. Timelines depend on testing protocols, any regulatory considerations, and the number of iteration cycles required to meet your specifications.
