Coating features and benefits include:
|
Our coatings reduce sticking and bonding of materials to stainless steel and other surfaces. Our coatings improve efficiency and prevent damage to molds and extruders, saving time and money.

Companies turn to SilcoTek® for coating solutions to their most demanding material challenges. They stay with SilcoTek because our team is dedicated to improving your products and processes. Our case studies tell the story of how customers in a wide range of industries have benefited from doing business with SilcoTek.
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 non-wetting coatings, like Dursan, dramatically improve water repelling properties when applied to stainless steel, metal alloy, glass, or ceramic surfaces.
Solve common moisture related problems:

Our low surface energy (high contact angle) surface repels water, preventing system contamination and improving analytical test reliability. Comparative testing shows the Dursan® coated surfaces significantly improve hydrophobicity by reducing surface energy by 60% or more. Surface energy water droplet testing below compares various coated surfaces. Stainless steel, a high surface energy material, exhibits significant wetting and a very low water droplet contact angle (36 degrees, below left), causing moisture control problems. The Dursan low energy surface shows minimal wetting and a high contact angle, improving hydrophobicity and preventing adsorption, contamination and surface outgassing.
