Metal Finishing Services

Silchrome has dramatically increased its capabilities in the provision of specialist final coatings. 

Silchrome have invested in new spray facilities and curing ovens and introduced a number of new processes. 
We now offer:

Xylan

Xylan is a fluoropolymer based coating that can be applied to a wide range of components. Xylan coatings typically contain PTFE and offer improved wear resistance, reduced friction, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. There are a range of coatings with different specific properties that are designed to be used for different applications.

Everslik

There are a number of Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS2) based coatings supplied under various trade names. It is a dry lubricant and can be combined with other materials in different blends to produce coatings with enhanced properties for different specific applications.

Molykote

There are a number of Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS2) based coatings supplied under various trade names. It is a dry lubricant and can be combined with other materials in different blends to produce coatings with enhanced properties for different specific applications.

Epoxy Primers

Two part epoxy coatings were developed for heavy duty service on metal substrates and use less energy than heat-cured powder coatings. These systems generally use a 4:1 by volume mixing ratio, and dry quickly providing a tough, protective coating with excellent hardness.

These different coatings can provide your products with enhanced capabilities in areas such as:

Corrosion Resistance
Wear resistance
Temperature Resistance
Low Frictional Resistance
Load Bearing Capabilities
Anti Galling

The coatings also offer fantastic opportunities to improve the look and feel of your products:

Improved surface finishes
Eliminate scratches and minor blemishes
Multiple colour options
An overall higher quality aesthetic appeal

With our excellent range of pre-treatment and plating processes Silchrome gives you the opportunity to have single company provide a complete service from start to finish.
