The Purpose of Packaging Coatings
The right packaging is fundamental for safeguarding products during storage and transportation across myriad industries—from food processing to medical and pharmaceutical. Armoloy specialized coatings are tailored to provide exceptional protection against corrosion, abrasion, and temperature variations, addressing common challenges in packaging environments.
Moreover, Armoloy packaging coatings enhance product preservation and cost efficiency by minimizing damage and extending shelf life. Adherence to industry-specific standards, such as ASTM D3359, along with USDA and FDA approval, guarantees that packaging coatings meet rigorous quality and performance criteria, making them indispensable for modern packaging applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Components coated with Armoloy TDC are 100% safe for workers and end users. Plated components are used extensively in the food and drug industry, and routinely certified for REACH and RoHS compliance. In addition, Armoloy invests heavily in the newest technology to help ensure the safety of our employees and communities. For more information, learn about the misconceptions of chromium coatings.
While thin dense chrome (TDC) and hard chrome are both considered functional coatings, TDC differs from traditional hard chrome in the thickness and surface texture. TDC coatings are in the range of 0.0001 to 0.0005”, while traditional hard chrome is usually over 0.002”, and can measure 0.010” or more, depending on the application. Because of the very low effective thickness, thin dense chrome can often be applied to existing designs without affecting tolerances or fit-up. In addition, traditional hard chrome has a microcracked surface while TDC has a micronodular surface. Both provide a low wear surface, but the micronodular texture can provide superior lubrication retention and wear resistance. Decorative chrome is another coating entirely and is actually a multilayer coating applied to provide an attractive, shiny surface with good corrosion resistance.
Certification to many industry and supplier specifications is available, including AMS 2438 and AMS 2460, depending on the location. In addition, the Armoloy network has fulfillment centers with Quality Management Systems accredited to NADCAP, ISO 9001, and AS9100 requirements.
