Covering all your Thermal Coating
needs
Our Apticote 800 range of coatings can match - indeed exceed - all your coating requirements, maximising the cost, performance and production advantages. Whatever the challenge, we're here to help with our unrivalled experience and expertise.
At the leading edge for capability, quality
and service
Poeton has the computer controlled capacity to thermal coat components with a wide range of sizes and complex shapes. Our highly skilled thermal spray technicians, equipped with a comprehensive range of spray techniques, provide the highest quality coatings, complying with Industry Standards such as NADCAP. We also can provide, if required, any necessary a machining, grinding and superfinishing service.
We operate the most advanced Metco thermal spraying equipment, including high-energy plasma; 3M, 9M, F190, F145 plasma guns, a 9MCE computer-aided plasma spray system, together with ABB thermal spray robot and LR500 5-axis turntable, 6P guns for abradable coatings, and 14E and 5K guns for hard wire combustion requirements.
This substantial investment symbolises our commitment to providing customers with a full range of performance coatings to the highest consistent and repeatable quality standards. And through high productivity, we back them up with the assurance that Poeton coated components will be delivered - on specification and on time every time.

A selection of Apticote solutions to your coating problems
APTICOTE 800/17 - High Molybdenum Blend
|
|
Characteristics - Self-fluxing alloy blend with high molybdenum content, low coefficient of friction with higher wear/scuff resistance, higher bond and tensile strength than more expensive molybdenum wire coatings.
|
|
Applications - Shifter forks, Piston rods, Gear cones, Cylinder walls, Brake drums.
Whenever high resistance to wear at temperatures up to 345ºC is required. |
APTICOTE
800/19 - Alumina Titania Composite |
Characteristics - Only tungsten carbide achieves a harder dense coating than this composite of aluminium oxide and titanium which is extremely wear resistant to 540ºC. High dielectric strength. Good wetting resistance. Very smooth finish unaffected by most acids and alkalis.
|
|
Applications - Crankshafts, Rocker arms, Rod liners, Pumps, Water turbine nozzles, Heater tube insulation.
Any application requiring a combination of high wear resistance and smooth, non-adhesive finish (e.g. processing plant and equipment). |
APTICOTE
800/24 - Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt Composite |
Characteristics - Hard, dense, smooth and consistently high quality coatings from a fine grade tungsten carbide and cobalt composite. Extremely tough low temperature wear resistance under severe abrasive and fretting-under-impact conditions.
|
|
Applications - Jet engine compressor blades, Aircraft flap tracks, Lathe centres, Sucker road couplings, Wire drawing capstans, Trochoid housings, Seals.
Strong protection against fretting, hard surfaces, grains and particles.
|
APTICOTE
800/28 - Nickel-Aluminium Composite |
Characteristics - Reacting exothermically when sprayed, nickel-aluminium composites give dense coatings of high structural integrity that resist oxidation. Self bonds readily and offers impressive bond strength (up to 50% stronger than ordinary powders).
|
|
Applications - Stators, Thrust-reversers, Nozzle supports, Exhaust fan blades, High pressure nozzles.
Widely specified - even in the higher temperature ranges - where corrosion resistance is at a premium. |
APTICOTE
800/55P - Aluminium Oxide |
Characteristics - This hard, dense coating offers greater wear resistance than any other oxide ceramic. Recommended for problems with hard surfaces, abrasive grains, particle erosion and cavitation up to 540ºC. Extra benefits include low coefficient of friction and high dielectric strength. |
|
Applications - Pump seals, Slush pump piston rods, Soldering iron tips, Water turbine buckets, Dump valve plug and seat, Computer recording, Textile machinery components.
Most durable coating, ideal for components suffering heavy wear under high temperatures.
|
APTICOTE
800/58 - Molybdenum-Nickel-Aluminium Composite |
