Injection Molding & Advance Coating Applications
Injection molded. Precision coated. Built for performance.
Performance Coatings delivers injection-molded and precision-coated polycarbonate components under one roof — helping automotive and power sports OEMs reduce risk, scrap, and total program cost.
By integrating molding, advanced surface preparation, and automated coating in a HEPA controlled environment, we support high-visibility applications where consistency and cleanliness are non-negotiable.
Built for OEM Requirements
Automotive programs demand control, repeatability, and proven results.
Performance Coatings was purpose-built to meet the highest expectations by eliminating supplier handoffs and managing the entire process in-house. The result is tighter quality control, faster launches, and fewer defects.

One Integrated Supply Chain
Most injection molders outsource coating. That introduces variability, handling damage, and unnecessary cost. We don’t.
We mold and coat clear polycarbonate parts within feet of each other using dedicated equipment and controlled environments — delivering tighter process control, faster ramp-ups, and fewer quality escapes.

CO₂ Cleaning: A Critical Quality Advantage
Polycarbonate and PMMA substrates attract static, particulates, and light oils — all of which can create visible defects in thin, clear coatings. To eliminate this risk, we integrate CO₂ cleaning technology directly into the automated line. Pre-Configuration and dedicated robotic paths optimized for individual needs.
Why it matters:
- Dry, chemical-free surface preparation
- Instant cleaning and drying in a single step
- Mechanical, thermal, and solvent-like action removes contaminants
- Reduced rework and higher first-pass yields
This integrated approach consistently supports premium surface requirements while minimizing waste and downtime.
The One-Stop Advantage for OEMs
By consolidating molding and finishing, we help our customers:
- Reduce total program cost
- Improve yield and quality consistency
- Shorten supply chains
- Minimize launch risk
