How to make tightening easier while limiting the risk of your screws seizing?
During tightening operations, screws are subjected to repeated friction which can lead to seizing and impact their proper functioning over time.
At APS-METRASUR-LORILLEUX, we apply NUFLON® GBT coatings by spraying, which allow us to:
-
Reduce the coefficient of friction for smoother tightening
-
Limit seizing to facilitate loosening
-
Reduce wear and tear on parts over time
We adapt our solutions to your constraints to guarantee performance and durability.

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.

APS-METRASUR-LORILLEUX is committed to the Aero Excellence™ assessment process
To support this ambition, we are participating in two structuring and complementary programs:
-
Heading towards Aero Excellence, led by @Cetim - Technical Centre for Mechanical Industries, @Space Aero and the @CCI Paris, to build a roadmap aligned with the @GIFAS - French Aerospace Industries Association framework
-
Robus-TS, with Space Aero, to deploy a load/capacity matching methodology in surface treatment
Objective: to strengthen our industrial maturity to meet the challenges of the aeronautics sector.
At APS-METRASUR-LORILLEUX Coating Solutions, operational excellence is built every day through rigor, team commitment and continuous improvement, serving a more efficient and responsible industry.
Together, let's be a source of inspiration and develop sustainable solutions.
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.
