Eau Claire, WI (March 18, 2013) – CURT Manufacturing, a leading manufacturer and marketer of top quality towing products, is pleased to announce they’ve improved their receiver hitch finish at their U.S. manufacturing facility by becoming the first company in the market to use Aquence technology (A-coat). A-coat is a revolutionary finish and an award winning green technology.CURT has always used a high-quality powder coat finish that is applied after sending welded hitches through multiple stages, including a shot blast, wash and preparation system. This process results in such a clean surface that CURT can apply an attractive, high-gloss black powder coat. Now, each hitch is also dipped in a liquid A-coat before it receives CURT’s powder coat finish. The two coatings then co-cure together in the finishing oven, providing the most rust and chip resistant hitch available. CURT hitches now contain an opening in the frame allowing the A-coat to cover the hitch from the inside out, further protecting the product from rust and corrosion.
