Company Profile: Armoloy (UK) Ltd

The “Armoloy” process was originally developed in the United States over 50 years ago as a specialised protection for a wide range of tools and components and has been available in the UK for over 20 years, via the licensee Armoloy (UK) Ltd, a recent recruit to the BVAA.

Today, the process is being used across many different industries and in a wide variety of applications. Unlike some processes that coat onto a substrate, Armoloy “Thin Dense Chromium” (TDC) permeates and bonds with the base material to give a totally integrated “micronodular” surface. The specially integrated coating provides a finish that is hard, smooth, clean and extremely resilient, providing a wide variety of benefits.

Armoloy is essentially a cold process - temperatures do not rise above that of hot water so we have no problems with distortion. A significant benefit for many of our customers is that we operate to finished tolerances - no additional machining is required after we have completed the processing.

Armoloy (UK) Ltd is the UK licensee for the process and we serve an international customer base that extends through Europe to the Middle East and beyond. We operate from a purpose designed plant centrally located in the West Midlands, UK and our operations are accredited to ISO9001, AS9100 Rev C and NADCAP (Chemical Processing).

Armoloy coatings have assisted man in reaching the Moon, harvest from beneath the seabed in remote locations and helped pack ice cream. Our regular markets include Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Machine Tool, Food, Pharmaceutical and Medical, Chemical and a range of other industries. We hold numerous approvals and work to specifications agreed with many of the world’s blue chip companies.
