5.1 NUKOTE: Introduction and Global Standing
NUKOTE is a global manufacturer of special coating raw materials headquartered in the United States. It develops and supplies industrial coating systems, primarily focusing on ultra-fast curing polyurea.
Selected by Surface Technology Solutions
NUKOTE has been recognized among the Top 10 Surface Technology Solutions in the global surface technology sector and supplies products to over 140 countries worldwide. With over 116 types of special coatings and primers across its Polyurea, Hybrid, and Premium lines, NUKOTE provides materials that address extreme environments such as waterproofing, corrosion protection, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance, all as a single system.
5.2 Exclusive Domestic Distribution Network
HIGHCOATIC is the official exclusive distributor in South Korea, having signed an exclusive distribution agreement with NUKOTE, a U.S. company.
Through this agreement, HIGHCOATIC officially supplies NUKOTE's proven raw materials domestically. Our goal is to meet customer demands by providing the best products and engaging in active technical cooperation. We also focus on advancing the domestic coating industry through continuous research and development of coating technologies and the discovery of advanced techniques.
5.3 Integration with HIGHCOATIC's Proprietary Technology
HIGHCOATIC's competitiveness is not solely built upon NUKOTE's raw materials. We complete our application solutions by combining NUKOTE's proven polyurea raw materials with HIGHCOATIC's proprietary remote coating robot technologies, 360 Ringtech and spincast.
The coating robots 360 Ringtech and spincast, used for internal pipe lining, are not NUKOTE's equipment. They are HIGHCOATIC's self-developed application equipment, designed to remotely and autonomously spray NUKOTE polyurea, ensuring worker safety and uniform quality.
This combination allows us to provide application solutions to various industrial sites, including semiconductor, petrochemical, water and sewage, marine, and defense sectors.
