Pharmaceutical Equipment Coatings
Discover high quality corrosion resistance
Our specialist pharmaceutical equipment coatings are based on high performance melt processable fluoropolymers. PFA, PVDF and ECTFE are all suitable for these applications and can be modified to provide unique properties for customer requirements. Laboratory glassware such as beakers, test tubes and stirrers are frequently coated to prevent cross-contamination. Our coatings are unaffected by most chemicals, offering corrosion resistance in the most demanding of conditions throughout the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Anti-static (static dissipative) and FDA compliant systems are available on request.

Shot Blasting
The scale, capacity and locality of our facilities ensure we provide a cost effective and efficient shot blasting service. Shot blasting is used to prime and clean surfaces, removing rust, scale or old coatings to expose clean bare metal ready for subsequent treatment. It also provides an effective method of preparing a surface with a roughened profile which promotes the adhesion of the specialist coatings we offer. We are equipped to shot blast using a variety of media including; metal shot or ball, aluminium oxide, silicon granules and glass. These are specified to offer a wide range of surface conditions which optimize the performance of the finished deposit. For larger components and assemblies it can offer substantial speed and cost savings over other conventional cleaning methods.
Key Properties of Shot Blasting
- Surface Cleaning – De-rusting / De-scale
- Surface Preparation – Prior to coating
Pre-Coated Fasteners
We keep a huge stock of bolts, nuts and studs including 2H nuts and B7 studs. These fasteners are ready for dispatch worldwide in one day coated either with electroplating, PTFE/XYLAN, DACROMET® or GEOMET®. Sold to fastener distributors only in keg/box or pallet quantities, each B7 stud and 2H nut is tapped oversize for additional assembly ease.
Zinc Iron Plating
Zinc iron plating offers good corrosion resistance, typically 4 to 5 times better performance than Zinc plating and a deep, lustrous black appearance. It is used extensively in applications where its appearance is of key importance.
Key Properties for Zinc Iron Plating
• Corrosion Protection
• Typical Rack plated component with black passivate – 480 hours to White corrosion
• Consistent Black finish
• Abrasion resistance – harder than normal Zinc plating systems
Ductile
Zinc Tin Plating
Tin Zinc plating provides an extremely lubricious film with exceptionally good throwing power and exhibits exceptional corrosion resistance. The alloy of Tin and Zinc in the plated layer also provides galvanic corrosion protection of steel substrates when they are in contact with aluminium. The plated film is conductive and offers solderability where required. Tin Zinc Nickel is also incredibly ductile – components can be post formed by crimping and bending after they have been plated. Tin zinc is an ideal replacement for cadmium plating whilst not suffering from the harmful environmental impacts.
Key Properties for Tin Zinc Plating
• Corrosion Protection
• Typical Rack plated component with yellow passivate – 2000+ hours to Red corrosion (neutral salt spray)
• Ductile
• Temperature resistant
• Conductive
• Solderable
• Lubricious
Zinc Nickel Plating
Zinc nickel plating has the ability to offer outstanding corrosion protection, especially when subjected to high temperatures. It is used extensively in automotive under body applications where its temperature and corrosion resistance are vital.
The preferred alloy composition of zinc nickel plate is 12 – 15% nickel, with the remainder being zinc. This alloy gives exceptional sacrificial corrosion resistance and can be readily passivated. To achieve this alloy, zinc nickel is usually plated from an alkaline electrolyte.
Zinc Nickel is used to plate steel components when they are to be assembled with other dissimilar metals, particularly aluminium, and where there is a greater risk of galvanic corrosion. The plating layer is extremely ductile which enables pipe and tube assemblies to be plated prior to manipulation into their final shape. Its corrosion protection can be enhanced with clear, yellow or black Trivalent passivates.
Key Properties for Zinc Nickel Plating
• Corrosion Protection
• Typical Rack plated component with colour passivate – 1000 hours to White corrosion, 1500 hours to red corrosion (neutral salt spray)
• Ductility
Temperature Resistance
Abrasion resistance – harder than normal Zinc plating systems
Applications
• Automotive – Fluid transfer tubes which can be deformed into their required shape after plating
• Automotive – Fasteners, particularly in areas of high corrosion (under hood, chassis joints)
• Electronic – Connectors, as a direct replacement for cadmium to provide corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity.
• Aerospace & Defense – joining components in contact with aluminium
