Who is GGB
Our passion fuels groundbreaking advancements that enhance human potential. By collaborating closely from the early design stages, we push beyond conventional surface engineering solutions, developing tailored, high-performance technologies. Built on a foundation of trust, determination, and respect, we cultivate strong partnerships that inspire creativity, foster collaboration, and deliver exceptional results.
Although polymer coating technologies have been widely employed in corrosion protection of component surfaces and other applications, recent advances that deliver improved tribological properties are creating opportunities to meet these challenges and help revolutionize component design and manufacturing.
At GGB, we aren’t afraid to take risks for our customers and take pride in working closely with customers in the early stage of a design to think broadly and boldly—to expand beyond traditional surface engineered solutions. Offering partnerships based on trust, compassion, determination, collaboration and respect, we work to push the boundaries of possibility, inspiring customers across all markets to partner and innovate alongside us.
In any project, considering tribological requirements as early as possible in the system design process is critical to ensuring optimal performance. This allows you to take full advantage of part shape to minimize the number of components and maximize service life. We employ a global team of application engineering specialists and materials scientists that can assist in the early stages of the product design to identify ways for the right tribological solution to yield size, weight, efficiency and performance enhancements in the final assembly.
We know there's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to efficiency. That's why we're always looking for new ways to tailor our products to meet a wide variety of applications—and these efforts are routinely met with outstanding results. Here are a few industries we've adapted our solutions for:
GGB TriboShield® coatings are specifically formulated to be self-lubricating and provide the full range of thermal, mechanical and tribological possibilities that today's polymers can offer.
Offers burr-free application to meet stringent cleanliness requirements and are used in door hinges, convertible roof mechanisms, steering and seating systems.
TriboShield® coatings are versatile enough to provide tribological solutions in a wide variety of applications, from cranes, transportation chains, and solenoids to baby strollers and medical devices (such as dialysis pumps, display mounts, and more).
GGB is the only true global one-stop solution provider of tribological coatings, covering the full cycle from materials science, formulation, tribological expertise, coating production and coating application.
GGB can offer development and design expertise, apply and supply fully finished coated solutions, all with a global reach.
Provide tailored friction levels for many complex shaped surfaces that traditional cylindrical bearings cannot access—allowing for a more simplistic design that employs fewer parts.
Work with steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and magnesium. Polymer coatings can be considered for polymeric and composite substrates, too.
Feature exceptional chemical and corrosion protection, offering a barrier of inert material between surfaces to extend longevity.
Collaborate with our expert team to tailor our polymer coatings to the unique needs of your applications.
Incorporate solid lubricants to deliver self-lubricity that can help reduce and sometimes eliminate the need for additional lubrication in machine parts.
With high toxicity levels, high costs, and more bans likely coming in the next decade —chemical conversion coatings are becoming a thing of the past. GGB TriboShield® polymer coatings can be an effective, environmental-friendly solution. Contact your local Application Engineer.
