When your parts require surface enhancement or repair, look to MBI to satisfy your application needs.  We provide better solutions for your surface engineering problems:

Build-up & repair coatings:  With ARC spray we can buildup surfaces with metals and alloys (.003" to .300" thick) with bond strength over 12,000 psi.  Using HVOF we can build up carbides with practicaly zero porosity.  Using PLASMA we can build up advanced ceramic coatings.  Our Selective Plating can be mobilized for on-site work.  Examples:  Crankshafts, Journals & Bores of all types, worn surfaces of all types, etc.

Non-stick / Slick coatings:  MBI's TUFFLON™ have extreme slickness with super release properties.  Coatings are enforced with metal spray for durability.  Examples:  Glue or Ink Trays & Pans, Rolls of all types, etc.

Non-stick / Non-slip:  TRACLON™ (aka Plasma-release)  have the highest degree of release known to industry with non-slip properties.  Providing better web tracking benefits to run your machinery at faster speeds without creasing or slippage.  Examples:  Rolls (Feed, Idler, Nip, Stretch, Dryer, Chill, etc.)

Hard coatings:  MBI's Tungsten and other carbides, nano-tech and various ultra-hard coatings (over 75 Rc hardness) are ideal for extreme wear resistance against abrasion, sliding wear, erosion, cavitation, etc.  Examples:  Pump parts, Granulators parts, Blowers, Seal areas, Wear plates, etc.

Anti-corrosion coatings:  Including Hastalloy, Inconel, Monel, Nickel-chrome, Aluminum, Zinc and Inert type coatings to combat various types of corrosion.  Examples:  Mixers, Agitators, Vessels, Pump parts, etc.

Other Properties:  We can apply hundreds of coatings to modify or enhance your parts surface properties.  Such as, for conductivity (Copper, Silver, Gold, etc.) or shielding (Zinc, Oxides, Polymers, etc.).  Many other coatings are available for various properties and requirements.  Examples:  Bus bars, Seal rings, Seal bars, Boiler tubes, etc.

What We Do

We utilize state-of-the-art processes such as:

• HVOF spraying
• Plasma spraying
• Selective plating
• Non-stick  polymers
• Engineered applications
• On-site work
• Machining & grinding

We utilize and apply the most advanced materials, such as:

• Ceramics (Titania, Alumina, Zirconia, chromium, etc.)

• Carbides (Tungsten, chrome, Titanium, etc.)

• Alloys (Hastalloy, Inconel, Stellite, Stainless, etc.)

• Pure metals (Chrome, Nickel, Copper, Zinc, Aluminum, etc.)

• Extreme release polymers (TUFFLON, TRACLON, Fluoropolymers and more!) 

We're even portable!

We can mobilize to do surface repair or coating enhancement work "on-site" at your location.

Most of the time we do the plating or thermal spraying work right on the machine, minimizing your downtime.

We even do spot chrome-plating repairs (of dings, scratches, imperfections, metal loss, etc.) without disassembling your Roll, Mold,  Cylinder, etc.

Because we use pure metals & alloys,  repairs blend in with adjacent surfaces with close color match.
