Saint-Gobain Coating Solutions
Within the Saint-Gobain Innovative Materials sector, the Coating Solutions group falls under the High-Performance Materials business unit. Coating Solutions evolved out of the Norton Group, which was acquired in 1990 by Saint-Gobain. Our coating portfolio includes consumables such as thermal spray ceramic powders, Rokide® rods, ingots, metal powders and wires, flexible cords, and Ekonol® polyester resins, as well as equipment used in plasma spray, portable flame-spray guns, and other coating, welding, and brazing tools.
The consumables are melted using a heat source and are propelled towards a target substrate. The final coated surface has enhanced properties that protect against wear, heat and corrosion or maximize electrical, mechanical, or physical characteristics. Major applications are found in commercial or military aircraft engines; land-based turbines for power generation; rolls for the pulp and paper and printing industries, and oil and chemical pumps.
