Over 50 years experience in the coating industry

Over half a century after it was developed and brought to market, Armoloy (TDC) remains the first name in thin dense chrome.

The Armoloy process

The solution and application process are carefully monitored to produce a very thin, dense chromium coating. Armoloy TDC coated parts reduce friction, increase wear life and enhance corrosion resistance.

Corrosion Resistance

Armoloy TDC provides corrosion resistance equivalent to 440C stainless steel.

Reduced friction

The coating’s micro-nodular surface finish will provide a coefficient of friction as low as .12

Improved wear

Increases surface hardness up to 78Rc increasing cycle time and wear life.

Anti – galling

With increased surface hardness & reduced friction, the coating gives anti-galling properties to threaded components.

We have components which are still running successfully after 6 years…. Before Armoloy they had to be replaced every year.Darren Pearce, Silver Spring Mineral Water Company

It’s a superb product…. We’ve never had one of our components wear out … it’s vastly superior and we get an excellent service too.Bob Evans, Bradman Lake

We have worked closely with Armoloy for some time now and Simon and his team are always extremely helpful. Our business works to very short lead times and Armoloy always try and accommodate our needs. They are always able to provide accurate due dates and wherever possible work to improve these if possible, they are a key partner to our businessTony Thompson, ALM

We had a problem where we were over moulding steel components and after moulding the parts were sticking in cavity’s and damaging the parts. We were spraying with silicon spray ever 3 shots to help. This is costly as it is an automated line and we needed to place a person on to the line just for spraying. We then removed the core finger and coated in Armoloy this stopped the sticking and we have had no more damaged partsDean Marsh, Selectrona

We were having issues, our ejector pins were sticking and snapping while moulding flame retardant plastic components. This resulted in us having to stop production every 3 days to clean the pin (5 hrs ) We then approached Armoloy to coat our pins to help with sticking , this was a success, as we are now running for 3 weeks before maintenance periods , as per customer requirementsAnother added bonus is when the tool comes out for maintenance it only takes minutes to clean the ejector pins due to the non-stick properties of the ArmoloyDean Marsh, Selectrona

Since applying Armoloy I can confirm that the coating has solved the problem of tearing by the drive dogs on ejection. We have successfully run three or four colours on this tool in addition to white, as you will recall this was not possible before without tearing the dogs. Additionally the cycle time has been reduced since the coating. Thank you very much for your help with this exercise, which has proven to be a very cost effective solution.”Wayne Byler, Bespak

We would recommend the Armoloy coating for suitable components to enhance both the mechanical and chemical resistance properties of the base materialPeter Fanshawe, Hepco Motion
