Protective coatings and surface engineering
4 European H2020 organizations list this as part of their work — 3 as their primary capability.
Most active in this area
- TENNECO AUTOMOTIVE EUROPE BVBA
Tier 1 automotive supplier contributing chassis, suspension, and electrified powertrain expertise to EU vehicle electrification and autonomous driving research.
“PROCETS received their largest single grant (EUR 835K) for protective composite coatings via electrodeposition and thermal spraying — directly relevant to component durability.”
BE11 projects - BORIT NV
Belgian manufacturer of precision metal components for hydrogen fuel cells and solid oxide systems, specializing in interconnects and protective coatings.
“LOWCOST-IC keywords include physical vapor deposition, reactive oxidative bonding, and protective coatings — core surface treatment processes BORIT applied to steel interconnects.”
PrimaryBE2 projects - TEKNISKA HOGSKOLAN I JONKOPING AB
Swedish engineering school specialising in protective coatings, electrodeposition, thermal spraying, and multi-scale corrosion science for industrial applications.
“Both PROCETS (electrodeposition and thermal spraying) and mCBEEs (long-term corrosion durability) centre on surface protection — this is the clearest thread in their H2020 portfolio.”
PrimarySE2 projects - FALEX TRIBOLOGY NV
Belgian tribology SME offering friction, wear, and surface coating testing with EU-funded research and dedicated application center experience.
“PROCETS (2016-2019) focused on protective composite coatings via electrodeposition and thermal spraying, where Falex contributed their surface testing expertise.”
