Case Studies
Thermally Sprayed Silver Electrical Contactor Coatings
Electrical contactors are normally made from electrically conductive, lower cost copper or alloys of copper. However, copper and copper alloys are prone to corrosion and oxidation.
Restoration of Classic Vehicles
Restoring any classic vehicle requires a huge amount of time and effort, not to mention funds. Therefore, it is understandable that classic car restorers want to ensure that they can maintain the pleasure they get from their classic vehicles for as long as possible.
Zinc Thermally Sprayed Coatings on Gates and Railings
AFT Fluorotec Coatings have been providing corrosion protective solutions to our customers who manufacture gates and railings by means of our thermally sprayed zinc.
Zinc Corrosion Protection
AFT Fluorotec’s zinc thermal spray process has many possible applications, but providing corrosion resistance to steel products is the most common.
PCTFE Seals for Commercial Space Rockets
AFT Fluorotec were recently commissioned by a space technology company. A company who researches, designs and manufactures cutting edge rockets using environmentally friendly propellants to deliver payloads into space.
PTFE Valve for Medical Applications
A medical client approached us with a very challenging part for a new valve that was in development. The component was a PTFE diaphragm which played a crucial role within the valve.
Lightweight POM Casing and Internal Components
The project we were approached for was develop an electrical version of a traditional gas flame torch to be used on construction sites as a primary heat source.
FDA Approved Mesh Basket & Top Seal
Recently, we received a call from a contact who was familiar with our services and capabilities from a previous company he worked at. They needed our help with a mesh basket and top seal.
Non-magnetic Dielectric Component for Medical Applications
Recently an electronics customer requested assistance in the development of a non-magnetic, high voltage, dielectric trimmer capacitor where they felt PTFE may be a suitable choice of material to perform as the dielectric.
Large Slide Bearings Project
For this particular order we had a customer request for a large quantity of fairly technical slide bearings with tight tolerances and angles that would be difficult to achieve for most.
