Did you know SilcoTek's [Dursan®](https://www.silcotek.com/dursan) coating demonstrates comparable performance to Hastelloy® C22 in hydrochloric acid immersion comparison testing?  ASTM G31, 24 hour HCl immersion of various coupon samples show Dursan resists corrosive effects of acid at nearly the same rate as Hastelloy C22. 

The big difference between Dursan and Hastelloy C22?  Cost.  A comparable Dursan coated part will cost about one tenth the price of C22.

 

Dursan improves the performance of many [materials](https://www.silcotek.com/hs-fs/file-280041069-pdf/docs/Material_CompatibilityREV_8-2-13.pdf):

- Stainless steel and steel alloys
- Hastelloy (yes Dursan can improve performance of high performance alloys!)
- Glass
- Ceramics

Dursan improves corrosion performance in many [applications](https://www.silcotek.com/silcod-technologies/industries-served):

- Semiconductor
- Oil and Gas exploration and refining
- Chemical and petrochemical
- Analytical
- Process
