“Avoid the wearing away of parts and equipment due to chemical reactions through the use of corrosion protection coatings.” Studies indicate the total cost of corrosion issues in the United States alone is in excess of $276 Billion Dollars!
Corrosion is an electrochemical process in which a metal reacts with its environment to form an oxide or other compound. The cell which causes this corrosion process has three essential constituents: an anode, a cathode and an electrolyte (electrically conducting solution). The corrosion process can also be further complicated by the mixture of harmful chemicals and solvents used during various manufacturing processes. Corrosion can be present in a process in different ways: as a ...
“Avoid the wearing away of parts and equipment due to mechanical or contact related forces.”
From Mining, Pulp and Paper, Converting, Chemical, Oil and Gas, even in the Medical Industries parts wear due to exposure to numerous types of wear; abrasion erosion, fretting, adhesive wear, fatigue and combinations of multiple wear.
One of the biggest advantages of Wear and Abrasion coating is the wide range of substrates that can accept these coatings. This allows the user to design equipment made of a lighter and/or less expensive material and enhance the surface for better wear by using coatings.
While thermally applied metal is often the first candidate for Wear and Abrasion, in many cases Polymers can meet the ...
“Increase surface traction to improve web handling and combine the unique properties of surface traction and release.”
By using a high traction coating, slippage is eliminated resulting in a more consistent performance resulting in improved machine traction. Then using ASTM D1894, our laboratory can determine the coefficient of friction our coatings would provide against your material. A comparison can be made between the traction offered by your current surface and our coatings. We can match the surface texture you require for you application with Ras of 20-1000+ micro inches.
Ensure tight starts (reduction in spool losses, paper roll bursts and J-lines)
Plasma Coatings is a certified Dupont License Applicator (DLA), leading the industry in release coating services for a variety of industries. “Reduce the cleanup and buildup of such materials as starches, paints, adhesives, latex, rubber, food, paper, ice, sugar, resins, tapes, inks.” With over 40 years of experience we have developed over 30 coatings that customize your solution around several different variables:
Plasma Coatings offers a vast array of low Coefficient of Friction (COF) coatings. With these systems, we are able to supply a hard base onto your part and then impregnate one of our Low COF release agents into that coating. In doing this, it will make the coating extremely wear resistant and long lasting.
Conductive and non-conductive coatings are used promote or limit the flow of heat or electrical current into or away from the object that is coated. These coatings have many applications in a variety of applications and industries. Plasma Coatings has a wide variety of metal, metal alloy, carbide matrix, ceramic, and polymer coatings available with these properties as well as combination coatings composed of thermal spray and polymer coatings. There are basically four functional groups of coatings to be considered. All coatings have various combinations of both electrical and thermal properties. Check the specific coating data sheets for a listing of electrical and thermal properties.
“Maximize existing assets through the re-deployment and restoration of equipment to support new uses or improved performance.”
In today’s changing environment, manufacturing companies are challenged with product invention while at the same time preserving their large investment in current capital equipment.
As things change, requirements change. Through various coating materials and processes; existing tanks, vessels, mixers, pipes and other related production equipment can take on new surface property characteristics to support the changing manufacturing process. Why buy new when you can restore to new!
