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.

Capabilities

  • Dedicated Engel injection molding presses (770-, 340-, and 180-ton)

  • Equipment reserved exclusively for clear polycarbonate or PMMA components

  • Immediate transition from molding to coating — no external handling

  • Quick tool change capabilities

Advanced Automated Finishing Line

Our custom-built finishing line was engineered to functions as two lines in one, supporting both UV and thermal curing technologies— without downtime or major reconfiguration.

Capabilities

Smart Conveyor System

  • RFID-enabled pallets with dynamic recipe control
  • Mixed production runs without stopping the line
  • Selective routings and pre-engineered processes

Controlled Clean Environment

  • HEPA-filtered tunnel enclosures
  • Near Class 100 clean-room conditions
  • Particle removal down to 0.2 microns

Robotic Coating Precision

  • Dedicated Basecoat and Anti-fog water wash down draft booth
  • Dedicated Clear and UV hard coat water wash down draft booth
  • Streamlined quick change coating applicators
  • Integrated digital 1K and 2K fluid management with integrated process logging
  • HEPA filtered booths and tunnels
  • Highly repeatable robotic application for tight tolerances
  • FANUC offline programming for on-the-fly changes and cycle time analysis prior to part arrival.

Coating Technologies

  • Industry leading suppliers offering premier high performance coating solutions
  • Hard Coating; UV or Thermal applications
  • Hydrophobic, Clear Thermal Conductive,
  • Conventional Urethane or Acrylic platforms

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
