Alphatek Hyperformance Coatings is a leading independent thermal spray coating specialist. Many of our thermal spray coatings are proprietary and have been developed to meet customers’ specific application requirements.

No job is too complex for our team – we break down your problem, discuss how we can solve it, and then come up with a solution that will work and benefit you in the long-term. We’re great at solving complex surface challenges.

What Are Proprietary Surface Engineering Coatings?

When we talk about coatings in surface engineering, we’re talking about the process of modifying or the process of coating a surface of a component in order to enhance the properties it has.

Our surface engineering coatings solutions are technically sound, of a proven quality, and backed up with the highest level of service currently available on the market.

Alphatek, since 1993, has been working with and solving issues for customers across all industries. Over the years, our hard work and experience has allowed us to earn a reputation for delivering the best results.

There are four major proprietary surface engineering coatings that we use at Alphatek:

  • HYPERLOY® – Great for Combination surfaces.
  • HYPERFLON® – Thermal Sprayed surfaces.
  • HYPERSLIP® – For Non-Stick / Release surfaces.
  • HYPERTRAK® – Traction surfaces.

Industries demand a large diversity in coating characteristics depending on what component the coating is for. These properties include non-stick release, traction, frictional wear, corrosion, abrasion, high temperature resistance, conduction, and dielectric-insulation. And with our 100+ years of experience, there’s not a lot we can’t handle. We might not have seen it all, but we’ve seen a lot over the years, solving easy and complex surface challenges.
