Through metallizing, we create a metal protective layer for parts where durability, durability and continuity with the next coating system are decisive. We deal with the process following blasting, wet painting, quality control and documentation.
When does metallizing make sense
Metallizing / thermal spraying makes sense when the part has to withstand a demanding environment for a long time and the coating system alone may not be enough. We assess the material, the environment, the required service life, pre-treatment, subsequent painting and control of the result.
A metal layer is applied to the prepared surface, which creates a protective base for parts exposed to moisture, outdoor environment, chemical load or demanding industrial operation.

For heavier, large or irregular parts, we handle handling in advance. We assess shape, weight, suspension, sensitive areas and follow-up to blasting, metallizing, painting, packaging and shipping.

The metallizing follows on from its own blasting and, according to the requirements of the order, can continue with another coating system. One controlled process reduces the risk of delays, unclear responsibilities and loss of quality between steps.

Pretreatment and subsequent operations
For metallizing, the condition of the substrate is decisive. That is why we deal with blasting, surface cleanliness, material suitability, required layer thickness, subsequent coating system and documentation even before the start of the contract.
If metallizing is to be followed by wet painting, packaging, assembling or other production operations, we propose a procedure so that the individual steps follow each other and unnecessary risk between suppliers does not arise.
The surface must be prepared so that the metal layer adheres well. Custom blasting helps keep process continuity under control.
According to the requirements of the order, we deal with the used spray material, the environment, the required service life and continuity with the next coating system.
For selected orders, metallizing can form the basis for the final painting. The result is a system that combines a metal protective layer and a coating according to the customer's requirements.
For demanding orders, it is important to document that the surface treatment corresponds to the specifications. Measurements, reports and documentation for internal approval or audit can be addressed as required.
Tests and inspection
For demanding jobs, it is not just about the spraying itself. It is important to verify surface preparation, continuity of layers, required thickness, appearance, documentation and fulfillment of customer requirements.
Checking the substrate before metallizing helps reduce the risk of poor adhesion or problems in subsequent layers.
According to the requirements of the contract, it can be verified whether the layer corresponds to the designed system and the technical specification.
For combined systems, it is important that the metallizing and final painting form a functional unit.
Output documentation assists with internal approval, customer audit and job traceability.

Fields and Typical Uses
Metallizing is applied where surface protection affects part life, supplier approval, or overall product reliability. It most often makes sense for metal structures, parts for demanding environments and orders where verifiable quality is required.
Surface systems for parts where standards, auditability, documentation and long-term reliability are addressed.
Anti-corrosion protection, resistance and a demonstrable process for technically demanding parts and strict customer requirements.
Structural units, components and parts exposed to harsh environments, moisture, weather or operational loads.
Orders where the customer needs a stable process, subsequent painting, inspection and documentation with one partner.
Parts with non-standard shape, handling or requirement for a combination of blasting, metallizing, painting, packaging and shipping.
Selected technical parts where long-term protection, process accuracy, control and traceable documentation are important.
Projects
With metallizing, it is important to show not only the finished surface, but also the reason for choosing the system: the environment, the desired service life, surface preparation, subsequent painting, inspection and documentation.
Anti-corrosion protection
Type order, where durability, correct pre-treatment, metal protective layer and a verifiable result are decisive.
Duplex system
A solution for parts where the customer requires a combination of metal layer, final appearance and higher durability.
Heavy engineering
Demonstration of solutions for manipulation, blasting, metallizing, control and preparation of the part for the next steps of the order.
Technical approval
An example of an order where documentation, follow-up to the customer's internal regulation and quality control are important.
Surface preparation
A type implementation where shortening the handover between suppliers helps reduce risk and keep the quality of the result.
Certification and testing
For demanding jobs, it is important to document not only the result, but also the entire process: surface preparation, system used, inspection, subsequent layers and documentation for technical approval or audit.
View certifications and examsSurface preparation
Inspection of the substrate before metallizing and follow-up to in-house blasting.
Layer thickness
Verification of the required layer according to the technical specifications of the contract.
Coating system
Follow-up of metallizing to basic and final painting according to customer requirements.
Documentation
Evidence for internal review, supplier approval or customer audit.
Frequently asked questions
Metallizing makes sense for parts where the customer requires a higher level of anti-corrosion protection, a long service life or a combination of a metal layer with a subsequent coating system.
In most cases, proper mechanical surface preparation is essential for the adhesion of the metal layer. That is why we deal with blasting as a natural part of the metallizing process.
Yes. For selected orders, the metallizing can be followed by another coating system so that the result meets the required resistance, appearance, shade or customer specification.
Yes, for heavier or irregular parts, we handle handling in advance. We need to know the dimensions, weight, shape of the part, sensitive areas and the required follow-up procedure.
The fastest is to send a drawing, photo of the part, material, dimensions, weight, required environment, required service life and information on whether metallizing should be followed by painting or other treatment. If you do not know any data, a brief description is sufficient.
