StarGuard is guaranteed to last longer. Our Encapsulation Process uses emerging thermal spray technologies to apply extreme wear and/or corrosion resistance to your injection molding feed screws. The entire screw surface is coated, including the root, flight sides and flight lands – so there’s no additional chrome plating, flame hardening or nitriding necessary. No chrome plating, flame hardening or nitriding required. Backed by a Double-Life Warranty.*
StarGuard provides:
- Crack-free and porosity-free protection
