Have questions about our coatings? Learn about our coating properties in this handy guide.
What's this coating used for?
A tough, corrosion resistant, inert, hydrophobic coating. Ideal for oil and gas, chemical processing, refining, and other demanding environments. Also offers very low surface energy for easy cleaning and non-stick properties. Dursan: Improves chemical inertness and corrosion resistance of stainless steel while significantly improving surface moisture resistance (hydrophobicity) and wear resistance.
What's this coating used for?
The original, most inert and chemically compatible coating available on the market. SilcoNert 1000 (formerly Silcosteel®): A general purpose barrier coating. SilcoNert 2000 (formerly Siltek®/Sulfinert®): A required coating when analyzing low levels of active, reactive, organo-sulfur, and many more active compounds.
What's this coating used for?
A corrosion and oxidation resistant coating that increases the lifetime of system components. Excellent for high temperature applications. Silcolloy (formerly Silcosteel®-CR) improves corrosion resistance of stainless steel by an order of magnitude in chlorides & acidic environments. An inert, oxidation resistant coating able to withstand extreme high temperature and low temperature environments.
What's this coating used for?
A non-stick coating specifically designed to reduce the onset of carbon coking and fouling on stainless steel at high temperature. SilcoKlean (formerly Silcosteel®-AC) reduces carbon coking or fouling by up to 8x on stainless steel.
What's this coating used for?
A low outgassing, rapid pump down, high purity coating designed to improve performance in ultra high vacuum, mass spec, and semiconductor systems. SilcoGuard (formerly Silcosteel-UHV) reduces outgassing by 14x and significantly improves vacuum pump down in semiconductor and research systems.
What's this coating used for?
Dursox is an inert corrosion resistant silicon barrier coating formulated especially for high purity semiconductor fabrication processes. Dursox improves corrosion resistance by 10x or more while reducing ion contamination in semiconductor processes.

Contact our Technical Service Team to discuss your application with a coating expert. We can recommend the best coating for your application and can provide test data relating to coating that best solve your material problem. Our team can also discuss the best ways to evaluate our coatings. We can provide free test coupons to help compare the performance of our coatings.
Determining the best coating depends on several factors:
Our team is here to help with your coating selection. You can go to our coating recommendations page or contact our customer service team for help selecting the right coating for your application.
Have questions about our coatings? Go to our Frequently Asked Questions page. You'll likely find the answer to your coating question there. Or contact our technical service team. We're here to help address any coating question.
Go to our learning center to get the latest coating data, whitepapers, technical insights and studies done by independent researchers in your industry. You'll get access to:
Testing a coating can be challenging and time consuming. We recommend you consult with our R&D coating experts to assist in establishing a coating evaluation plan that effectively tests a coating and provides meaningful results.
SilcoTek also has an extensive in-house testing capability and has access to highly sophisticated coating evaluation technology.
No worries, we're here to help! If you're not sure about testing coatings or how to evaluate coatings, we can help. Our coating experts can help set up a test, recommend test conditions and help with data management and interpreting the data. We may have relevant test data in house that can make a coating evaluation easier. Contact our technical staff to discuss your evaluation needs.
Establishing coating specifications should reflect your company's need and establish parameters needed to achieve your material performance goals as well as meet your logistical requirements. We offer coating specifications to help guide you in setting the performance requirements you need.
At SilcoTek®, intellectual property is our business. Our innovative coatings and technologies play a key part in thousands of products and processes worldwide. Protecting our IP is part of our core strategic goals; that's why we go to great lengths to protect both the customer and our patents and trademarks. Non disclosure agreements, and IP protection is vital to maintaining customer trust in our operations.
If you're interested in coating your products at your location, we offer coating licensing opportunities for high volume producers.
SilcoTek prices a coating order based on part configuration, any special processing needs, part quantity and part size. A big part will cost more than a small fitting for example. The per piece price for a a higher volume order will be much less than a one-off single piece order. Because price varies with part size and quantity and other order specific factors, we price orders individually. But we can give you some general examples of the price and value our coatings offer. In these examples the estimated price is for a single part. There are substantial discounts for higher volume orders. We also can offer alternative pricing to help with supply chain management and overall coating value, like batch pricing or kanban support. Basically, call us and we'll work with you however we can.
Here are some examples of part pricing. These are just examples, prices will vary depending on the factors noted above. In our examples, we compare the cost of a coated stainless steel component with a similar product made from stainless steel and a superalloy. Generally our coated part costs more than an uncoated stainless part, but much less than the superalloy.
