Metal coating
Also known as: Metal coating, metal roller coating
PROTEK® Metal coating by INOMETA
Our PROTEK® metal coatings with high surface quality on CFRP/GRP, aluminium and steel rollers are a key component for the use of lightweight rollers in high-performance machines. In addition, PROTEK® metal coatings are used for corrosion protection, wear protection, repair coating for fitting surfaces, or to increase an outer diameter. They typically consist of application-specific metal alloys to provide surfaces with a protective layer and give them additional functional properties. Our PROTEK® metal coatings are suitable for a wide range of industries and customer-specific applications and are characterized by durability, performance, and reliability.

INOMETA coating processes for PROTEK® metal coatings
PROTEK® metal coatings, produced with state-of-the-art, high-precision processes, deliver exceptional uniformity and durability for long-lasting performance. Additionally, our advanced thermal spraying technology allows us to create a wide range of base and coating material combinations, perfectly tailored to your specific application requirements.
This option highlights the benefits of the precise processes – uniformity, durability, minimal maintenance – and the versatility of material combinations for tailored solutions.
For CFRP/GRP, aluminium, and steel rollers, we offer thermal coating processes such as:
- Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) with gas e. g. argon, helium, nitrogen, hydrogen or a mixture of these
- High velocity oxygen fuel spraying (HVOF)
- Arc spraying with atomizing gases like nitrogen or argon
- Thermal spraying with wire or with powder
These coating methods are employed to apply PROTEK® metal coatings, enhancing the performance of customer-oriented applications. The advantages of thermal spraying include:
- High adhesive strength of the coating
- Minimal substrate distortion
- Ability to coat complex geometries
- Wide range of coating materials
- Enhaced surface properties
- High coating thicknesses
- Corrosion and wear resistance
- High temperature resistance
- Thermal conductivity
- Electrical insulation properties
Our coating processes are suitable for various components and offer optimal protection against static, dynamic, mechanical, and chemical stresses. In addition, a wide range of combinations of base and coating materials is possible with these processes.
