Surface Technologies

BASF Catalysts's proprietary thermal spray surface coatings offer surface treatment and surface finishing options to enable customers to create high-performance components for specialized products. Our line of advanced coatings includes corrosion prevention coatings, wear protection coatings, erosion prevention coatings, thermal barrier coatings, thermal protection coatings, metalizing, and general protective coatings.

These are used for aircraft engine coatings, gas turbine coatings, medical implant coatings, and many other applications. Our technologies include HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel), flame spray coatings, electric arc coatings, cold coatings, hot section coatings, plasma spray, and wire coatings.

From gas turbine components used in aerospace and power generation industries, to replacement joints for medical applications and shifter forks for automotive uses, BASF Catalysts technology can provide a competitive advantage to customers in virtually any market where surface enhancements are critical.

BASF Catalysts's thermal spray technology imparts properties unobtainable by base metal selection alone. High-performance parts and components with unique capabilities are the result.

Our line of advanced thermal coatings enhances metallurgical performance. We engineer specific applications and adjust coating materials, spray equipment and robotic software to produce customized results for customers.

BASF Catalysts coating products are used to protect and enhance a wide variety of critical components used in the aerospace, automotive, diesel, power generation, medical and other industries. These coatings create:
  • dimensional integrity
  • multi-layer thermal barriers
  • corrosion control
  • abrasion and erosion-wear resistance
  • high-temperature wear resistance
  • chrome plate replacements
Our Center for Advanced Coatings offers customers superior thermal spray process capabilities. The Center is designed for applications development, parameter studies, coatings qualification and prototype work. Our coatings experts work with directly with customers to diagnose problems and devise solutions. We can fully quantify coatings by analyzing composition and evaluating structure. In addition to our unique processing and coating capabilities, we offer many complementary services such as chemical stripping, NDT, as well as a variety of finishing competencies.
