Quality Metal Coatings & Finishes
With Aluminum coatings and finishes from POLY-METAL FINISHING INC. in Springfield, Massachusetts, you can protect the Aluminum Alloy surfaces of your aerospace, military and commercial product(s). From pre-bonding applications to anodic coatings, let PMF service your needs.
Specializing in Poly-Lube
In 1964, our founder developed a unique Poly-Lube process to enhance the properties of aluminum alloys. Poly-Lube is more than a metal Teflon™ coating or finish. It actually becomes an integral part of the coating.
The metal's new surface is self-curing and self-lubricating with low friction, high corrosion resistance, and dielectric properties superior to hard coat anodizing. Additionally, this metal coating adds to the life of your aluminum parts dramatically, as it controls rust and the oxidation process.

Poly-Lube Utilizes AMS / MIL Specifications & Individual Customer Specifications
• AMS2482 |
• MIL-A-63576 |
• SVHS5031 |
• F50TF7 |
Alloys
Poly-Lube processing can only be applied to aluminum alloys. Although most aluminum alloys can be processed, those with a low copper content (less than 3.5%) and a low silicon content (less than 5%) are recommended.
We've found the best results occur on 6061, 2024, and 7075 wrought alloys, 355 and 356 cast alloys.

Dissimilar Materials
Aluminum parts, which have dissimilar materials installed in them such, as steel helicoils, bushings, and dowel pins should not be installed prior to processing. Our professionals also offer intricate masking using the best available techniques, but this type of processing can only be done at your risk.
