EBC Coatings
Corrosion protective coatings can be applied to almost all metals providing increased service life. Plasma Processes applies aluminum and zinc coatings providing 20+ years of service life depending on thickness and environment. Corrosion-resistant coatings such as Inconel 625, Hastelloy®, nickel, stainless steel 316L, tantalum, etc. can be applied 99% dense. Polymer coatings of acrylics, nylons, fluoropolymers, epoxy, polyethylene, peek, and polyimide provide corrosion protection in a variety of colors. Corrosion-resistant coatings can be shop or field applied.
Although we don’t do PVD/CVD in-house, we offer several alternatives to hard chrome plating. Hexavalent chrome is carcinogenic and strict regulation is forcing many industries to consider alternatives to both chromium and cadmium. Many coatings developed to replace hard chrome contain no chrome at all. These coatings are produced in environmentally and occupationally safe methods that easily meet and exceed OSHA and EPA regulations concerning hexavalent chrome.
