What we do
Surface technology
Surface technology is a process used extensively to prolong the working life of components and protect them from environmental factors such as corrosion and abrasion.
Bodycote are technology specialists in the provision of high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF), plasma, organic, ceramic, and polymer coatings. Built upon this competence and backed by a customer-driven service, the company provides a vast array of surface technology coating solutions to suit your specific needs. We can even develop specific surface coatings based on your application environment. Surface technology products and services range from coating services; coating and application development; specialist coating sealing technologies; complete manufacture, through to the supply of coating materials and technology transfer.
