SOLUTIONS: Key Benefits and Properties of Surface Coatings

COATING BENEFITS:

  • Longer Part Life. Extends the performance life of a part and reduces removal man-hours and machine downtime.

  • Improved Part Performance. Improves surface properties by providing release, traction, web tracking, low friction, and wear and corrosion resistance.

  • Improve Machine Efficiency. By eliminating trouble areas the production machine will run with higher efficiency at faster production speeds. Improved web tracking leads to fewer adjustments and a higher quality end product.

  • Improved Cleanability. Parts are easier to clean, which means less downtime for your operation. There will be reduced pressure from mechanical methods such as doctoring and a lower likelihood of damaging or scoring the part surface.

  • Improved Quality. By keeping the surfaces clean and free of residue there will be fewer imperfections in the end product.

  • Improved Safety. Because of their superior release properties, our coatings minimize the need for solvents, reduce operator clean up time, and offer other secondary benefits like noise reduction and elimination of static electricity among others.

  • Forgivingness. Our coatings are tough and withstand wear and tear better than most coatings.

PROPERTIES OF SURFACE COATINGS
  • High Traction: Better traction results in a more consistent product wrap, improved web tracking, etc. (Coatings are also available with combination of traction/release properties.)

  • Excellent Release: Minimize the build-up of residue from manufactured product onto coated production equipment.

  • Cleanable: These coatings are designed to minimize accumulation of residue and product pick-off. Cleaning is quick, easy, and operator friendly.

  • Low Friction: Our custom release coatings decrease drag of product over stationary or guiding parts. They also provide durability and conductivity of static.

  • Corrosion Resistant: Combinations of corrosion resistant matrix materials and impregnants and sealers make an excellent cost effective alternative to designs that utilize fabrication from expensive materials such as stainless steels or Hastelloys®.

  • Wear Resistant: Applications such as ceramics or Tungsten Carbides add substantial wear resistance to coated parts.

  • Restorative: Coatings resalvage worn or mis-machined parts back to a specific size with an equivalent base material.
