Ellison Surface Technologies Offers State-of-the-Art Thermal Spray Coatings

Thermal Spray Coatings adhere to a wide variety of substrates. Their low permeability provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and wear.


Flame Spray – a low cost, mature
coating technology
Plasma Spray – combines gases and
electrical power to achieve high temperature
capabilities with a broad base of materials,
including ceramics

Electric Arc – a high capacity, medium
cost technology good for a wide range of
materials possibilities
HVOF – state-of-the-art, high velocity
process of dense, well-bonded surface
treatments

Lower Cost Performance Coatings (LCPC)

A less expensive coating solution for less demanding applications, these coatings provide high corrosion and chemical resistance (better than thermal spray), good abrasion resistance and can be modified to provide lubrication and thereby improve wear resistance.

  • Corrosion Resistant Coatings – designed to resist atmospheric corrosion (rust), typically measured in hours of exposure to a 5% salt spray. Zinc plating typically provides 72-144 hours. Galvanizing provides up to 300 hours. Ellison LCPC far exceeds these standards, providing thousands of hours of protection against corrosion.
  • Chemical Resistant Coatings – designed to resist exposure to chemicals, typically immersion in one or more chemicals at a particular concentration and temperature.
  • Release Coatings/Fluoropolymer Coatings – there are a wide variety of coatings within this type designed to provide lubrication, release and/or chemical resistance.
  • Low Friction Wear Resistant Coatings – a family of coatings with dispersed lubricating solids designed to provide permanent or semi-permanent lubrication when applied to wear surfaces, either one or both mating surfaces.
  • Abrasion Resistant Coatings – designed to provide resistance to abrasion and/or cavitation. Performance is typically measured in milligram loss/1000 cycles of a rotating weighted wheel. Typical epoxy coatings run 100-300 milligram loss. Ellison’s LCPC can achieve values under 5 milligram loss.
  • Di-electric Coatings – coatings designed to affect the flow of electricity through a surface. Coatings can be either high or low resistivity, depending upon the intended purpose.
