Anti-Fouling and Non-Stick Coating Properties

Improve Process Efficiency and Longevity while Reducing Costs

SilcoTek® Anti-Fouling, Anti-Coking, and Non Stick-Coatings Improve Efficiency and Reduce Downtime

SilcoTek coatings resist unwanted buildup of foulants, carbon, and contaminants while solving common material problems like corrosion and mold sticking. Clogging, fouling, coking, and other sticking issues require process shutdowns for maintenance, drastically increasing costs. SilcoTek coatings like Dursan® reduce friction and stiction while improving moisture and corrosion resistance. SilcoTek coatings bond to process surfaces and act as a non-stick, hydrophobic barrier that improves surface performance. Customers choose SilcoTek coatings to improve the performance of heat exchangers, fuel systems, molds, and more.    

Solve Fouling Problems

Even under extreme pressure and temperature, SilcoTek coatings significantly improve release and corrosion resistance, increasing process performance and efficiency while significantly reducing maintenance.

Coating features and benefits include:

  • Prevent fouling without any change in heat transfer coefficient
  • Highly hydrophobic, non-stick surface
  • Improved wear resistance over bare metal
  • Higher lubricity to improve operation of moving cores and slides and improved resin flow for reduced energy cost and wear
  • Replaces release chemicals which often contain PFAS
  • Prevent contamination by release chemicals and oxidation by-products in medical and electronic applications
  • Does not transfer onto the plastic part during molding
  • Eliminate diamond finish release problems by improving surface lubricity
  • Improved corrosion resistance

Solve Release Problems

SilcoTek's patented silicon chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coating technology can be applied to complex or narrow part configurations without impacting even extremely tight tolerances.  Comparative studies show SilcoTek coatings outperform most materials commonly used in mold and extrusion applications.

Solve common extrusion and mold release problems:

  • Critical surface pitting due to corrosion
  • Poor release of product from mold
  • Product damage due to surface irregularities
  • Frequent extruder tool replacement
  • Mold damage
