Description
General Magnaplate Corporation is both a pioneer and a world leader in the science of surface enhancement for metals and other substrates. Whether in the harsh environments of outer space or on factory floors across the globe, Magnaplate-applied "synergistic" coatings transform low-performance, plentiful and inexpensive metal parts into corrosion-resistant, chemical-resistant, super-hard, dry-lubricated products that last longer, are more cost-efficient, and perform faster.
A "Spin-off" from Space
Magnaplate coatings had their beginnings 50 years ago when scientists sought answers to new problems arising from the performance of metals in outer space. Existing coatings could not fill the requirements for long-term, fail-safe protection. Conventional protective coatings or lubricants actually "boiled" away in the vacuum of space. New, permanent, integral, functional coatings had to be developed. In the 1950s and '60s, these requirements led to Magnaplate's development of "synergistic" surface enhancements for a broad spectrum of metals.
Working closely with NASA, Dr. Charles P. Covino, founder of General Magnaplate, created a wide variety of coatings for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. As a result, every American space vehicle since NASA began has included thousands of individual parts coated by Magnaplate. These include cameras, telemetry equipment, drills, fuel valves, landing struts, protective shrouds, seat tracks, frames, doors and windows, latches and hinges. In addition — space suits and EVA components, toilets, the moon vehicle itself, and the drill and soil sampler used to bring moon rocks back to earth.
