General Magnaplate Canada Ltd., Ajax, ON

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. Over half a century ago, scientists were seeking solutions 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. NASA's requirement for new, permanent, functional coatings led them to General Magnaplate's proprietary engineered coatings that could withstand the rigors of outer space. Today these coatings are used not only in space but for such "down-to-earth" applications as reduction of abrasion and erosion. Also—the elimination of galvanic corrosion in molds used to form plastic parts; solder-spatter-rejection on double wall copper tubing machines; the huge boring machines used to dig the England/France "Chunnel; " protecting the metal surfaces of gas lasers from corrosive gases; and heat sinks on mainframe computers, to name but a few of thousands of applications.
