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.

Lectrofluor® Gives Stainless Steel Condensate Pumps Extra Protection Against Corrosion
When it comes to ensuring the reliability of pharmaceutical manufacturing machinery, mitigating the effects of frequent washdowns and the threat of corrosion are part of the territory. Although stainless steel is a common material for parts and machines throughout the industry thanks to its corrosion resistance, not every stainless steel alloy can resist corrosion when exposed to certain chemicals or conditions.
