THERMEX® THERMAL SPRAY COATINGS
ThermEx spray coatings protect, enhance, refurbish, repair or improve shafts, pistons, seals, fans, rams, impellers, valves, cylinders, crossheads, saddles, rod eyes and more. For the machinery and equipment that powers up the energy industry and other heavy-duty industrial applications, ThermEx makes it work… and ThermEx makes it work better.
The process is equal to or better than chrome plating, which has longer lead times for remanufacturing, higher cost for complete repair, and concerns with toxicity and damage.
