Excellence Engineered for Performance

Calico’s surface technologies and products are innovated for industries that require the highest levels of performance.

"They put out a superior product with exceptional quality—and whenever there’s a mistake, they take care of it immediately. I judge and recommend a company based on how well they do their job and how they handle the 'whoopsies' that happen in everyday business. These guys are now my #1 go-to and my top recommendation."

Geoff S.

"The Calico team is amazing and cannot praise them enough for their help. I’d like to give a shoutout for their fantastic communication, especially to Kelly, on making our specific needs happen in a tight timeline. Recommending to others, 10/10."

Innovative Solutions That Maximize Performance and Durability

Superfinishing / Microfinishing

A surface treatment that creates a smoother and more uniform surface by knocking down surface peaks and creating a more uniform finish.

Microfinishing

Dry Film Lubricants

A thin, bonded coating that reduces friction and abrasive wear by providing intermittent dry lubrication and is not affected by dust or dirt.

DLC Coatings

A combination of PVD and PECVD technology, offering extreme hardness from diamond-like crystals and lubricity from graphite structures.

PVD & PECVD Coatings

Precision-engineered for extreme durability, providing enhanced wear resistance, friction resistance, hardness, and corrosion protection across a variety of industrial applications.

PVD Coatings

Teflon™ Fluoropolymer

Delivers exceptional non-stick and low-friction properties, improving performance in high-temperature and chemical-resistant environments.

Product Fixture

Manganese Phosphate

A crucial pretreatment that enhances adhesion, improves corrosion resistance, and reduces friction in moving components.

Product Fixture

Tribology Testing

We ensure your coatings deliver optimal wear resistance and friction performance by precisely analyzing surface interactions to develop durable solutions that extend component life and reliability.
