Armoloy coatings enhance pump performance by providing exceptional wear resistance, corrosion protection, and low friction on critical parts like shafts, impellers, sleeves, wear rings, plungers, and bearings. These benefits help reduce internal leakage, minimize abrasive wear, and extend the service life of components operating under high loads or in chemically aggressive environments.

The Purpose of Pump Coatings
Pump coatings provide a hard, wear-resistant surface that protects against abrasion, extending the lifespan of pumps handling abrasive fluids and materials. Additionally, Armoloy coatings offer excellent resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for pumps exposed to corrosive substances like chemicals, seawater, or sewage.
The smooth surface of these coatings reduces friction between moving parts, enhancing pump efficiency by lowering energy consumption and minimizing heat generation.
By protecting critical components from wear and corrosion, Armoloy coatings significantly reduce maintenance frequency and the likelihood of unexpected failures, leading to less downtime and lower maintenance costs. This ensures continuous and reliable operation of the pumps.
Moreover, these coatings are suitable for pumps used in harsh environments, such as those handling petrochemicals, food products, or air and gas in vacuum systems, ensuring they can withstand demanding conditions without compromising performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Armoloy coatings are ideal for pumps exposed to slurries, saltwater, acids, solvents, or particulate-laden fluids. Their dense, hard surface protects against pitting, erosion, and chemical degradation, even in continuous-duty applications. This makes them especially valuable in chemical processing, mining, desalination, and wastewater treatment operations.
Not at all. Armoloy coatings are applied at controlled thicknesses as low as 0.00005″ and maintain excellent uniformity across complex geometries. This allows them to protect mating surfaces and rotating components without altering engineered tolerances, ensuring compatibility with precision pump assemblies and helping maintain hydraulic efficiency.
