Specialist Coatings for Construction Equipment

 

Construction sites can provide the most arduous working conditions for vehicles and their working components. Surface Technology offer a wide range of innovative coating solutions with properties that enhance the performance of this equipment. Dry film lubrication coatings ensure the smooth operation of moving components when traditional liquid lubrication, such as grease and oil, are contaminated with the surrounding abrasive environment.

 

Our range of plating finishes offer outstanding levels of corrosion protection on mild steel components in these harsh and hostile conditions.

 

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.

 

TriCem 3800, the new generation of corrosion resistant black finishing is now specified by the leading manufacturers of construction equipment in the UK as their preferred coating on all pins. The ability to offer 2000 hours corrosion protection combined with scratch resistance and a gloss black finish surpassed all of their requirements.

 

Porosity is a collection of voids in the structure that comes in three basic forms. It can be fully enclosed, blind or through porosity. This adversely affects the performance of engine cylinder heads and cylinder blocks. The Ultraseal impregnation process successfully overcomes these issues with the clever use of our sealant technology which is applied under vacuum.
