Composite Coatings

---

Composite coatings combine different material types—metallic, inorganic, and organic—to enhance specific properties such as strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. These coatings offer synergistic advantages over individual materials, enabling performance in demanding environments. For example, composite coatings are ideal for applications that require both wear resistance and thermal insulation, such as in the aerospace, marine, and energy sectors. They are also employed to enhance adhesion and reduce friction in industrial machinery. Composite coatings are often used to tailor coating characteristics to unique requirements, offering high-performance solutions in diverse industries.
