We're thrilled to be part of something bigger. ✈️
Indestructible Paint is one of the partners on the EcoSuite project — an ATI Programme initiative, supported by the Aerospace Technology Institute, the Department for Business and Trade and Innovate UK, to develop the next generation of sustainable Business and First Class aircraft seats.
Our role: developing an innovative in-mould priming process using our IP1130 primer, which means lighter parts, fewer process steps, and a more sustainable end result. We’ll also be providing topcoats to complete the system. Proud to be flying alongside Safran, and a fantastic consortium of UK aerospace innovators. 🇬🇧

We’re delighted to share some wonderful news! Our former Managing Director, Brian Norton, has been awarded the BCF Silver Medal by the British Coatings Federation — their highest honour — in recognition of his outstanding service to the coatings industry.🎖

Brian retired earlier this year after a remarkable career at Indestructible Paint, and this award is a fitting tribute to everything he has contributed over the years.

Congratulations, Brian — thoroughly deserved! 👏

🔬 Chrome-free protection. Enhanced performance.
CFIPAL, our fully chrome-free diffused aluminide coating, continues to raise the bar for gas turbine hot-section protection.

Developed for nickel-based turbine alloys operating up to 1000°C, our CFIPAL formulation delivers improved oxidation resistance, greater high-temperature stability, and a refined microstructure that produces cleaner, thinner diffusion layers with fewer defects — extending component life across aerospace and industrial gas turbine applications.

Multi-layer coating capability and a stable aluminide oxide scale mean better protective performance where it matters most.
Approved by a major aero engine manufacturer and leading power generation OEM, with further qualifications in progress.
No hexavalent chrome. No compromise.

When performance and reliability matter in power generation, coating technology plays a critical role.

Our CFIPTELXPRO coating is engineered as a high-performance, chrome-free sealcoat designed to protect compressor components operating in demanding environments. With its smooth, erosion-resistant finish and strong resistance to dirt pick-up, it helps maintain aerodynamic efficiency where it counts most.

This makes it an ideal solution for gas turbines used in power generation, where compressor efficiency and durability directly impact output and maintenance cycles.

From aerospace heritage to power generation performance, CFIPTELXPRO continues to deliver proven protection where it matters most.

The transition to chrome-free coating systems is no longer theoretical — it’s a technical challenge the industry is actively working through.
In high-temperature aerospace applications, the difficulty has always been maintaining corrosion resistance and coating integrity without relying on hexavalent chrome systems.

At Indestructible Paint, we’ve been developing chrome-free solutions such as CFIPAL and CFIPCOTE to address this directly.

CFIPAL is designed for high-temperature environments, providing oxidation and corrosion resistance on aero engine components while maintaining stability under cyclic thermal loading.

CFIPCOTE complements this with a chrome-free system focused on durable corrosion protection, supporting long-term performance where environmental resistance is critical.

Chrome-free systems can meet the required performance standards but only with the right formulation approach, testing, and validation.
