Engineered Coatings For High-Volume Automotive Manufacturing
Release, Protection, And Throughput—Built For The Line
E.L. Stone finishes support automotive production from mold to final assembly. Our coatings improve release on complex tools, reduce wear and corrosion on metal components, and help critical parts—from battery terminals to quick-connect fuel fittings—perform reliably through heat, vibration, and continuous use.
High-release, low-build coatings for adhesive and resin tools used in interior trim
Wear- and heat-resistant finishes for rubber tooling and anti-vibration component molds
Corrosion-resistant, anti-galling treatments for fuel-system hardware and quick-connects
Optical-tooling surface prep and coatings for headlight/taillight lens clarity
Durable, clean-release coatings for headliner and tire molds (including retreading)
Conductive/anti-corrosion finishes to protect battery terminals and related hardware
Tough coatings for tough conditions. That’s the E.L. Stone promise.
Common applications:
Tooling for automotive interiors to aid adhesive and material release in high-volume production
Tooling for rubber anti-vibration components (mounts, bushings, isolators)
Valve-stem cover manufacturing fixtures and tooling
Headliner molds and trim tools
Tooling for headlight and taillight lens production
Quick-connect fueling components for assembly and service
Tooling for fuel tanks and associated parts
Battery terminals requiring long-term anti-corrosion protection
Tooling for tire molding and retreading
