Treatments

Anodising

Sulphuric Anodising & Dyeing

This form of anodising is mainly used for its anti-corrosive properties and is typically 10 – 15µm thick. This finish is can be either clear or we can offer a range of colours giving a more decorative look.

Anodising of Titanium

Used solely on Titanium alloys, by converting a thin surface layer of the titanium to titanium dioxide creates a coating that can be used with solid lubricants for the protection of fasteners against galling and will also protect less noble metals from galvanic corrosion when in contact with titanium. The coating is not highly abrasion resistant.

Hard Sulphuric Anodising & Dyeing (Suspended until further notice)

Hard anodising is typically used for wear resistance, corrosion protection and for thermal or electrical insulation hence it can have a thickness between 25 to 50µm thick.

Chromic Anodising

This treatment, due to its thin layer of 1–2µm thickness, it typically used for its anti-corrosion properties with minimal loss of metal section and as a pre-treatment for paint application. The process can also be used for the treatment of riveted and other assembled parts where no risk of corrosion due to entrapped electrolyte can be tolerated.

Alocrom 1200

Alocrom is used to provide levels of corrosion protection, electrical conductivity and paint adhesion.

Etch Primer

With our highly trained and experience team we are able to offer many aerospace and defence standard paint schemes.

Etch Primer is a paint that is designed to physically bond itself to the substrate to which it is applied. This is achieved by combining an acid with the paint so that the acid microscopically etches the surface of the substrate, thus forming a physical and chemical bond between the two.

Epoxy Primer

With our highly trained and experience team we are able to offer many aerospace and defence standard paint schemes.

Epoxy primers have excellent adhesion properties and will stick to bare metal, paints, primers and fillers. E

Epoxy Finishes

With our highly trained and experience team we are able to offer many aerospace and defence standard paint schemes.

Epoxy paints provide extremely tough and durable finish

Polyurethane Finishes

With our highly trained and experience team we are able to offer many aerospace and defence standard paint schemes.

Polyurethane paint is a hard-wearing, highly-resistant coating. It is a reaction polymer, a combination of a polyol resin and an isocyanate hardener or curing agent.

Rockhard Varnish

With our highly trained and experience team we are able to offer many aerospace and defence standard paint schemes.

Dry Film Lubricants

We use Molybdenum Disulphide as a dry film lubricant within our processes, providing low friction, high load bearing, chemical, abrasion and corrosion resistance.
