R & D

With our in-house test equipment, we are able to evaluate exposure to different temperatures, abrasion and chemical attacks. As well, we can evaluate corrosive, salt-fog, high humidity and bespoke test environments. In collaboration with our project partners and customers, this dramatically reduces development lead times.

Our Managing Director Brian Norton comments, ‘our business lives or dies from Research and Development’. The key to our success is the way in which we can continue to develop protective and bespoke coatings, to meet the most stringent of requirements. As well, we ensure they can survive even the harshest environments. We have a particular speciality for the development of protective aerospace coatings that operate at extraordinarily high temperatures. Although a large part of our business is the development of bespoke coatings, it’s not an untypical example of how we work with our clients.’
