Aerospace Industry Coatings

 

Our Aerospace coatings cover a wide range of applications such as extending component life against wear, thermal barriers to reduce material operating temperatures and coatings to improve engine running efficiency.

 

In the field of aviation guaranteed performance is vital, our pressure testing service and subsequent impregnation where required, ensures the integrity of fuel delivery components.

 

Jet engines rely on high friction protective coating. For example, an aircraft at full power during take-off, especially in hot desert regions, the exposed fore-end fan assembly is subjected to intense bombardment from sand and other airborne particles. To combat this, a leading engine manufacturer employs Armourcote® to apply a three part protective coating to the annulus filler that separates the blades. Exposed surfaces use a formulation that acts as an anti-erosion shield, whilst the metal-to-metal contact section employs a dry film lubrication system to minimise fretting corrosion.

 

We provide wear and corrosion resistant surface coatings for a range of industrial applications for various clients some of which are Westland Helicopter, Airbus UK, Raytheon, Martin Baker, Honeywell and Goodrich Actuation Systems, Rolls Royce, Hales Air Defence.
