Precision Coating of Boston, Massachusetts, has acquired Boyd Coatings Research, a provider of coating application services based in Hudson, Massachusetts. Together they will provide extensive and complementary fluoropolymer (Teflon/PTFE) application services to the medical device and highly engineered components markets.
Having developed proven coating processes for thousands of unique parts for over 50 years, company officials say each company has earned the trust of customers by providing expertise and exceptional service. They say combining the companies creates a platform to deliver quality, service, and coating application capabilities that exceed any vendor in the fluoropolymer coating space, with the strength to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of the global medical device market.
The company will be headquartered in Hudson, Massachusetts, and customer contacts will remain the same.
“We will combine and leverage the best practices from each organization to deliver an unmatched level of service and customer focus for current and future customers," said Bob DeAngelis, President of PCCI. "Key initiatives include expanded automated coating capacity, enhanced organizational capabilities with an increased focus on engineering and quality, including PTFE formulation, and opening a coating facility in Costa Rica for our international customers.”
“We think our customers will share our excitement as we strengthen our product offerings," said BCR’s President Dick Downey, who will act as Chief Integration Officer. "The combined company will establish a global R&D center in the Hudson facility to accelerate advances in coating deposition control and related capabilities.”

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 12th Quarterly Report
This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the 12th quarter of project work (October – December 2023) at the University of Georgia. In our previous report, we described our work on performance and effect of surface fluorinated Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation in reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) mode. This quarter, our experiments involved utilizing porous Ti4O7 plates serving both as anodes and membranes. Tests compared pristine and F-18.6 Ti4O7 anodes at current densities of 10 mA/cm2 and 40 mA/cm2. This 12th quarterly report discusses the mechanisms of the effects on EO performance by anode surface fluorination.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 10th Quarterly Report
The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board selected a project addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams. This report covers the 10th quarter of work (April-June 2023). Here, we examine the effect of surface fluorination of Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation performance in terms of energy performance as well as formation of chlorate and perchlorate when chloride is present in the solution. The full paper on this work can be accessed and printed at short.pfonline.com/NASF24Feb2.
