Chemical Film Coating Aerospace Industry
New Method Plating Co. was recently approached by a customer in aerospace and defense to perform a chemical film coating job for an existing product line. Also known as chem films, these coatings are widely used in aerospace applications to coat and repair anodized surfaces on components that can rust due to exposure to harsh, moist, high-altitude conditions. The customer specifically reached out to New Method Plating Co. to provide high-quality chemical film finishing services for their application.
New Method Plating Co.’s Metal Finishing Technician monitored the process to ensure the coatings were of the correct thickness and met the given specifications, while New Method Plating Co.’s automated system ensured efficient processing and timely high-volume production.
