Oxfordshire-based Hardide applies tungsten carbide coatings by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) to a wide range of steel, alloy and other material components.
The patented technology uniquely combines abrasion and corrosion resistance in one coating and is proven to offer dramatic cost savings through reduced downtime and extended component life across sectors including oil and gas, aerospace, valve and pump manufacture.
The company is currently setting up its first international manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas.
The 1600m2 facility represents a $5 million investment and is currently under construction.
