What is APTICOTE-ISIS?

APTICOTE-ISIS will help you choose surface coatings for your engineering components to help you maximise their performance.

APTICOTE-ISIS has been developed from the knowledge of Poeton's engineers accumulated over many years' experience of real world applications.

The manufacture of products of high quality and reliability is of major importance in today's competitive markets.  Designing to extend the life and avoid failure of critical engineering components is a problem faced by all engineering companies.  Given that most component failures are surface-initiated, design engineers need access to expertise about surface coatings.

Why use surface coatings?

The application of a surface coating to a material allows it to have completely different bulk and surface properties.  Aluminium is light and tough - hard anodise it and the surface becomes wear and corrosion resistant without sacrificing bulk toughness.  You could get similar properties at the surface by making the component of stainless steel, but at a higher cost and a substantial weight penalty.  Surface coating techniques extend your material selection options.

Why use APTICOTE-ISIS ?

• There is a vast range of coating technologies.
  Using APTICOTE-ISIS  allows you to consider in depth many possible solutions in a short time.
• Access to specialist knowledge and experience.
  APTICOTE-ISIS gives you instant access to practical knowledge built up over years by Poeton's engineers, the kind of knowledge you won't find in reference books.
• It'll broaden your horizons.
  Because APTICOTE-ISIS contains information about a wide range of coatings, you'll keep up to date with new developments which will allow you to get more performance from your designs.
• It'll help you get it right first time.
  All too often, surface coatings are used as remedial action on designs which have failed in service.  The ease of using APTICOTE-ISIS lets you design coatings in right from the start, while changes are cheap.
