About Us
Surface Technology plc is one of the foremost names in plating techniques and surface coatings. In addition to the full range of Armourcote specialised coatings, we offer customers a diverse range of surface coating processes and expertise compliant with ISO9000:2000 and ISO 14001.
We are leading suppliers in the development and application of advanced surface coatings.
Surface Technology has a comprehensive range of skills and expertise covering all aspects of surface finishing on mass produced components processing coatings on sub sea equipment and aerospace components. Our electroless nickel offers a wide variety of coating options, for wear resistance, corrosion protection or aesthetic appearance.
Surface Technology's patented metal coating technology dramatically exceeds the performance of hard chrome, tungsten carbide and electroless nickel. At the same time, it is cost-effective and safe for the environment. Any industry or application that is concerned about wear resistance, friction reduction and increasing operational performance should explore the potential of our TriCem product range that is one of the hardest metal plating materials ever developed and demonstrated reduction of wear in excess of 500%.
Our experience covers a wide base of metals including cast and sintered materials. We offer impregnation treatments prior to plating for potentially porous components in order to eradicate coating problems associated with gassing or leaching out of process chemicals. In addition to the full Armoucote range, our processing capability includes:
Corrosion & Wear Resistant Coatings
Zinc Plating, Zinc Alloy Plating, Anodising, Alocrom, Phosphate, Passivation, Electroless Nickel and Nickel Plating.
Engineering Coatings
Electroless Nickel, Silver, Anodising, Nickel/PTFE Composite Nickel Plating
