Focus on plasma projection
Plasma thermal spraying allows the application of a wide variety of coatings (metallic, ceramic, carbide or abradable) with a high level of precision, essential for high-performance technical parts such as those used in aeronautics, space or defense.
At APS-METRASUR-LORILLEUX, we have significant plasma spraying production capacity, ensuring our customers receive rapid processing of their parts. And this is just the beginning: further developments are coming soon to this technology.

Low-friction coatings in the medical field
Greater safety and comfort for patients
Fluoropolymer coatings are used in numerous medical applications, particularly in catheters and tubing for medical devices. At APS, we apply these thin coatings, ranging from 4 to 6 microns, even inside very narrow tubes, ensuring a homogeneous application.
We thus contribute to the development of less invasive medical procedures through:
-
A low coefficient of friction to ensure smooth insertion and reduce patient discomfort;
-
Biocompatibility adapted to medical requirements;
-
Resistance to sterilization products to facilitate cleaning and limit the risk of infection.

In-house adhesion tests for our coatings
We conduct in-house testing to guarantee the durability of our coatings.
We perform tensile tests according to ASTM C633 to test the adhesion of applied coatings.
At APS-METRASUR-LORILLEUX, these tests are carried out directly in-house, from the very first production runs, to meet the requirements of the most critical applications, such as those in the aerospace and defense sectors.
A key step to ensure the reliability and performance of our coatings.

How can you guarantee the long-term operation of your cylindrical parts?
Whether for connectors, medical devices or defense equipment, you need insulating or non-stick coatings to apply inside tubes, connectors, rings or any other cylindrical component.
At APS-METRASUR-LORILLEUX, we have developed expertise in the uniform application of thin or insulating coatings inside cylindrical parts, even for thin tubes of 1 mm in diameter!

When copper wire becomes a high-performance coating!
Discover in video our electric arc projection process, where two metal wires melt under an intense arc to protect and improve your industrial parts.
With this process, molten metal is projected at high speed to create a durable and resistant coating, suitable for layering and large areas, and usable directly on site.
Benefits:
-
Resistance to wear and abrasion
-
Protection against corrosion and oxidation
-
Resistance to impact erosion
-
Preserved electrical conductivity
Copper wire takes on its full potential to reinforce your parts and ensure performance and durability.
