AEROSPACE
Protect surfaces, reduce weight, and extend performance for the aerospace industry’s most critical components.
Coating Solutions for the Aerospace Industry
In aerospace manufacturing, precision is everything and so is protection. At Marcote, we specialise in coating solutions that preserve the integrity of critical parts, fixtures, and tooling used in the production and assembly of aircraft systems.
Our coatings are engineered to prevent metal-on-metal contact, resist chemical corrosion, and extend the service life of jigs, fixtures, and tools that are subjected to extreme operational conditions.
Whether it’s a jet engine component or the fixture that supports it during chemical processing, we ensure every piece is protected to the highest standard.
Why Surface Protection Matters in Aerospace
Aircraft components — especially those made to aerospace-grade tolerances — are highly susceptible to damage during handling and processing. Unprotected contact between metal parts can lead to costly scrapping, rework, or even safety concerns.
Fixtures and jigs, especially those used during chemical treatments like etching or cleaning, undergo thousands of operational cycles and are constantly exposed to aggressive fluids. If these tools corrode or degrade, not only are they expensive to replace, but they can also compromise the integrity of the precision components they support.
That’s where our coatings come in..
Our Aerospace Coating Capabilities
Halar Coatings for Jigs & Fixtures
- Function: Applied to jigs and fixtures that handle highly sensitive and valuable jet engine parts.
- Purpose: Prevents metal-on-metal contact, protecting both the fixture and the aerospace component from physical damage.
- Chemical Resistance: Outstanding resistance to aggressive chemical baths used in aerospace manufacturing processes. While components go through a single cycle, the jigs endure thousands and need to remain intact.
- Ideal For: Fixtures used in chemical etching, anodising, plating, and cleaning processes.
Nylon & Polyurethane Coatings
- Function: Used for jigs where chemical exposure is not a primary concern but physical contact protection is critical.
- Purpose: Prevents surface damage during assembly, lifting, or workstation handling.
- Applications: Lifting jigs, workbench jigs, assembly tools.
PTFE & Other Fluoropolymer Coatings
- Function: Supplied for a variety of aerospace applications.
- Purpose: Provides non-stick, low-friction, and chemically resistant surfaces.
- Use Cases: Generic applications in interiors, tooling, or system components requiring reduced surface adhesion.
Key Benefits of Marcote Coatings for Aerospace
Damage Prevention
Stops surface damage to delicate or high-value aerospace parts by isolating them from hard fixtures or tools.
Superior Chemical Resistance
Coatings like Halar ensure repeated use in corrosive chemical processes without degrading performance.
Extended Jig and Tool Life
Reduces fixture replacement frequency and improves operational reliability.
Extended Jig and Tool Life
Reliable coatings mean fewer interruptions for repair or replacement of corroded or damaged jigs.
Application Versatility
From heavy-duty fixtures to lightweight assembly tools, our coating range covers every touchpoint.
