A More Sustainable Outlook
In terms of product features, LC Fuel Tank's
surface treatment for its fuel tanks is based on
procuring powdered-coating automated equipment
many years ago. The coating's weather resistance
property and thickness are reputably three times
better than the typical coating. Another feature of the
coating technology is less environmentally harmful
and pollutive. While the equipment costs are still
higher than the standard machinery, LC Fuel Tank
believes the initial prices are worth the long-time value
the equipment offers. Furthermore, they are worth
upholding their commitment to greener choices and
prioritizing employee health. These efforts are highly
recognized and lauded by international buyers.
