At APS Materials, Inc., we provide a vast range of coatings to meet your unique production needs. Here’s a brief overview of the different types of coatings we offer:
Our metallic coatings provide strong adhesion, improved thermal conductivity, and effective surface protection. Ideal for applications requiring reliable material performance under stress, they support long-term durability while reducing contamination and maintenance.
Carbide coatings offer exceptional wear protection for components subjected to abrasion, erosion, and high-friction environments. Applied through high-velocity plasma spray processes, these coatings create dense, durable surfaces that withstand intensive mechanical stress.
Our ceramic coatings deliver superior resistance to heat, corrosion, chemicals, and abrasion. Applied through advanced plasma spray processes, these coatings protect critical components and enhance long-term performance in demanding operating environments.
Our polymer coatings deliver low-friction, hydrophobic surfaces with excellent chemical resistance. Applied with optimized cure profiles, these coatings maintain performance in elevated temperatures and corrosive environments.
Flame wire spray is a common plasma spray application process used for metallic coatings. During this process, a metal wire is melted and sprayed onto a surface to produce a coating.
Similar to flame wire spray, flame powder spray is a plasma spray application process where the coating material is heated and then applied. This process uses metal or ceramic powders in its application instead of metal wire.
This process melts two conductive wires of opposite polarity, then uses compressed air to spray the molten material onto surfaces. The result is a strong, wear-resistant coating that enhances durability and performance in demanding industrial applications.
High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) uses a high-speed jet of fuel and oxygen to propel coating powders onto surfaces, creating a dense, low-porosity layer with exceptional bond strength. The result is a durable, wear-resistant finish that restores and protects parts for peak performance in demanding environments.
Atmospheric plasma spray uses an ultra-hot plasma jet to create strong, high-performance coatings that withstand extreme wear, heat, and corrosion. This versatile process delivers reliable, long-lasting protection for components across aerospace, industrial, and energy markets.
Low-Pressure Plasma Spray (LLPS) and Vacuum Plasma Spray (VPS) are similar spray applications conducted in a vacuum chamber or low-pressure atmosphere environment.
