Polyamide Coatings  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Polyamide coatings
The polyamide coating is used for the finishing and protection of metallic surfaces. The polyamide coatings have high wearing resistance and very good insulating properties. The coating thickness lies between 200 µm and approx. 1 mm (exceptionally up to 4 mm). Due to their mechanical and chemical properties, polyamide coatings are used in many decorative and technical domains. Polyamide coatings are produces with the fluidized-bed sintering procedure.
For special design features of the products to achieve coatings are also part of certain sections of parts possible.
Size ranges

• Series and individual parts to 600 kg
• Rotationally symmetrical parts up to Ø 800 mm x 4,000 mm
• Construction parts (depending on part geometry) 2,200 x 1,000 x 1,000 mm

Depending on the geometry of parts in our parts can be up to a size of 2,200 x 1,000 x 1,000 mm, rotationally symmetrical parts up to Ø 800 mm and a length of up to 4,000 mm coated.
We offer polyamide coatings in various colors.
