Technology profile

CrestCoat is the safest, most reliable and cost-effective corrosion protection on the market today. We have eliminated the use of automotive body fillers typically found in the preparation for a liquid paint finish. The ambulance modules are coated with a high bake powder coat finish, adding a superior level or protection and resistance to scratches, bubbling, fading and chipping. While other ambulance manufacturers are experiencing corrosion problems that result in costly downtime, CrestCoat is the trouble-free solution that will significantly improve an ambulances longevity. In addition Crestline ambulance interiors have an antimicrobial interior, called CrestClean, which inhibits the growth of microogranisms and provides a healthy, safe environment for both paramedics and patients.
