nanoPLATE® - The Hard Chrome Alternative
Benefits of nanoPLATE® Coatings
| PERFORMANCE |
- Nanostructured metal coatings with properties which meet or
exceed those of hard chrome (wear resistance, corrosion resistance,
coeffecient of friction)
|
| PROCESS |
- Produced using a cost-effective, high efficiency process
- Simple drop-in or retrofit to current hard chrome plating operations (barrel, rack, reel to reel, brush, etc.)
- For line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight applications
|
| ENVIRONMENTAL |
- Complete elimination of chromium.
|
Relative Ranking of Leading Replacement
Technologies
with reference to Hard Chrome |
| Process Advantages |
- High efficiency process (less power consumption than chrome plating)
- Up to an eight-fold increase in deposition rate (increased production rate)
- No need for hydrogen embrittlement relief (increase in product turnover)
|
Property Advantages
Unlike hard chrome, Integran's nanostructured coatings
are fully dense (no microcracks or porosity), have good ductility,
and provide: |
- Superior sliding wear resistance
- Superior corrosion resistance (without the need for a nickel
underlayer)
- A low coefficient of friction
