Phosphate

This coating produces a chemical conversion on the surface of carbon steels.

• Reduces galling and risk of seizure
• Improves lubricity and oil retention of applied lubricant films
• Provides an excellent key for subsequent paint or sprayed-on coatings
• Increases corrosion resistance

Spray Coating

LWD specialises in the application of PTFE and molybdenum based surface coatings which provide:

• Excellent lubrication and friction control
• Corrosion and wear resistance
• Heat resistance and high temperature tolerance
• Chemical resistance
• Various colour systems

Pickling

• Assists prevention of surface oxidation of duplex and super duplex materials
• Safe and environmentally friendly chemicals used

Other surface treatments include:

• Phosphate Coatings
• Molybdenum Disulphide
• Pickling
• Shot Peening
• Honing
• Polishing
