I have gotten a couple of requests for trying to protect coils in some harsh environments. The best way to do this is to have the manufacture produce the product with a coil protectant. That way the coil is professionally applied. The problem is that we have equipment that the option for a coil like that is not available.

Protecting Coils in Harsh Environments

When it comes to protecting HVAC coils in challenging environments, the best solution is to have the manufacturer apply a professional coil protectant during production. Factory-applied coatings ensure even coverage and lasting protection. However, this option isn't always available for certain equipment models.
