C3 Industrial

C3 Industrial's award-winning "MIST" technology improves the performance of industrial tools

MIST is a patented thin-film surface treatment which offers reduced wear/abrasion, reduces or eliminates corrosion/oxidation, reduces the co-efficient of friction between two metals and reduces soldering and heat checking in industrial applications.

C3 Industrial's exclusive right to the use of MIST technology places it in a unique position to offer increased tool and machine life, thus reducing costs and maintenance time. In many cases, C3 Industrial's custom engineered solutions have increase the life of tools by more than 10 times.

Molten Aluminum Attack

Ordinarily, after just 91 production cycles, a 1010 steel thermocouple sheath must be removed from production. A sheath coated with just one of C3's many coating options using MIST technology, however, sees a 8x life extension.

Breakthrough Technology for Petroleum Processing

Cutting Tool Life

A cutting tool infused with a nano-film of ZrO2 using C3’s patented MIST technology typically lasts 10x longer than an untreated tool. How can such a thin layer produce such astounding results?

Foundry Ladle Durability

In an aluminum foundry, casting ladles made from 440 stainless steel are coated with ceramic paint at the beginning of each work day to protect them. Using one of its many MIST coatings C3 found its coating lasted 40x longer than the ceramic coating.
