Tectyl protective coatings are formulated in a variety of product films from thin, clear coatings and heavy duty wax, to black bituminous products. The Tectyl products are available in solvent and water based formulations. Waterborne formulations perform in conditions where high solvent content products are not permitted for health and safety reasons.

Tectyl protective coatings include a sound dampening product line called V-Damp. V-Damp is a product line of viscoelastic, sprayable liquid sound dampeners with applications in various industries where metal vibrations need to be reduced. Whether it is anti-corrosion or sound dampening, Tectyl protective coatings are globally recognized in industries where proven rust prevention is required. These industries include passenger car OEM, truck and bus OEM, railway, military, spare parts, container, power generation and general industrial metal-working or steel fabricating.

Here at Intercon Truck, we offer Tectyl 3344. This is a Black zero VOC, air-dry, waterborne corrosion preventive coating for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Tectyl 3344 Black is formulated to provide excellent adhesion, hardness and durability to most substrates including primers, e-coat and oily steel; additionally, it’s designed to resist chipping, scratches and gravel marks normally seen on truck and trailer underbodies. Tectyl 3344 can be recoated with most urethane, acrylic or alkyd resin formulated automotive topcoats.

Intercon Truck of Baltimore is now a prime location for you to load up on Brine, a liquid method of de-icing which is more cost-effective and less destructive to surfaces in the long term. For those relatively unfamiliar with using liquid de-icing, here’s a quick rundown:

1. Pre-treating parking lots, sidewalks, and parking structures with liquid brine before snow falls will help prevent mild accumulation and, more importantly, prevent the bond of snow/ice to the pavement. This allows easier removal of snow/ice via conventional means (plows and shovels) and means you will need much less salt afterwards.
2. Pre-treating and post-treating with brine offers many benefits, including savings on the cost of application, compared to salt. Not to mention, with the right control systems, you could automatically adjust the flow rate of the brine solution, applying the correct amount of product regardless of speed.
3. Liquids offer much better consistency, accuracy, and adaptability, while mitigating or eliminating the use of chlorides found in salt. Many new sites around the US and Canada are already setting chloride-free standards.
4. Brine treatment benefits include: leaving parking lots and other surfaces clean of salt residue, getting areas snow/ice-free much quicker, doesn’t ride customers’ soles into facilities, lower environmental impact, and more.

Intercon Truck Equipment is a licensed distributor of high-quality hydraulic component manufacturers.

Hydraulic hoses are specifically designed to carry hydraulic fluid to or among hydraulic components, valves, actuators, and tools. They are usually flexible, reinforced, and made with several layers of reinforcement since hydraulic systems frequently operate at high pressures. Dimensions, performance specifications, construction options, and features are important parameters to consider when searching for any hydraulic hose.

Important dimensions for the selection of hydraulic hose include the inside diameter, outside diameter, and minimum bend radius. Hydraulic hose sizes are denoted by the inside and outside diameter of the hose. The inside diameter refers to the inside of the hose or liner. The outside diameter is often a nominal specification for hoses of corrugated or pleated construction. Minimum bend radius is based on a combination of acceptable hose cross-section deformation and mechanical bending limit of any reinforcement.

Construction options for hydraulic hoses include:

As mentioned before, we are distributors for many manufacturers of hoses and fittings, for hydraulic systems, compressors, or any other commercial applications. Here at Intercon Truck, we can also make hoses suited specifically to your needs. Request a quote below, and be sure to note what you need the hose for, what type of fittings or reinforcements you would need it to have, and any other relevant information.

Spray-In Bedliners provide the ultimate protection for truck or trailer. The high performance comes from its combination of high physical properties, abrasion resistant, and complete waterproofing. Spray-In bed liners are continuous, monolithic membranes that do not have seams and cannot leak. They are peel, crack, flake or chip resistant – they are bonded to the steel to provide perfect corrosion protection. Spray-In bed-liners also have a unique stipple finish that looks great and prevents cargo from sliding around in the truck bed. To learn more, click Learn More below.

Nothing cripples a jobsite like a broken machine. When it comes to fixing broken steel, there are three steps:

• Cutting and removal of the failed component
• Preparation of the new joint/part
• Welding and cleanup

Removal of the damaged metal can be done with oxy-fuel, plasma cutting or carbon arc gouging. Oxy-fuel and plasma are typically better for cutting through metal, whereas carbon arc gouging is better for gouging out a crack or defect without completely severing the part.

Oxy-fuel torches are one of the most common tools for cutting and are found on most service trucks. Plasma cutters, however, produce a smaller kerf (cut width), a smaller heat affected zone (HAZ), and are typically faster than oxy-fuel torches. Plasma cutters also cut through all electrically-conductive metals, whereas oxy-fuel won’t cut through aluminum or stainless steel.

Carbon arc-gouging is another option when using welding generators with 250 to 500 amps of output and a high duty cycle. This process uses a carbon electrode to melt the defective area, and blast away molten metal with a focused, high-pressure stream of air.
