“A long lasting coating that is well worth the value and durability”

Porcelain Enamel

What is Porcelain Enamel...

Porcelain enamel offers a long lasting durable coating on metal substrates. Wet enamel is sprayed on the part and then cured at high temperatures resulting in a hard, resistant glass surface. Porcelain enamel ranks on Mohs hardness scale close to glass with a typical hardness of 3.5-6.

Porcelain enamel is a durable coating that can be used as a lower cost solution to stainless steel. By replacing your current base metal with a more inexpensive steel or aluminum, you can keep the same performance for a reduced cost. The porcelain enamel also extends the life and increases the maximum heating temperature of the metal. The strong adhesion properties of porcelain enamel keeps exposed edges from flaking.


Porcelain enamel allows for a variety of surface textures:
-High gloss with high lubricity
-Small grit (used on chalkboards)
-Larger stipple for lower lubricity


Porcelain enamel comes in a wide variety of production color options. We have the capabilites and equipment to match and produce your specific color needs in 5 to 100 gallon capacity.

What we do...

Porcelain enamel is a versatile coating that can be applied to any steel or aluminum substrate. American Trim applies the enamel coating using an electrostatic method for a smooth and uniform finish. With virtually unlimited production color options supplied through our mill room, we can match or produce your color in 5 to 100 gallon capacity.

Porcelain enamel allows for a variety of surface textures:
  • High gloss with high lubricity
  • Small grit (used on chalkboards)
  • Larger stipple for lower lubricity


The coating thickness that you use relies solely on the purpose of your product. A thin layer of porcelain enamel from 1-5 mils allows:
  • Less brittle with more flexibility
  • Greater chip resistance
  • Good heat conductivity
  • Ability to withstand extreme temperature changes


A thicker layer of porcelain enamel reduces flexibility and resistance to stress, but is able to hold up against chemical wear and abrasion longer. The thicker coating also has better electrical properties.
  • Long lasting finish
  • High or low gloss
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Sanitary finish resists odor and bacteria
  • Variety of colors
  • Scratch and abrasion resistance
  • More enviromentally friendly process because it uses no solvents
