“Synergistic” Surface Enhancement Coatings …

1 NEDOX Wear resistanceHardness is up to Rc 68 (940 Vickers scale) betterthan hard chrome plate. There is no degradation offatigue strength. NEDOX Coatings also eliminate thelikelihood of galling or resistanceNEDOX synergistic Coatings are superior incorrosion resistance to chromium or standardelectrolytic-nickel plated Coatings . A " coatingshows little or no corrosion after 14 months ofcontinuous exposure to atmosphere and salt resistance to most common chemicals. Certaincoatings show no effect after 90 days immersion in solutions.

2 Some NEDOX Coatings areespecially resistant to phosphate-free bleach used inwashdown solutions in food processing andpackaging operations. NEDOX Coatings on aluminumalso provide resistance to a wide range of chemicals. synergistic Surface Enhancement CoatingsProtect Most Metals Including Aluminum Against Wear, Corrosion, Sticking and GallingAll types of metal parts, including those made ofaluminum, are treated with NEDOX to create aharder-than-steel, self-lubricating Surface that resistscorrosion, friction, sticking, galling, and static buildup.

5 Prevent galvanic corrosion with incompatible metals Won't chip, peel or flake off like "paint-ons" NASA material #20386* ITAR and REACH compliantNuclear ApplicationsNedox is well suited for use in reactors that are usedfor uranium enrichment. In the process that createsfissionable Uranium 235 from Uranium 238, uraniumhexafluoride (UF6) is produced in a gaseous diffusionprocess. The UF6 was found to be one of the mostactive chemicals known, almost acting as a universalsolvent. The components in Nedox are shown tohave excellent chemical resistance to is smooth and slippery.

6 In some cases, thestatic friction decreases with an increase in eliminates stick-slip and undesirablevibration of higher break-away friction.

7 Precise control of coating thickness permits use on machine threads and similar complianceCompliance with FDA, USDA, and CFIA codes makesmany NEDOX Coatings particularly advantageous forfood and pharmaceutical applications. These non-stick Coatings eliminate the potential growth of moldand bacteria by creating a dense, non-porous are used extensively on processing, packagingand handling equipment to prevent product residuefrom clinging to machinery and add the benefits ofquicker equipment cleanup and release propertiesVery few solid substances, even adhesives, adhesive-backed products or glues, will permanently adhere tothe proprietary polymer-impregnated Surface of aNEDOX coated part.

8 Most substances, such asplastics, rubber or slurries, release easily. Someextremely tacky materials may exhibit mild normal Surface deposition is " "( 10%) and is based upon thickness requirement andcoating formulation. (See section describing NEDOXFAMILY OF synergistic Coatings ).NEDOX vs. chromium platingHigh-efficiency NEDOX Coatings provide optimumuniformity and do not build up on high currentdensity areas (see diagrams, below). Thus, costly andlabor-intensive secondary machining and secondaryfinishing steps can be completely eliminated.

9 Anadded feature is the ductility of NEDOX which allowsa 180 Bend-Test without flaking or poor efficiency of chromium plating systems(10% 14% under optimum conditions, even lesswith some configurations), when complicated by highand low current density areas, can lead to extremelyuneven deposition rates and leave large variations inthe coating thickness. Uneven deposition of chromealso results in a very brittle coating .

10 However, special techniques developed byMagnaplate s R&D Group permit NEDOX to be madeconductive enough to be used as an anti-static our proprietary polymer-impregnated surfacesare both oleophobic and hydrophobic, they resistwetting by most liquids. Hence, clean-up is faster, easierand more thorough. In many cases, parts becomeself-cleaning. Maintenance time and labor are greatlyreduced. Droplet exhibit excellent Coatings permit substitution ofcarbon steel or aluminum for expensive metalsIn order to reduce bottomline costs, innovative designengineers today are utilizing Magnaplate synergistic Coatings such as NEDOX to permit substitution ofaluminum and low-cost steels for more expensivemetals such as stainless costs about five times more than carbonsteel.
