Mechanical properties and resistance

Designed to extend the life of parts exposed to intense mechanical stress, our coatings provide enhanced protection against abrasion, erosion, and friction. Using advanced spraying technologies, APS Coatings ensures optimal performance even in the most demanding environments.

Our abrasion-resistant coatings are designed to extend the life of components subjected to repeated friction or abrasive particles. Using advanced technologies, they reduce wear, maintain mechanical performance, and limit maintenance downtime, even in the most demanding industrial environments.

Reducing the coefficient of friction means increasing the efficiency and longevity of each part: APS-Métrasur-Lorilleux’s anti-friction coatings, from Nuflon® fluoropolymers and other PTFE-based solutions, to low-friction hard chrome deposits, to wear-resistant HVOF coatings, create optimally sliding surfaces that eliminate seizure, limit fretting wear and lower energy consumption. The result: safer assemblies, smoother operation and longer service life—even under heavy loads and high temperatures.

APS Coatings’ non-stick coatings significantly reduce material buildup on surfaces, facilitating demolding and cleaning, and reducing production downtime. They improve productivity while extending equipment life, even under extreme conditions.

Thanks to advanced formulations, APS Coatings provide surfaces with high hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. This non-wettability limits liquid adhesion, reduces contamination, facilitates cleaning and extends the life of equipment, even in the most demanding environments.

Resistance to environmental constraints

At APS Coatings, we offer a range of coatings designed to withstand high temperatures, ensuring the protection and performance of your components in severe thermal conditions. Our solutions, such as alumina, chromium carbide or silicone coatings, offer remarkable thermal stability up to 800°C, while retaining their mechanical and functional properties. Whether for industrial, chemical or medical applications, our coatings guarantee increased durability in the face of thermal stress.

APS Coatings surface coatings provide advanced chemical protection, essential for extending the life of equipment exposed to harsh environments. Using materials such as fluoropolymers (such as Halar® ECTFE) and technical ceramics (such as alumina or chromium oxide), these coatings resist a wide range of corrosive chemicals, even at high temperatures of up to 260°C. This exceptional chemical inertness is particularly beneficial in sectors such as chemicals, water treatment, healthcare and food, where component durability and reliability are paramount.

Our surface coatings provide an effective barrier against corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of parts exposed to harsh environments. Thanks to advanced formulations, they protect metal substrates from moisture, chemicals, and oxidation, while maintaining their mechanical properties. An ideal solution for ensuring reliability and performance over time.

To ensure optimal protection against moisture, gases, and contaminants, APS Coatings offers coatings based on Parylene, renowned for its excellent sealing properties. This vapor-applied polymer forms a uniform, thin, and continuous barrier, even on the most complex geometries. Ideal for sensitive components, Parylene provides long-lasting sealing without adding weight or compromising the mechanical performance of the parts.

Thanks to advanced expertise in materials and deposition processes, APS Coatings offers customized coatings that either promote electrical conductivity or ensure optimal insulation. Our solutions adapt to the specific needs of your components, whether it’s dissipating electrostatic charges, protecting against stray currents, or ensuring reliable insulation in demanding environments.

APS Coatings surface coatings provide essential fire resistance for demanding industrial environments. Through the use of advanced materials such as fluoropolymers and PEEK, these coatings delay or inhibit the spread of flames, while maintaining their mechanical and chemical performance at high temperatures. This thermal protection is particularly suitable for sectors facing fire risks or extreme temperatures, thus ensuring the safety and durability of equipment.

Biocompatibility and sensory properties

We offer surface coatings specifically designed to ensure the potability of water. Our solutions provide optimal protection against corrosion and chemical attack, while preserving the quality of water intended for human consumption.

We offer surface coatings specially formulated to meet the requirements of the food industry. Our solutions comply with current regulations, including FDA (Food and Drug Administration) standards, ensuring optimal safety in contact with food. These coatings also provide excellent chemical resistance and durability, while facilitating cleaning and limiting the risk of contamination.

Some of our surface coatings incorporate antibacterial properties designed to limit the proliferation of microorganisms on treated surfaces. Ideal for sensitive environments (healthcare, food processing, public facilities, etc.), they help improve hygiene, reduce the risk of contamination, and extend the lifespan of materials.

The surface coatings developed by APS Coatings incorporate essential anti-noise properties to improve acoustic comfort in the automotive and rail sectors. By effectively reducing vibrations and friction, these coatings help to reduce noise pollution, thus providing a quieter and more pleasant driving experience.

Thanks to advanced technologies such as thermal spraying and the application of specific polymers, APS Coatings offers tailor-made solutions adapted to the acoustic needs of mechanical parts.

Using cutting-edge processes such as liquid spraying, electrostatic powder coating and fluidized bath, APS Coatings offers a variety of finishes, from matte textures to glossy surfaces, including metallic or colored effects. These techniques allow for the production of fine coatings, ranging from 2 to 500 microns, suitable for a multitude of substrates such as steel, plastic, ceramic or wood.

In the luxury sector, for example, APS Coatings works on leather goods, watches, writing instruments and jewelry, providing friction resistance, anti-adhesion or anti-corrosion properties, while offering varied texture and color effects.
