Ideal Surface Treatments To Maximize Uptime in a Wide Range of Industries
Pumps, valves and compressors often need to operate smoothly in extreme operating environments. Our surface treatments can help.
We formulate our surface treatments to safeguard vital components like pump impellers and seals, valve seats, compressor cylinders and pistons against wear, cavitation, abrasion, corrosion, galling and material buildup that can otherwise compromise performance, efficiency and longevity.
By providing the protective characteristics pumps, valves and compressors need to perform in challenging applications, our surface treatments ensure maximum system uptime and productivity. For example, many of our coatings are suitable for corrosive low pH conditions or high temperatures found in oil and gas installations, while others come in FDA- and USDA-compliant versions for hygienic industries.
Whether your parts need to perform in oil and gas, chemical processing, wastewater or other industrial sectors, we can provide an ideal surface treatment.

Application Examples
Ball Valves in Chemical Processing
Galling of stainless steel balls used with some metal seats can result in leakage. Magnaplate HMF® can eliminate galling and raise operating temperature ranges and lifetimes in ball valve applications. It creates an exceptionally smooth, slippery, amorphous and non-crystalline micro-finish that resists wear and corrosion and exhibits a low coefficient of friction (COF) to reduce galling, making it a smart coating alternative compared to chrome and bright nickel coatings.

Engineered Coatings Boost Throughput, Solve Problems in Packaging Applications
Keeping packaging equipment up and running is top priority for engineers and plant personnel. Faced with ever-increasing productivity benchmarks based on fast and efficient operation, packaging engineers must continually fight against issues such as sticking, premature wear, abrasion and corrosion. To eliminate these challenges, nano-engineered coatings are being used to protect machine components and solve performance problems in food, pharmaceutical and consumer goods packaging.

High-Tech, Space-Age Metal Surface Enhancement Coating Solves Wear and Release Problems for Pine Instrument Company's Gyratory Compaction Asphalt Testers
The development of computer-controlled asphalt testing equipment to simulate and then quantify and predict the punishment which various asphalt mixes will be able to endure when used to pave actual roads has placed enormous burdens on the components of that test equipment. To stand up to simulations of heavy road wear, equipment designers have had to look beyond the conventional and to seek out materials that could endure tremendous stress. That was precisely the position in which the worldwide, leading supplier of such equipment, Pine Instrument Company of Grove City, Pennsylvania, found itself.
