Automotive Coating Solutions

The automotive sector has been a key market for the Anochrome Group for more than half a century.

The company services both UK and overseas customers – including OEMs and tier 1 suppliers – applying world-leading coatings to a huge variety of automotive components. These include fasteners, brake callipers, suspension systems, hinges and handles.

The coatings are specified and applied to achieve maximum engineering performance and optimal aesthetics. Our leading-brand clients seek the highest levels of corrosion resistance, friction modification plus resistance to wear and tarnishing.

We also apply sealing materials to threaded fasteners, which provide effective sealing against a variety of oils and fluids. In addition, we offer thread locking patches that operate in vastly differing temperatures.

Services & Coatings

We offer a wide range of services and coatings each delivering advanced surface finishing solutions for critical components and complex supply chains.

Anodising Conversion

Anodising forms tough aluminium oxide coatings with exceptional protection against corrosion, wear, and heat resistance for advanced applications.

Decorative Coatings

High-performance decorative coatings enhance appearance, durability, and adhesion across diverse substrates and demanding environments.

Dry Film Lubricants

Solid coatings reduce friction, wear, and heat - ideal for harsh environments and precision components.

E-cote / KTL

Durable e-coat finish with duplex options offers long-term corrosion protection for demanding industrial applications.

Induction Hardening

Induction hardening of thread forming Tri-lobular fasteners target zones, improving durability with minimal distortion and energy efficiency.

Mechanical Plating

Cold-weld coatings enhance corrosion resistance and avoid hydrogen embrittlement, suitable for large and small components.

Nylon Locking Patch

Nylon patches prevent fastener loosening from vibration, offering reusable, durable locking for industrial applications.

Optical Sorting

Optical sorting inspects fasteners for defects, ensuring accuracy, speed, and reduced labour in bulk processing.

Passivating

Passivation adds oxide layers post-plating, preventing corrosion and enhancing durability through chemical surface treatment.

Reactive Locking Patch

Pre-applied adhesives offer strong, single-use thread locking with precise placement and reduced assembly time.

Sealants

Thread and underhead sealants ensure reliable, reusable sealing with environmental benefits across diverse fastener applications.

Wax Coatings & Lubricants

Wax coatings and lubricants enhance finish performance by reducing friction, ensuring torque consistency, and durability.

Zinc Flake

Zinc flake coatings prevent corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement, ideal for industrial dip-spin applications.

Zinc Nickel Plating

Zinc nickel plating offers superior corrosion protection for components in harsh industrial and automotive environments.

Zinc Plating

Zinc electroplating offers cost-effective corrosion protection, extending component life in industrial and automotive sectors.
