Adhesion coating is a process in which a special layer—also known as a primer or adhesion promoter—is applied to a surface. This ensures that a subsequent layer adheres more effectively. The process is frequently used to achieve a durable and resilient bond between different materials, such as metal and rubber. GOTEC uses this process, for example, for automotive parts where rubber and metal components must remain permanently bonded.
GOTEC offers various pretreatment processes to optimally prepare surfaces for subsequent coating. These include degreasing, to remove residues and oils, as well as blasting, which mechanically roughens the surface. Phosphating is also used. This is a chemical treatment that provides better corrosion protection and adhesion. These steps create a clean and active surface to which subsequent layers can adhere reliably.
Zinc-nickel plating is an electroplating process in which a layer of zinc and nickel is applied to metal parts. It offers exceptionally high corrosion protection and is ideal for components exposed to harsh environmental or temperature conditions. GOTEC primarily uses this process on metal parts, vulcanization carriers, and rubber-to-metal joints to significantly increase their service life and durability.
GOTEC manages the entire process, from material procurement through production to delivery. All processes are standardized and automated, but can be adapted to meet individual customer requirements. This ensures quality, efficiency, and on-time delivery at every stage.
GOTEC ensures quality through standardized and automated processes, as well as a global quality management system. Several of its locations are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016. This enables the company to ensure consistently high production standards and reliable results.
GOTEC is committed to environmentally friendly and resource-efficient production. All processes are assessed for their environmental impact, and the company supports international projects focused on nature conservation and species protection. Several of its locations are certified according to ISO standards that also take environmental aspects into account, as is common in the industry—for example, with ISO 14001.
The GOTEC Group offers a variety of coating solutions, including adhesive coatings and surface finishes such as zinc-nickel coatings. These processes improve the durability, performance, and resistance of components—particularly in the automotive industry—and make GOTEC a reliable partner for high-quality surface technologies.
