Marine Coatings

Our Marine coatings are specifically made to address diesel soot staining on vessels with painted surfaces. Diesel soot staining can be a chromic time consuming issue for many vessels. Stained vessels require polishing and will stain immediately once back in service.
Our sealers and clearcoats are applied on top and made cleanup possible with soap and water.Additionally, they provide a high gloss finish and are very durable. They can restore some paints to a high gloss finish often better than the paint when new.They also form a durable sacrificial layer that takes all the punishment such a hawser and fender scratching. The coating can be selectively removed without abrasion and quickly applied again. The paint beneath is untouched and original paint finish is preserved.Click on the links below for professional application of these coatings.

Automotive Coatings

Sealants are particularly effective at re-sealing automotive paint post-polishing. Polishing can rip a flat paint surface and expose it to environmental attack and degradation. Similarly UV weathering can cause chalking and fading. This degraded surface is often restored by sanding and polishing. Sealants are an easy and economical way of closing that ripped surface. Once sealed water and dirt is excluded from the paint surface, preventing further degradation.Sealants also impart long lasting gloss and hydrophobicity. They are more durable than waxes and are paint shop compatible.We have two variants for this application. AF-3 and AF-5.AF-3 Ceramic Sealant is an easy to apply product with great gloss and durability. It is used worldwide by number of our clients as a pre-delivery paint protection product for new car sales. It is based on a polysilazane - polydimethylsiloxane resin system that is durable yet flexible. It has a service life of around 2 years. It is a one part moisture cure system. AF-3 is best used in urban application as it's easy-clean properties allow diesel soot and pollution streaking cleanup.AF-5 is a epoxy-silane sealant. It has excellent adhesion and durability on clearcoats and GRP surfaces. It is very abrasion resistant and has a long service life. It is a 2K system (it uses a hardener) and is more demanding to apply than the AF-3, but has superior chemical resistance, UV stability and longevity than the AF-3. It is ideal for commercial and rural vehicles.

Aviation Coatings

Our Aviation coatings are diiferentiated from our marine and automotive to address specific aviation challenges. These include:
- Resilience to extreme temperature range (-40 to 40 deg C) and shorter UV wavelengths (313nm to 340nm) experienced at higher altitudes.
- De-icing chemical resistance.
- High Flash point for hanger safety.
- Aviation certification for Boeing, Airbus, Gulfstream, SAE, MD and others on request.

Metal Polishes

Our metal Polishing based on premium engineered aluminium oxide grades.Rather than choosing abrasives that have been sieved to a tight size range, we engineer a mixture of grades to pack the polishing interface with as many cutting points as physically possible. This maximises cut.For fastest cut we also have a number of oil based/ water free compounds. Some metals form very hard oxides.For example, aluminium metal is soft, but the oxide is very hard. If you polish with a water or emulsion based product the aluminium forms a hard oxide skin each time you remove any dull metal. With our products, the oil carrier excludes oxygen, preventing oxidation. The polishing is done on only soft ductile metal so the polishing effect is easier, and the resulting gloss is superior.This effect is also present with copper, brass, mild and stainless steel, ect.

Legacy Metal finishing and processing Products

Metal polishes once made up the core of our business. We specialised in solid bar compounds used by professional polishers with a buff and pedestal polishing machine. Cutlery, pot & pans, and even the kitchen sink was finished this way. Manufacturing of this type has since migrated away from Australia. However, we still have the expertise and hundreds of legacy formulations of this type on file. We also often the ingredients to make them we stock. If you have a specific application let us know. These could include:
-Vibratory finishing compounds.
-Solid bar compounds for buffing.
-Glass grinding and finishing.
-Cutting and grinding oils.
-Eutectic Braising fluxes for aluminium.
- Liquid finishing and cutting compounds for automated and robotic finishing.

Polishing Compound and pads

We are re-developing our compound range for changing application. Please see the table below for application.

Established in 1968, we originally traded as Ferro Chemical Services, manufacturing electroplating supplies, polishes, abrasives and a myriad of other products.Discovering a passion for adopting the latest technology, and with expertise in the marine and aviation industry, we decided to diversify. Our aim has always been to craft innovative products that improve and redefine industry processes.We apply our technical proficiency to develop and manufacture coatings for the marine, automotive and aviation industries. Located in the northern rivers of New South Wales in Australia, we like to incorporate the newest and emerging materials and technologies into our unique products. Our goal is to discover new and more straightforward ways of doing things to achieve superior resultsOur offices are at:Unit 2 / 41 Holland St
