Endura Coatings products

Endura`s Ceramic Hard Coatings are created with a proprietary immersion-based spark deposition process, which transforms the outermost layer of your aluminum or magnesium substrate into a ceramic oxide. Under an applied electric waveform, the parent metal (your work piece) combines with elements in an acid-based electrolyte to form a protective layer of ceramic. These coatings encapsulate your tooling to create a highly uniform coating, which replicates all surface geometry and provides excellent resistance to wear and corrosion.

Electroless nickel coatings are an immersion-based nickel alloy technology which conforms to most complex geometries of ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces. Traditionally, electroless nickel plating technologies provide a multitude of benefits including added hardness, wear and corrosion protection. Depending on your specific performance needs, chemistries can be modified to enhance those properties. These variations may also provide unique dry film lubrication and can be used at temperatures in excess of 1000° F.

A fluoropolymer is a polymer that contains molecules of carbon and fluorine. They are high-performance plastic materials used in harsh chemical and high-temperature environments, primarily where a critical performance spcification must be met. Fluoropolymer coating or "Teflon-like" coatings are engineered to create a wide array of performance benefits.

Solid / dry film lubricants are unique finishes engineered to provide exceptional dry lubrication, and often serve as a more robust product alternative to traditional lubricants and anti-seizing agents such as superficial oils. Depending on your application requirements or desired military or industry specification, dry / solid film lubricants provide benefits by protecting tooling from galling, seizing, fretting and corrosion.

By nature, chromium has a low coefficient of friction and is resistant to a wide variety of corrosive agents and materials. These attributes make hard chromium plating particularly attractive for applications plagued by accelerated wear and high friction. Compared to an uncoated surface, a chrome-plated work piece can provide increased in-service longevity, creating significant advantages to our customers by lessening or eliminating down-time and tool maintenance / replacement. Endura®`s functional hard chrome plating is used in a variety of industries and environments, such as applications in which durability and alloy protection is imperative.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) coatings possess advanced coating architectures which provide a multiplicity of surface characteristics not attainable with standard coating treatments.  Special sputtering techniques, low-pressure plasma treatments and specialized equipment enable full coverage of complex, intricate tooling geometries and create a variety of unique material properties.

Endura`s Liquid Ceramic Coatings represent our latest advancements in ceramic insulation coating technology. Complex ceramic particles combine with proprietary resins and copolymer reinforcements to create surface architectures that are highly robust. Applied via a proprietary application process, our 700 Series coatings are highly conformal and can afford:

Endura Coatings` thermal spray coating technologies represent the most advanced thermal spray materials and processes available today. Endura`s proprietary thermal transfer process and fusion-bonded technology provide bond strength and hardness properties that are truly unique. This technology generates minimal heat at the working surface which helps mitigate dimensional or geometric distortion.

Polymer composite diamond coatings combine the benefits of a composite diamond coating (a unique, patented technology for dispersing diamond particulate throughout an autocatalytic nickel alloy) with a proprietary infused fluoropolymer matrix. This technology allows Endura®Coatings to apply and integrate diamond with specialized polymers to most alloy surfaces. The combination offers unparalleled benefits of wear resistance, surface hardness, high release, non-stick, low friction, and dry lubrication.

Our composite diamond coatings (CDC) are unique, patented technologies for dispersing diamond particulates throughout an autocatalytic nickel alloy matrix. The end result is an extremely conformal, uniform coating that possesses all the physical properties of diamond at a fraction of the cost. Our 1100 Series coatings afford exceptional wear resistance, unrivaled surface hardness, and provide excellent heat transfer properties. Through a proprietary infusion process, we are able to apply and integrate diamond, the hardest known material (10,000 Knoop scale) to most alloy surfaces.
