Glass
SentesBIR provides high performance products for the glass industry. We continue to innovate products which help glass manufacturers achieve performance levels by extending the life of critical parts and performance, and by reducing contamination.
Manufacturers of glass components require elevated temperatures to 'work' the glass. The heat and the abrasive nature of molten glass cause wear on many components. ForteCoat products are used on mould edges to prevent such wear and therefore maximise production efficiencies.
Glass mould parts where ForteCoat powders are used:
- Plungers
- Narrow neck plungers
- Mould
- Mould neck
- Mould base
- Funnel
- Bottom mould
- Bottom plate
- Ring
- Sealer
- Baffle
- Blow head
- Guide ring
- Neckring
- Holders, support
- Repair of mould

Plastic & Rubber
Plastic and rubber production parts are subjected to a combination of corrosion and abrasive wear that can quickly eat away ordinary materials. ForteCoat nickel and cobalt alloys help to reduce metal to metal wear and improve performance, tight running clearances and corrosive environments.
Automotive
ForteCoat provides wear solutions for a number of other, broader transportation-related applications, such as automotive valves.
Petrochemical and Chemical
In chemical and petrochemical industry main wear causes are corrosion and erosion.
