Global Coating Solutions for Demanding Environments

Anotec provides a global source of specialised coatings to industries operating in some of the most demanding environments.

We are the go-to supplier for the automotive industry, trusted to deliver high-quality spray coatings, anodising and aluminium passivation for leading brands such as BMW, Daimler Benz, Jaguar Land Rover, McLaren and Porsche. Our expertise also extends to extreme environmental coatings for the marine, rail, wind energy, oil and gas, defence, highway sectors, and more. Wherever corrosion protection is critical, our services are in demand. We support customers in tackling increasingly complex challenges with cost-effective, durable solutions that meet the highest quality and environmental standards.

Our services are in demand where corrosion protection is the most critical – from wind energy locations, marine and rail, to highways, oil and gas. We help customers address their increasingly complex challenges with cost-effective, durable solutions which meet the most stringent quality and environmental standards.

To achieve this we utilise manual, automatic and robotic techniques to produce high-quality spray coatings, together with anodising and aluminium passivation, thermal diffusion and electromagnetic compatibility coatings (EMC).

We supply small and large batch sizes, from large defence projects and engine blocks to M3 aerospace fasteners and brake calipers.

Types of Coating Supplied

There are five main categories of coating available from Anotec:

    • Solid film lubricant and organic coatings, including industry-leading products such as Xylan® from Whitford.
    • Corrosion protection coatings (ferrous products) with a full range of major zinc flake-based paint systems. We supply products from suppliers including Dörken, NOF, Geomet, Magni and Zintech. Robotic spray line and manual spray booths are used to maximise efficiency and flexibility.
    • Aesthetic/decorative coatings in epoxies, acrylics and polyurethane. These are supplied for a vast range of automotive, industrial and military applications. We are the only supplier also offering in-house logo screen-printing on brake calipers and other varied components.
    • Special coatings, including EMC/RFI shielded coatings, thermal or insulation coatings and a range of duplex coatings systems.
    • We are the only UK job coater offering Greenkote® thermal diffusion zinc coatings on to threaded components, castings and pressings. This provides a highly durable, corrosion-resistant coating which, when combined with top coats, can give salt spray performance in excess of 2,000 hours.

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.

EMI Shielding

Conductive coatings reduce EMI, ensuring reliable device performance across industrial, medical, and consumer applications.

Passivating

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

Powder Coatings

Durable, eco-friendly powder coatings resist damage, offer corrosion protection, and suit diverse industrial applications.

Thermal Diffusion

Thermal diffusion zinc coatings offer durable, eco-friendly corrosion protection for industrial and sustainable 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.

Accreditations

Anotec has vast experience and knowledge within the coatings sector, backed by a comprehensive array of relevant quality accreditations and awards.

IATF 16949

IATF 16949 is an international standard for quality management systems in the automotive industry. It builds on ISO 9001 but adds specific requirements tailored to automotive manufacturing and supply chains, focusing on defect prevention, continual improvement, and reducing variation and waste in the production process.

ISO 9001

ISO 9001, the internationally recognised standard for quality management systems (QMS), provides a framework for organisations to consistently deliver products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.

There is a strong emphasis on process improvement, customer satisfaction and risk-based thinking.

ISO 14001

ISO 14001 focuses on environmental management systems (EMS) and provides a structured framework that helps organisations identify, manage, monitor and improve their environmental performance.

The standard majors in reducing environmental impact, complying with regulations, and continually improving sustainability practices.

Cyber Essentials

The government-backed Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates that a company’s systems, processes and security controls meet the stringent standards required to guard against the most prevalent forms of cyberattack.

The certification is required by many businesses and manufacturers within the defence sector.
