Technochim

What we do: Technochim is a Belgian company specializing in mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical treatments of metallic surfaces, with a strong focus on stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium. Our services include degreasing, pickling, passivation, electro-polishing, mechanical polishing, shot blasting, and the application of nanostructure ceramic coatings. These treatments are designed to enhance corrosion resistance, improve surface finish, and prepare metals for further processes such as painting. We serve key industries, notably pharmaceuticals and life sciences, where the integrity and cleanliness of equipment are critical. Our expertise also extends to the chemical and electrochemical polishing of titanium and aluminum parts produced by additive manufacturing, as well as specialized cleaning processes for complex geometries. Technochim operates both in its own workshops in Ghislenghien, Belgium, and on-site at customer facilities, ensuring tailored solutions for each project[1][2].
