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.
A smart processor also controls and logs every detail of every batch, providing critical data to ensure that consistent and repeatable quality is guaranteed.
Managing director Colin John says the latest advances in process technology, a new solution management system, and continuous 24-hour operation are together providing a 10% saving in energy.
"As energy is a significant cost in the process, the saving makes Apticote 300 more affordable for quality conscious customers" he says.
The high-capacity line is able to provide customers with a fast response on a wide range of high quality, low-cost, hard anodising applications.
Typical properties include maximum hardness up to 500Hv, excellent wear resistance, 1800 hours ASTM B177.73 salt spray corrosion protection, high dielectric strength, improved fatigue strength and greater load bearing capacity.
