Armourcote are leading
suppliers in the development and application of surface coatings
performed for clients across a broad spectrum of industries.
Armourcote are based in the following
cities - Leeds, Coventry and East Kilbride.
We specialise in modifying component
surfaces to endow them with properties desirable in the engineering
and process industries. The expertise is in three major areas and each
may be considered as a primary property with, if required, the other
two as secondary benefits obtainable in varying degrees.
SURFACE RELEASE
Minimising...
the unwanted adhesion of
products to production machinery.
To reduce ...
cleaning time, product
wastage, contamination of product, damage to machinery. |
FRICTION
CONTROL
Minimising...
without the use of
liquid lubricants, the natural results of two surfaces moving in
contact.
To reduce ...
wear, heat generation,
running costs, maintenance costs, machine downtime, operational
limitations. |
CORROSION
PROTECTION
Providing...
sophisticated and single
or multi-part surfaces which resist the attack of aggressive media
and environments. |
Even the most experienced engineers
can be taken aback.
The right surface coating can sometimes bridge the difference between
success and failure: its use may result in major savings or even make
possible what previously was thought insuperable.
Ours is a fast developing industry, where today, processes are
available that barely five years ago seemed unthinkable. As the needs
of industry alter, so also our remedies to keep abreast. Armourcote's
position at the forward edge is one that we're proud of and intend to
keep.
For us, surface coating is a wide and varied field. Though surface
release is the quality most closely linked with our name, it is rarely
an end in itself. The need for durability, temperature tolerance,
hardness and friction resistance, and protection from chemical attack
, are all factors which weigh in the equation.
That's why the balance of priorities and always, the unceasing battle
for improvement, are reasons why the solution for one is rarely the
answer for another. Perhaps too, that's why clients nationwide, bring
their problems to us. facing fresh challenges has brought us to where
we are today. It's maybe no coincidence that
our files bear
the names of some of Britain's most technically astute and demanding
companies. |
