New surface coating technology centre
The new Poeton coating technology centre boasts an array of wear and friction test equipment, and three environmental corrosion chambers, allowing Poeton to solve customer coating problems.
He adds that all the processes operate in a zero discharge environment, ensuring that no waste escapes the site's sophisticated waste control system.
To mark the opening of the Centre, Poeton has produced a new 30-page booklet explaining the benefits of the cadmium process which, the company says, stands alone as a superior corrosion resistant coating for manufactures of aerospace and defence equipment.
The booklet is available free of charge.
Summarising the benefits Chris Rochelle says cadmium coatings can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces.
They also provide a combination of outstanding corrosion resistance, low friction coefficient and electrical resistivity, good galvanic comparability and plating coverage, and are easily brazed and soldered.
"For these reasons" Chris says, "cadmium coated products are preferred for a wide range of critical and safety-related applications in the aerospace, electrical, and defence industries".
