The way we work

Supporting the coating specification.

Our products serve different requirements: PTFE for dry lubricity, molybdenum disulfide for sliding interfaces, graphite for thermal applications, and ceramic systems for protective, insulating finishes.

Selection starts with the metal, its preparation and the conditions the part will encounter. Those details determine which product and application information your team needs.

  1. Substrate & preparation

    Identify the metal, existing finish and preparation process. Include anodizing or other treatments specified on the drawing.

  2. Operating conditions

    Describe temperature, load, motion and chemical exposure. Identify whether lubrication, corrosion resistance, heat management or insulation is required.

  3. Specification & finish

    Provide the required standard, coating thickness or fit allowance, and finish. Use the product information and relevant safety data for your review.
