Next-Generation Coatings. Unrivaled Protection. Proven Performance.
Tri-Star Industries Pte Ltd is proud to be the first licensed manufacturer of NanoGalv® by Modumetal, and the preferred supplier of NanoGalv®-coated fasteners across Asia and Australia. Our strategic partnership with Modumetal brings cutting-edge nanolaminated alloy technology to industries that demand superior corrosion protection, mechanical integrity, and service longevity.
Through years of close collaboration with global EPCs, asset owners, and standards organizations, NanoGalv® has been extensively tested, trialed, and qualified for performance across diverse industrial sectors—including offshore energy, construction, marine, infrastructure, and petrochemicals.
What Is NanoGalv®?
NanoGalv® is a commercially available nanolaminated metallic alloy coating applied to carbon steel substrates such as bolts, nuts, washers, and connectors. Engineered to replace traditional coatings like cadmium, hot-dip galvanizing, epoxy, and PTFE, NanoGalv offers up to 10x the corrosion resistance, with no compromise on structural or mechanical performance.
Its nano-layered structure delivers substantial improvements in:
- Corrosion resistance
- Hydrogen embrittlement resistance
- Lubricity & torque control
- Wear resistance
- Stress relief & fatigue performance
This innovation allows NanoGalv-coated components to thrive in environments where conventional coatings degrade rapidly—reducing downtime, increasing safety margins, and extending asset life cycles.
NanoGalv® in the Field
Since its introduction, NanoGalv® has undergone extensive 3rd-party testing and real-world deployment—from harsh offshore platforms to inland refineries and LNG facilities. Originally developed for the offshore upstream oil and gas sector, NanoGalv has since been widely adopted across onshore pipelines, petrochemical plants, and heavy infrastructure projects.
It is now broadly specified by leading energy producers and engineering contractors seeking advanced, non-toxic alternatives to legacy coatings.

The Nanolayering Advantage
NanoGalv’s unique nanolaminated structure—similar in concept to metallic plywood—features layers of material that are only nanometers thick. This micro-engineered layering unlocks capabilities not possible in conventional metals, including:
- Superior strength-to-weight ratio
- Enhanced toughness and wear resistance
- Lower permeability to corrosive agents
- Improved fatigue performance under cyclic loading
- Optimized thermal and frictional properties
Despite being made from the same base metals as traditional coatings, NanoGalv behaves like an entirely new class of engineered materials, offering transformative potential for industries that demand peak performance and long-term reliability.
