Protective coatings are coverings that are intended to provide a layer of protection from anything that could damage the function or integrity of an item. Resistance to abrasion and impact is another factor to be aware of when contemplating metal coatings. A protective coating will often resist the scratching and chipping that can result from the use and occasionally necessary abuse of metal equipment and devices.

Resistant To Abrasion

Where severe wear is a problem Polycoat Products solutions outperform rubber, plastics, and metals. Polycoat Products coatings have strong resistance to abrasion allows for the fabrication of many products using less material, making it a very cost effective production material. Other benefits include lighter weight, longer life, and reduced costs of maintenance and replacement.

Highly Resistant To Impact

While conventional plastic materials tend to become brittle as they become harder, polyurethanes remain more elastic and resist fracture. This great toughness makes Polycoat Products solutions ideal for parts that have to stand up to high impact.

Suitable For High-flex Applications

Under repeated flexing, Polycoat Products coatings and linings will not crack. Polycoat Products offers an important advantage; it retains its strength and toughness regardless of section thickness.

Flexible At Low Temperatures

Polycoat Products coatings have the strong properties that will remain flexible when subjected to cold conditions to -40° F. As well, Polycoat Products offers products that are resistant to thermal shock without cracking, or losing their bond.

Won’t Sweat Or Deteriorate In Water/Waterproofing

Polycoat Products coatings remain stable, even when immersed in water as warm as 50° C (122° F) for very long periods, but is not recommended for continuous use in water hotter than 70° C (158° F). They absorb practically no water – barely 0.3% to 1.6% by weight – and shows negligible swell in volume, even after prolonged immersion.

Electrical Properties

Polycoat Products coatings and linings are excellent insulator. They can be used extensively in potting (protecting the joints in power cables) and other encapsulating applications, where electrical isolation is important.

Resistant To Oil, Grease, And Chemicals/ Industrial Coatings

While rubbers and plastics show excellent resistance to certain solvents, oils and chemicals, Polycoat Products coatings will resist a much wider range of substances.

Radiation Resistant

Of all elastomers, polyurethanes are considered to have the best resistance to gamma ray radiation. After exposure, Polycoat Products retains virtually all of their original flexibility and toughness.

Noise Reduction Capacity

Polycoat Products is ideal for sound-deadening and anti-vibration applications. Depending on its thickness, Polycoat Products will substantially reduce noise and vibration because of its flexibility and extreme resilience.

Precision engineering specialists will be able to take on a variety of projects, from simple repairs, to more complex manufacturing jobs. This article takes a look at some of the most common types of precision engineering services, and how you can find the right precision engineering specialist for your needs.

CNC Milling and Turning

Precision engineering specialists will be able to provide a range of milling and turning services. Specialists will use lathes and turning machines to complete small or large scale batch work, to a very high degree of accuracy.

EDM Wire Cutting

EDM stands for electronic discharge machining. It is a process that allows metals to be cut with an extremely high level of accuracy. EDM is particularly beneficial for very hard materials, or for items that need to be cut in a more complex shape. Some of the larger companies will have access to a 3 dimensional machine, which utilizes 3D CAM software to accurately cut small components.

Hydraulic Cylinder Repair and Manufacturing

Precision engineering specialists will be able to manufacture components for the food, mining, and general hydraulic industries. They are also able to manufacture small replacement parts for a variety of hydraulic cylinder machinery, including pistons, glands, eye structures, rods, and barrels.

Some companies may stock replacement parts for mining or earth moving equipment. This will allow clients to easily fix small issues in the quickest amount of time possible.

Fabrication and Boilermaking

Many companies will have the equipment necessary to manufacture steam boilers, and different styles of pressure vessels. Reputable companies will also ensure that each of the boiler systems are built according to local laws, and boiler codes. Highly trained engineers are used to design and create high quality, durable, and safe boilers that are built to last.

General Precision Engineering

There are also a number of other common tasks that specialists are able to undertake. General services include things like:

• Surface grinding
• Cylindrical grinding
• Slotting and broaching
• Manual milling
• Manual turning
• Gear cutting

This is only a small selection of the general precision engineering services that are available. You can discuss your project requirements with a specialist, who will be able to advise you on the best way the project can be completed.

How to Find a Precision Engineering Specialist

The best place to find a precision engineering specialist is online. Simply use your favourite search engine to locate companies that are in your area. All reputable precision engineering companies will have a website that will provide details of the services that they offer, along with all of their contact details. Always use a trusted company, to ensure that you will be receiving a high quality service. You may want to have some questions ready to ask the company when you first make contact with them. These questions can include things like:

• How long have they been in operation for?
• What qualifications do their workers hold?
• Do they offer free quotes?
• How long is the work insured for?
• What payment methods do they accept?
