REICHEL & DREWS TO SUPPLY CRODON HARD COAT TO ROOFING INDUSTRY
Itasca, Illinois, May 28, 2003 - Reichel & Drews has been named exclusive distributor of Crodon® Hard Coat to the roofing materials manufacturing industry by Chromium Corporation, the maker of CRODON Hard Coat wear plate.
Crodon Hard Coat is a wear-resistant surfacing technology for use in applications which traditionally require ceramic, abrasion-resistant (AR) plate or chrome. Extensive field experience in asphalt-based roofing material manufacturing plants proved CRODON Hard Coat to last up to six times longer than typical materials and to be faster and easier to install.
"We at Reichel & Drews are confident that CRODON Hard Coat will have a fast return-on-investment for roofing material manufacturers," said John Wiley, Reichel & Drews Product Manager. "Experience in other industries with severe duty applications and our experience in the roofing industry show reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs associated with the product. These areas have direct impact on profit margins."
