Metal Improvement Company can assist you in selecting the right coating to meet your design challenge, lower the cost of ownership or enhance the performance of your products. Selection of the proper coating can enable the use of less expensive metals, improve part wear life and reduce maintenance costs.

The E/M Coating Services Division of the Metal Improvement Company has over 40 years of experience in applying critical tolerance coatings and is a pioneer in the development and application of solid film lubricant (SFL) coatings. SFL coatings are effective in a broad range of applications whenever conventional wet lubricants provide insufficient protection due to high temperatures, extreme loads, corrosion, wear, chemical corrosion and other adverse operating conditions.

E/M Coating Services operates a network of six facilities in the U.S. and one in the U.K. Among the different categories of coatings this service network applies are:

• Solid Film Lubricants – that protect against adverse operating conditions such as high temperatures, extreme loads, corrosion, wear, galling, seizing, friction, abrasion and chemical corrosion.
• Impingement Coatings – that provide an ultra thin, firmly adherent solid film lubricant.
• Conformal Coatings – for sealing more delicate objects – such as medical devices, satellite components and circuit assemblies – that operate in hostile environments.
• Shielding Coatings – that protect electronic devices from Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-Static Discharge (ESD).

E/M Coating Services applies all coatings using controlled processes to achieve the highest levels of quality and consistency.

Two additional facilities that joined the Metal Improvement Company's coating services network are located in Fremont, IN and Ingersoll, Canada. They specialize in the application of high performance coatings for corrosion, oxidation, lubricity and cosmetic applications. The corrosion resistant coatings applied by these facilities are complementary to the SFL coatings applied by the E/M Coating Services network.

Among the coating technologies applied by the Fremont and Ingersoll facilities utilizing their highly automated spray coating lines are:

• Zinc rich coating systems
• Powder coatings
• Dry film lubricants
• Chrome free corrosion resistant coatings
• Aluminum rich coatings
• Powdered metal porosity sealing coatings.
