🛢️ From Rig Downtime to Profit Recovery

How Brush Plating Saves Time for Threading Companies



In the oil and gas industry, time is money — and nowhere is this truer than in the threading and machining of oilfield tubulars, connections, and accessories. Every hour lost waiting for external coating or plating vendors can mean missed deadlines, delayed shipments, or rig downtime that costs thousands of dollars per day.


That is why an increasing number of threading companies and OCTG manufacturers are now bringing Brush Plating technology in-house — and seeing major improvements in turnaround time, cost control, and profitability.


At Sterling Impreglon Asia, we help companies worldwide set up and operate their own in-house Brush Plating systems for anti-galling copper plating on premium and non-premium connections. The results are transformative — faster delivery, consistent quality, and stronger customer confidence.
 

⚡ The Solution

Sterling’s Brush Plating Installation Package allows threading and machine shops to perform their own anti-galling copper plating directly within their facility.

The system is compact, portable, and easy to integrate into existing production lines — without the need for large tanks, heavy infrastructure, or special ventilation systems.


 
🧪 Proven Anti-Galling Performance

Our proprietary Brush Plating process has been qualified and recognized by all major OCTG and oil-tool manufacturers, including VAM, Tenaris, JFE, Hunting, OMS, and many others for anti-galling applications.


The process applies a uniform layer of pure copper onto the thread surface, providing:

  • Excellent anti-galling and anti-seizing protection during make-up and break-out cycles
  • Superior adhesion strength — plating does not peel or flake
  • Consistent torque and connection integrity


Each system comes with
technical training, qualification guidance, and operational support, ensuring your staff can perform plating safely, correctly, and in compliance with OEM standards.
