  3. Partnered Facilities – Surface Treatment

At Marcus Hi-Tech Engineering, our precision casting and machining capabilities are enhanced through collaboration with world-class surface treatment partner facilities, in addition to our in-house surface treatment facility.

Our partners provide a complete range of protective and decorative finishing solutions — including powder coating, anodising, plating, wet painting, and e-coat — to deliver high-performance components with superior durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.

Powder Coating

✓High-quality, durable finish with resistance to impact, abrasion, and corrosion
✓Available in a wide range of colours and textures
✓Eco-friendly alternative to conventional wet paints

Anodising

✓Enhanced corrosion resistance for aluminium components
✓Increased surface hardness and resistance to wear
✓Options for decorative finishes in different colours

Plating (Electroplating & Electroless)

✓Nickel plating: superior wear and corrosion resistance
✓Chrome plating: decorative, durable finish with high resistance to tarnish
✓Other coatings: silver, zinc, and specialty plating available

Painting & Coating

✓Wet painting and spray painting — versatile for automotive, appliances, and industrial components
✓E-coat (electrophoretic coating) — uniform coating with excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance
✓Custom finishes to meet OEM specifications

Specialised Treatments

✓Shot blasting and bead blasting — adhesion preparation and final surface refinement
✓Vibro polishing — smooth finishing on intricate parts
✓Resin impregnation — sealing porous castings to improve leak resistance
✓Chromation / conversion coating — corrosion protection and paint adhesion
