Development of custom surface coatings and hybrid materials for wear, corrosion and heat protection
ISO-TEC Isfahani-Oberflächen-Technologie
Gerlingen (Baden-Württemberg)New on Amplifa
Development and series from a single source
ISO-TEC Isfahani-Oberflächen-Technologie, based in Gerlingen near Stuttgart, develops custom coating solutions and novel material combinations for problem and key components. The company combines materials-science expertise with a product portfolio covering wear protection, corrosion protection, sealing technology, heat protection, electrical insulation and microstructure surfaces. The developed solutions are realized in cooperation with coating specialist IWOT GmbH, from lot size 1 through to series production – with layer thicknesses from 1 µm via tenths up to several millimeters. The service portfolio includes PVD, VMI and thermal spraying processes using ceramics, special metals and hard metals, mechanical pre- and post-machining (turning, grinding, diamond grinding) as well as the manufacture of precision parts from solid ceramics. Customers come, among others, from mechanical engineering, the parquet industry, dentistry, motorsport, electric motor manufacturing and battery production. ISO-TEC and IWOT GmbH are certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015; the delivery time is approximately two to three weeks depending on quantity and effort.
