Services
Performix Coatings has manufactured flexible protective coatings and paints since 1972. We specialize in high-performance paints and coatings for numerous types of foam substrates, in-mold coatings (IMC), post-mold coatings (PMC), open cell, closed cell, and reticulated foams, as well as HVAC component protection, sporting goods, filtration, military, aerospace, and healthcare products.
Our team provides support through three core services: custom formulations, private labeling, and toll manufacturing. This approach combines our coating formulation expertise with scalable production capabilities under ISO 9001:2015 certification.
Learn how our custom formulations address technical requirements, how private labeling accelerates product line expansion, and how toll manufacturing solves capacity constraints without significant upfront capital investment.
Custom Paints and Coating Formulations
Standard paints and coatings often fail to account for the variables in specialized applications. Substrate, performance requirements, cost, operating temperature ranges, and regulatory compliance all influence formulation chemistry.
At Performix Coatings, we can produce your products using your custom formula and materials, or our product development lab can work directly with your engineering team to develop custom formulations that address your exact requirements.
The process starts with an analysis of your substrate material and performance targets. We test sample formulations against your specifications and refine the chemistry based on real-world feedback. This iterative approach has produced solutions across a wide range of industries and applications, including IMC/PMC, military, aerospace, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, and biocompatible coatings for healthcare products.
Our laboratory specializes in several core technical areas:
Tailored chemistry
We develop formulations for a wide array of preferred substrates.
Standard compliance
Our custom formulations support your compliance requirements according to ISO, EPA, OSHA, NSA, and other standards.
Performance validation
We verify coating
durability under
conditions such as tensile, elongation, tear, abrasion,
impact, hot/cold cycles,
and UV exposure.
Volume scaling
We provide support to move a project from laboratory samples to full production.
Once development concludes, we transition to manufacturing. You receive a coating engineered for your application with documented performance data. For clients with recurring needs, these custom formulations establish a foundation for long-term supply agreements.
Private Label Coating Solutions
Expanding your portfolio with new products typically requires significant upfront capital investment. Private labeling provides an alternative path, allowing you to use our existing formulations and manufacturing infrastructure to market proven, high-quality products under your brand name.
This model benefits manufacturers who want to offer new coatings without building internal production capacity. Based on your needs, we can handle formulation selection, batch production, quality control, and packaging. You maintain control over pricing, market positioning, and customer relationships through our private labeling services.
Our production platform supports various growth strategies:
Product line expansion
You add new products without capital expenditure on in-house equipment and overhead to produce them.
Speed to market
You bypass the lengthy process of developing in-house capabilities.
Certified quality
You gain access to ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing processes.
Scalable orders
We offer flexible quantities that can be changed with market demand.
Our private labeling partnerships work across multiple coating types. Companies have launched lines of our specialty paints and coating products using our production platform. This arrangement provides market flexibility to test new segments without permanent infrastructure investments.
Toll Manufacturing Services
With toll manufacturing, you supply the semi-finished products or raw materials and process specifications, and we follow your specifications using our own equipment, facility, and skilled workforce. We put your formulations into production while you retain complete intellectual property ownership. This gives you production flexibility without the expense of expanding internal capacity.
Quality control follows your protocols, and finished products ship directly to your distribution centers or manufacturing sites. Toll manufacturing fits several operational scenarios, such as bridging the gap between lab trials and full production.
We manage the production cycle through four distinct phases:
Batch production
We follow your formulation specifications and use your raw materials.
Quality documentation
Our team provides records that meet your internal standards.
Custom packaging
We handle labeling and packaging per your guidelines.
Logistics coordination
We ship finished goods directly to your desired locations
Toll manufacturing allows you to focus on product development and market expansion while we handle full production, reducing turnaround times and your in-house production costs.
Industries We Serve
Our coating services support applications across five primary sectors:
Manufacturing
We provide coatings for wrestling mat surfaces, pyramidal absorbers, ESD protection, and HVAC components.
Transportation
Applications include automotive interior components, refinishing products, and electrical connection sealant.
Industrial maintenance
Our coating formulations and services produce hand tool grips, electrical connections, and equipment protection in harsh environments.
Healthcare
Clients rely on our coatings and services for patient positioning equipment, wheelchair seating, and physical therapy products.
Military, Aerospace and Defense
Clients rely on our coatings for ballistic helmet padding, ballistic seating systems, and other defense-related foam applications.
Furniture Manufacturing
We provide coatings for flexible foam used in furniture manufacturing, upholstery, and seating applications.
Specialty applications
We develop protective treatments for glass, rope, and metal substrates.
Each sector introduces distinct technical requirements. Our formulation and manufacturing services adapt to these specifications while maintaining consistent quality standards across all production runs.
FAQs
Minimums vary by service type and coating complexity. Custom projects typically start with sample batches before scaling. Private label and toll arrangements depend on your specific market requirements.
The timeline depends on application complexity. Lead times can range from 5 days to a full year, depending on the sector. The automotive and medical markets typically require the longest lead time, often up to a year.
If a customer has a good understanding of what they need and we have that product in stock, or their lab can build a sample quickly, we can turn an inquiry into a deliverable product in days or weeks, not months or years.
In many cases, yes. We can reverse-engineer performance characteristics and develop equivalent formulations. This requires sample material and detailed performance specifications from your current supplier.
Yes. We offer different IMC paint and coating types that can be customized based on your specific application requirements. Our formulation team works with you to select the appropriate coating chemistry for your substrate, molding process, and performance specifications. Whether you need enhanced durability for automotive interiors or specific texture characteristics for consumer products, we tailor our in-mold coatings to match your product profile and production parameters.
