Tailored Automotive Coating Solutions: Enhance Durability, Improve Performance, and Drive Production Efficiency.
Automotive Coatings Tailored to Your Needs
Whether you’re engineering precision components, restoring a classic car, or managing high-volume production, you face unique challenges that demand tailored solutions.
At Marcote, we understand these needs and provide advanced coatings that solve your toughest problems, helping you deliver exceptional results with efficiency and precision.
From non-stick solutions for moulds to durable coatings for high-performance parts, our expertise ensures that your work doesn’t just meet expectations it exceeds them.
For Production Managers: Efficiency Without Compromise
In a high-volume production environment, every second counts. Downtime, cleaning, and inefficient processes can slow you down and inflate costs. Marcote’s coatings are designed to optimise your production lines, minimising interruptions and keeping operations running smoothly.
How We Help:
- Non-Stick Coatings for Production Lines: Prevent build-up on paint lines, glue lines, and e-coat lines, reducing cleaning time and cross-contamination while improving output.
- Foam and Tyre Mould Coatings: Enhance release properties for moulded components like foam seats, plastic dashboards, and rubber tyres, ensuring consistent quality, removing the need to use release wax and reduced down time in cleaning.
- Durable Mandrel Coatings: Keep silicone and rubber hose production efficient with easy-release coatings that enable your operators to remove the moulded part from the mandrel without the use of release agents and high pressure air.
We help you achieve your production goals with fewer delays and lower costs by streamlining your processes and protecting your equipment.
For Automotive Engineers: Precision Meets Performance
As an engineer, you need components that perform under pressure. Designing high-stress parts like brake callipers, wheel hubs, or bearings? The right coatings make all the difference. Friction, heat, and corrosion can damage designs, but Marcote’s coatings ensure reliable performance in harsh conditions.
How We Help:
- Abrasion-Resistant Coatings: Tungsten carbide and PTFE protect parts like wheel hubs, bearings, pistons and other engine components, reducing wear and extending lifespan.
- Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: Thermally sprayed zinc shields components, protects base metals, and provides a bonding layer for a painted finish.
- Heat-Resistant Coatings: We apply ceramic coatings to exhausts and turbo systems to manage heat and protect surrounding components. We also apply thermally conductive coatings to radiators to increase the performance of the cooling system.
- Customised Solutions: We work closely with you to develop coatings that meet the exact specifications of your designs. One client needed to reduce mud build-up in rally car wheel arches to minimise added weight during competitions. We did this via a tailored non-stick coating that could be directly applied to the carbonfibre wheel arch liner.
With Marcote, your precision engineering gains the added reliability and performance it needs to stand out in a competitive market.
For Restoration Experts: Bringing Classics Back to Life
Restoring a classic car isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about ensuring every part works as it should, from the smallest component to the overall performance. Worn-out parts and corroded surfaces can be a headache, but Marcote’s coatings are here to make the process smoother.
How We Help:
- Strip and sandblasting: We remove old paints or coatings from parts using pyrolysis (burn-off) for thorough preparation. We sandblast the parts clean, revealing areas needing repair or preparing them for painting.
- Abrasion Resistance for Replacements: PTFE coatings protect brake and engine components from wear, ensuring your restored vehicles are built to last.
- Corrosion Protection: Thermally sprayed zinc prevents rust and deterioration in metal parts, especially for vehicles exposed to the elements.
- Heat-Resistant Coatings: We apply heat-resistant coatings during restoration to manage temperatures, protect components, and ensure reliability.
Whether you’re crafting new components or refurbishing original ones, our coatings ensure your restorations run as smoothly as they look.
