### Proven Corrosion Resistance

Ceralink Inc and BASF Catalysts compared HCl corrosion resistance of various alloys.  After 60 tests, Silcolloy® 1000 (Silcosteel®-CR) improved corrosion resistance of super alloys (like Hasteloy-C, Hasteloy-B, T316, C-20, Zr, Ti and Ta) by 20X. 

[Silcolloy](https://www.silcotek.com/silcod-technologies/Silcolloy-corrosion-resistant-coating/)[® 1000](https://www.silcotek.com/silcod-technologies/Silcolloy-corrosion-resistant-coating/) can be applied to many alloys and ceramics without significantly changing part tolerance or durability.  Because Silcolloy 1000 is a silicon coating, it prevents metal leaching and corrosion in sensitive processes such as:

- Semiconductor/electronics manufacturing
- Catalyst manufacturing and testing
- Medical diagnostics
- Gas chromatography
- Materials research and UHV systems
- High purity processes and instrumentation

Silcolloy improves processes and products by extending product life, preventing product contamination, improving sample accuracy, and reducing product manufacturing and material cost.
