About Astro Alloys, Inc. Thermal Spray Product Supplier and Powder Distributor
Astro Alloys is dedicated to the thermal spray industry while specializing in HVOF equipment and thermal spray powders. We've been in business since 1980.
We operate from our facility in Houston, Texas. As a thermal spray product supplier and powder distributor, we take care of all things thermal spray for customers across North America and around the globe. We work with engineers and technicians who apply coatings and with maintenance and procurement teams who keep plants running.
Our History in Thermal Spray
Astro Alloys had very humble beginnings in 1980, when our founder, Ken Whited, decided to take a risk and start a business dedicated to thermal spray. More than four decades later, we still focus on this one industry. We've provided quality thermal spray equipment and hands-on service to our customers ever since.
Thermal Spray Experience You Can Lean On
Over forty-five years in this business have taught us what works and what doesn't. Our team knows thermal spray coatings, and we share that knowledge with the engineers and technicians who call us. We help customers choose the right coating for the job, and we offer instruction on thermal spray operation.
We also know what downtime costs. When a system goes down, you lose valuable time and money, so we research your problem and work to find a solution.
Our thermal spray resources library gives engineers and procurement teams MSDS, brochures, and technical specs from our manufacturer partners. You can plan a project using the documents in front of you before placing an order.
