Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and fabricators often seek our services. By using DiFruscia Industries, a manufacturer can focus on its core production. Established manufacturers with their own coating operations often use our services by outsourcing their overflow and parts that are a drain on their cycle times, or that have special color, quality, and/ or masking considerations.
As a standard part of our finishing process, we provide chemical pre-treatment as required. Degreasing and iron phosphate are standard. Additional pre-finishing processes and services are available, such as shot penning, sand blasting, tumbling. We work on partnership projects in the areas of fabrication, research and development, and packaging of products that are ready for distribution once the coating is applied.
Unique finishes engineered to provide exceptional dry lubrication, and often serve as a more robust product alternative to traditional lubricants and anti-seizing agents such as superficial oils. Depending on your application requirements or desired military or industry specification, dry/solid film lubricants provide benefits by protecting tooling from galling, resist seizure, fretting or corrosion, for a variety of extreme conditions.
Dry film lubricants can be utilized in applications with extreme temperature ranges (from sub-zero to 1200° F) and resist out-gassing under vacuum for use in the aerospace and military industries. We offer a range of these thin film coatings to satisfy your application requirements.
The Cerakote family of products are high quality coatings that are available in both thermoset cure and ambient cures cycles. Cerakote coatings offer extreme hardness, optimize wear resistance and extend the serviceable lifetime of your components.
The use of varying surface roughness and different profiles mean that this coating can be adapted to a specific application. A top coat can also be added to enhance the surface with excellent non-stick properties.
Heat reflective coatings improves fuel and fluid resistances for a large variety of elastomeric surfaces. By applying heat reflective coating to the surface of an elastomeric part, this allows for the bulk of the component to be made of less expensive, less fluid resistant material. Applications for heat reflective coatings include industrial, commercial, and opto-electronics.
Zinc rich coating is used for applications on high strength materials. Zinc’s high corrosion resistance in harsh environments make it an ideal coating for iron and steel products. Zinc’s corrosion resistant capabilities are due to its ability to form dense, adherent corrosion byproducts, leading to a rate of corrosion significantly lower than most ferrous metals, 10 to 100 times slower depending on the environment.
