Advanced coatings

We are constantly developing an expanding range of functional and decorative coatings for a broad variety of applications. The markets we currently serve are

  • automotive and motorsport
  • aerospace
  • defence
  • tool manufacture
  • medical science
  • household hardware
  • sports equipment

If you are seeking to enhance the properties of your materials or protect them under harsh operating conditions, we offer coatings that

  • improve aesthetic appeal
  • improve corrosion resistance
  • improve high temperature performance
  • improve wear resistance
  • reduce friction

Our range of coatings falls into two broad categories - Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) and Sol Gel.
