Specialist Automotive Coatings
Surface Technology have developed a range of treatments and finishes that are specified by leading automotive manufacturers around the world.
Our high performance zinc and zinc alloy finishes are widely used to prevent corrosion and our Ultraseal resin impregnation systems are used to seal porosity and improve engine performance, quality and life expectancy. Other surface coatings are specified where friction control and abrasion resistance are required.
Surface Technology applies specialist Zinc Nickel coatings to hydraulic parts used widely in power steering and brake systems. They have developed techniques that provide corrosion resistance over the entire surface of the component, whilst offering a ductile surface which allows our customers to post form and bend the parts into their final shape.
The finish of high performance brake callipers in combination with new alloy wheel designs has become a key part of the visual appearance of the modern car. Surface Technology apply anti-corrosion high gloss paint and specifically developed PTFE coating systems to these components, providing not only a corrosion protection but also a surface that is not adversely affected the unsightly result of brake dust build up.
