Poland: Warsaw-Capital

Overview

The Institute of Precision Mechanics carries out research in the area of corrosion protection, modern technologies and new materials, safety of machines exploitation, renewable energy, environmental protection, recycling and materials recovery using environmentally friendly technologies and research for the defense and security of the country. The Institute conducts research and implementation of modern and innovative technologies for surface protection through the use of various types of protective and functional metallic and non-metallic coatings, including ceramic and composite coatings, and also prepares dedicated temporary protection technologies against corrosion. Institute conducts also theoretical and practical trainings for industrial plants employees in the area of implementation and improvement of surface engineering technologies.
