At Advanced Technical Products, we understand that when it comes to high-performance industrial applications, durability and efficiency are critical. That’s why we specialize in Boron Nitride Coatings—an advanced solution designed to protect metals from extreme heat, oxidation, and wear.

In industries like foundry, forging, aluminum processing, and refractory, materials are subjected to intense conditions that can degrade their performance over time. Boron Nitride Coatings act as a protective barrier, enhancing lubrication, non-stick properties, and high-temperature resistance. In this article, we’ll explore how these coatings can improve metal performance and longevity, ultimately helping your operations run smoother and more efficiently.

What Makes Boron Nitride Coatings Unique?

Boron Nitride (BN) is a ceramic material known for its exceptional thermal stability, chemical inertness, and lubrication properties. When formulated into a coating, it provides:

1. High-Temperature Resistance

Our Boron Nitride Coatings withstand extreme temperatures, making them ideal for applications where metals are exposed to molten environments or high heat processing.

2. Superior Lubrication & Non-Wetting Properties

These coatings prevent materials from sticking to surfaces, which is especially useful in aluminum casting, forging, and glass manufacturing. Their excellent lubrication properties reduce friction and wear, extending the life of tools and equipment.

3. Anti-Oxidation & Corrosion Protection

Exposure to oxygen at high temperatures can cause metal surfaces to oxidize and degrade. Boron Nitride coatings form a protective barrier, preventing oxidation and ensuring long-term performance.

4. Chemical & Thermal Stability

BN coatings resist chemical reactions with metals, acids, and bases, making them a reliable solution for aggressive environments. Their ability to maintain performance under extreme heat ensures consistent, long-lasting protection.

Applications of Boron Nitride Coatings

1. Foundry & Metal Processing

BN coatings play a critical role in protecting molds, dies, and metal surfaces from excessive heat and material adhesion. They help prevent oxidation and improve casting quality.

2. Forging & Machining

In forging operations, BN coatings reduce die wear, enhance release properties, and improve process efficiency by minimizing material buildup.

3. Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Metals

Boron Nitride Coatings are widely used in aluminum processing due to their non-wetting properties, ensuring molten aluminum does not adhere to tools or molds.

4. Refractory Protection

BN coatings enhance the durability of refractory materials, providing erosion resistance and heat shielding in high-temperature applications.

Why Choose Advanced Technical Products?

At Advanced Technical Products, we take pride in delivering industry-leading protective coatings that help manufacturers maximize their efficiency, product quality, and equipment lifespan. Our custom-formulated Boron Nitride Coatings are designed to meet your exact needs, ensuring superior performance, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Industries Served

FORGING

FORGING INDUSTRY COATINGS

Advanced Technical Products' coatings can endure the intense heat the forging process requires. Oxy-Shield Coatings are advanced, water-based, non-hazardous and cost effective metal and graphite protection systems. They are formulated to protect metals and alloys from oxidizing or contaminating atmospheres at high temperatures for extended times. The coatings prevent the diffusion of gases.

FOUNDRY & CASTING

METAL CASTING INDUSTRY COATINGS

Foundries can be involved in many types of metal materials. One of the number one reasons companies from the Foundry industry choose Advanced Technical Products when they need superior coatings is that we have coatings that can withstand the extreme heat. When producing their metal products, all of our customers want and deserve only the best.

ALUMINUM

ALUMINUM INDUSTRY COATINGS

Companies who work with aluminum require coatings like ours to complete many different projects that come in all shapes and size. For aluminum products our Boron Nitride coatings have non-wetting and release properties for molten aluminum. One of the benefits of this type of coating is that it is cost-effective. This helps us pass along savings to our customers.

REFRACTORY

REFRACTORY INDUSTRY COATINGS

Our Boron Nitride coatings are perfect for resisting the same heat and pressure that refractories resist as well. These coatings have multiple advantages such as, water-based, cost-efficient, custom formulated, excellent for erosion resistance, etc. When it involves refractory metals, Advanced Technical Products has the expertise to complete the small and largescale coating projects.

TITANIUM

TITANIUM ALLOYS

ATP has formulated a variety of glass coatings that insulate, protect, and lubricate Titanium alloys at a wide temperature range. ATP coatings control the formation of alpha case, eliminate hydrogen penetration, and provide excellent lubrication during forging and extrusion processes.

NON-FERROUS METALS

NON-FERROUS METAL COATINGS

We work with non-ferrous such as, aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin, titanium and zinc, and alloys such as brass. This gives us the ability to provide services such as, High-Temperature Marking Paints & Stencils and Protective Coatings for controlling oxidation and decarburization to most companies in the Non-Ferrous Metals industry.

HEAT TREATING

HEAT TREATING

ATP provides cost effective water-based masking/stop-off coatings for a diverse range of Heat Treating processes including: gas-carburizing, gas-nitriding, carbo-nitriding, and annealing.

AEROSPACE

AEROSPACE

Advanced Technical Products services the aerospace industries in many different ways. From jet engine blades to seat brackets, ATP plays a crucial role in many parts of the airplane. ATP’s coatings aid in the precision forging process by lubricating and protecting the piece during the process. ATP’s coatings help where high-quality and reliable components are required.

WELDING AIDS

WELDING AIDS

ATP’s welding aids were developed in house and are a great welding aid. Our welding aids are water based and can be supplied aerosol cans or mechanical spray bottles. Our welding aids are cost-effective, environmentally friendly and great for many welding operations.
