Advanced spray coating to improve your product, production & equipment
Explore what's possibleWith up to 4× higher coverage rates per kilo, our spray coating technology helps customers achieve longer component lifetime, improved operational efficiency, and reliable performance in some of the industry’s most demanding environments.
Material challenge accepted
We are the first to apply one of the world’s hardest materials – silicon carbide (SiC) – as a protective layer using thermal spraying. Combined with YAG, this breakthrough enables a uniquely durable and lightweight ceramic coating without the need for post-treatment or sealing.
This innovation delivers a true performance transformation at the coating level – extending component lifetime, reducing maintenance costs, and improving operational efficiency. By enabling superior protection under demanding conditions, ThermaSiC creates a clear competitive advantage.
More than an incremental improvement, the combination of silicon carbide and thermal spraying represents a step-change in coating technology – unlocking new opportunities in material engineering, process optimization, and industrial durability across industries.
From surface to strategy
ThermaSiC was not developed as a standalone coating innovation, but as part of a broader industrial performance philosophy. By connecting material science with operational efficiency, commercial impact, and sustainable performance, surface engineering becomes a driver of strategic advantage.

Sustainable performance
Extending component lifecycles, reducing material waste, and lowering environmental impact through more durable and resource-efficient coating technology.
Engineering beneath the surface
Coatings alone are not enough – true performance starts with the right material strategy. By rethinking the relationship between coating and substrate, we enable cost-efficient and lightweight materials to perform in environments traditionally reserved for high-grade alloys and complex material systems.
Compatible with a wide range of metallic and advanced substrates – including steels, aluminum, titanium, yellow metals, and carbon materials – this approach unlocks new possibilities in component design, lightweighting, cost optimization, and high-performance surface and substrate engineering, while enhancing operational efficiency and lifecycle performance.
ThermaSiC - the solution
Silicon carbide has traditionally been considered unsuitable for thermal spraying due to its behaviour at high temperatures.
With ThermaSiC, it can be applied with conventional spray systems.
Each silicon carbide particle is stabilised with a protective layer, allowing it to withstand exposure to high temperatures during the spray process. This makes it possible to deposit the material as a dense, stable coating using standard HVOF and APS processes.
The coating forms a dense structure with very low porosity (below 1% with HVOF) and can be applied across a wide thickness range from 50 µm – 400 µm (HVOF) and up to 4000 µm (APS).
Silicon carbide is among the hardest known materials, while maintaining relatively low density. As a coating, this results in a combination of high wear resistance, thermal stability, and low weight within a defined process window.
The material is inert and non-toxic by design, reducing reliance on heavy metals and other hazardous components. It is developed for use within existing thermal spray systems, without requiring changes to equipment or post-treatment.
