Heritage & History
VHT — Very High Temperature — was established in the 1950s in response to demand from the automotive and motorsports industries for coatings that could withstand engine compartment temperatures that destroyed conventional paints. The Warminster, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility has produced specialty coatings for automotive enthusiasts, professional racing teams, and industrial applications for over six decades.
Now a brand within Illinois Tool Works (ITW), VHT continues American production at the Warminster facility. The brand's engineering focus has always been temperature resistance — the flameproof coating line is rated to 2,000°F, meeting the demands of exhaust systems, brake components, and engine parts.
