Types of Coatings

Thermal Spray Technologies offers a range of different thermal sprayed coatings, and we will work with you to find the right coating solution for your requirements. Our expertise in the field enables us to engineer the perfect coating for nearly any application. There are multiple types of thermal spray coatings, and Thermal Spray Technologies can apply any of them to your parts, components, structures, and equipment as needed. We offer:

Wear Resistant Coatings: There are any number of factors that can cause excess wear and tear, but the right thermal coating can reduce or even eliminate the effects of these wear factors. Nearly all metals, some plastics, and advanced materials such as carbon fiber composites can all be effectively coated against wear. Thermal Spray Technologies provides thermal sprayed wear resistant coatings utilizing an array of coating materials.

Hard Chrome Replacement: Hard chrome plating is becoming increasingly expensive, due to occupational and environmental regulations. Thermal Spray Technologies offers a number of alternatives that are not only environmentally and occupationally safe, but also outperform actual hard chrome plating in many ways. Our hard chrome replacement thermal sprayed coatings will give you all the benefits of true chrome, with none of the hazards.

Corrosion Protection: Corrosion can attack structures and components in many different ways, including salt water spray, environmental exposure, and, of course, rust. Our materials engineers will create a thermal sprayed coating solution that is specifically designed to combat the corrosive factors your components or structures face. Thermal Sprayed Technologies' corrosion protection coatings provide long term protection.

Electrically Conductive: Thermal Spray Technologies can provide thermal sprayed coatings that offer different degrees of electrical conductivity. Our knowledge of materials engineering allows us to work with a range of materials, including unique alloys, that can be used as conductors or semi-conductors for specialized applications. Our electrically conductive coatings can be applied to polymers, composites, ceramics, and more.

Dielectric Coatings: A properly engineered and applied dielectric thermal spray coating can solve even the most complex electrical problems. Our capacity to apply an almost unlimited array of materials enables us to provide coatings for high and low voltage applications over the range of DC to RF. Thermal Spray Technologies' dielectric coatings can be used to safely insulate nearly all substrate materials.

EMI/RFI Shielding: The increasingly high-tech, plugged-in world we live in has lead to a greater need to sensitive electronics from unwanted and potentially harmful electromagnetic radiation. Thermal Spray Technologies can protect your electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) with specially engineered EMI/RFI shielding coatings.

Thermal Barrier: Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) enable components to function safely and efficiently at higher temperatures than the materials from which they're made can normally withstand. With the right TBC, aircraft turbine engines, heavy equipment pistons, and many other components can be effectively shielded from high temperatures. Thermal Spray Technologies' thermal barrier coatings can be applied to nearly any substrate material.
