Coating thickness depends on your application requirements. PVD coatings typically range from 1-25 μm for decorative and wear applications. Thermal spray coatings can range from 0.05mm to 5mm for wear and thermal barrier applications. Our engineers will recommend the optimal thickness based on your specific needs.

Yes! We can recoat existing parts in most cases. The parts need to be cleaned, and we may need to strip existing coatings first. We also offer on-site mobile coating services for large or fixed items that can't be transported.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) creates a harder, more durable coating through vaporized material deposition. Electroplating uses electrical current to deposit metal ions. PVD offers better adhesion, harder surfaces, and environmental benefits. Electroplating is often more cost-effective for thicker coatings on complex geometries.

Shielding requirements depend on your threat environment and equipment sensitivity. Commercial applications typically need 60-80 dB, while military/government may require 100+ dB. We conduct threat assessments to determine optimal specifications for your situation.

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding covers the entire EM spectrum including low frequencies. RF (Radio Frequency) specifically targets radio waves (3 kHz to 300 GHz). Most practical solutions address both, with RF focusing on higher wireless communication frequencies.

Yes, existing enclosures can often be retrofitted with EMI gaskets, conductive coatings, or internal shielding. Effectiveness depends on original construction and penetrations. We offer evaluation services to determine the best retrofit approach.
