TESTIMONIALS

I cannot thank you enough for all of your help. I can honestly say I have never had a finishing vendor, whether it be heat treating, plating or any other service, who was as helpful as you were. The education you gave me thru our discussions and your literature has made me very confident in my knowledge of this process and how I can leverage it to make a superior product.

The parts we had made worked great. Our customer is very excited about it and has gone as far to say they are the best parts available on the market. He loved the fact that it welded perfectly even with the plating on the areas where heat was applied. The fact that we didn’t need to mask these and could pass that savings on to our customer is a perk I wasn’t even aware of when choosing this plating. Thank you for giving me that insight. You have made a life long customer and I will be sending you the upcoming production run of these in the next month or so as well as any other job I have that you provide a service for.

After years of trying various coatings on the surface of IKS blades, coatings such as Teflon, Carbide, Chrome, Titanium Nitride and similar substrate enhancements, we found these coatings cannot equal the benefits of EXO Coating, a patented, military-proven Nickel Boron (NiB) Technology. This unique coating delivers a permanently lubricious surface, which eliminates the need for messy wet lubricants, and also creates a surface that is harder than the substrate itself. Most importantly, we have found EXO coating will remain on the blade surface for the life of the tool, with no peeling or flaking, which is a pervasive characteristic of other coatings.

IKS delivers superior quality blades to our customers and upon request, add value to their purchase by offering the best coating technology on the market, EXO Coating!
