With the broadest range of engineered coatings anywhere, we can solve all of your most challenging friction, wear, contamination and release problems.
Featured Applications
Industrial
Our surface-enhancement coatings impart corrosion protection, chemical resistance, super-hardness and dry lubrication to a variety of industrial machines and components.
Food Processing
From extruders to dies to knives, our USDA- and FDA-compliant engineered coatings can eliminate food adhesion, wear and lubricants, which helps keep your food processing equipment running clean.
Packaging
By protecting moving machine components from wear and providing release properties where needed, engineered coatings can drastically reduce packaging machine downtime and increase yields.
Oil and Gas
Our engineered coatings have proven themselves in the most demanding downhole applications, protecting oil and gas tooling from galling, abrasion, impact and corrosion.

Learn How Infused Polymers Give Our Engineered Coatings an Edge
To protect metal surfaces from damage, you have several methods to choose from. Many vendors provide surface enhancement offerings that range from plating to powders to paint-on processes, all of which can offer a fair amount of protection. But one advantage these techniques don’t have is a mechanical bond with the surfaces they’re protecting.
