When standard solutions don't meet your requirements, our engineering team works with you to develop custom surface treatment solutions tailored to your unique application challenges.
We combine deep materials science expertise with decades of process engineering experience to solve surface challenges that others can't. Every custom project begins with understanding your complete application environment.
We work as an extension of your R&D team, sharing knowledge and insights throughout the development process. Your IP remains protected under strict NDA agreements.
Every custom solution is grounded in materials science fundamentals. We use DOE (Design of Experiments) methodology to systematically optimize process parameters for your specific requirements.
Solutions are designed from day one with production scalability in mind. We bridge the gap from R&D prototypes to full-volume manufacturing without compromising quality.
Deep-dive into your application environment: operating conditions, substrate materials, failure modes, performance targets, and regulatory requirements. We define clear success criteria together.
Our materials scientists evaluate potential coating chemistries and architectures. We conduct preliminary trials to validate the concept and identify the most promising approaches for full development.
Systematic DOE studies to optimize process parameters. Multiple iterations with comprehensive characterization at each stage — thickness, composition, adhesion, hardness, and application-specific testing.
Rigorous validation against your specifications, including accelerated life testing, environmental exposure testing, and functional performance verification under real-world conditions.
Seamless transition from development to production with documented process specifications, operator training, and statistical process control implementation. Ongoing support ensures consistent results.
Real engineering challenges solved through custom surface solutions. These examples demonstrate our capability to tackle unique requirements across diverse industries.
Developed a novel high-phosphorus electroless nickel formulation achieving < 0.3 Oe coercivity with superior surface planarity for next-generation perpendicular magnetic recording media.
Engineered a duplex coating system replacing cadmium plating for aircraft landing gear components, exceeding 2000 hours salt spray resistance while meeting aerospace environmental regulations.
Created a specialized low-friction, biocompatible coating for minimally invasive surgical instruments that withstands 500+ autoclave sterilization cycles without degradation.
