Surface treatments

  • DLC process coats internal bores and pipes up to 50 microns

    Tecvac now offers a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating process that coats internal bores, pipes, pump parts cylinders and tubes up to 3m long with a corrosion-resistant, very hard film, up to 50 microns thick. The coating is inert, biocompatible, environmentally friendly, and can reduce friction losses to very low levels. 

  • The colour of money

    Dagenham based Colourite Metal Treatments has had a costing system overhaul that has not only increased turnover but has resulted in an energy saving of 12%. MAS helped the company introduce some lean techniques that allowed it to reduce scrap and defect rates by 50% and cut energy costs by 12%.
