Quality and Performance Surface Coatings

GFX has invested into new coating techniques including aliphatic polyurea top coating for heavy-duty and functional applications while providing favorable aesthetics. Investment has also begun on high-volume dielectric film application for specific EV components to meet the critical protection requirements associated with the assembly of high-voltage battery packs. Manufacturers often apply dielectric materials to various elements of battery cells, cooling plates, and adjacent components.
