Our newest Patented advancement is Wear-Cote® Plus™ CFx.
An electroless co-deposit incorporating the best of Wear-Cote® Electroless
Nickel and exclusive sub-micron particles which exhibits a lower coefficient of
friction and greater wear resistance then EN/PTFE (i.e. NIFLOR™, NEDOX®)
without the electroless deposit available. Extensive comparative evaluations against
other coatings has proven that Wear-Cote® Plus™ CFx is the most wear resistant/lowest
coefficient of friction electroless co-deposit available. Specialized equipment
designs (Patents Pending) assure uniform particle co-deposition and consistent
quality duplication.
A generic acronym for PTFE, a fluorocarbon compound, polytetraflourethylene, made
by polymerizing tetraflourethylene. CFx is made by reacting coke with elemental
flourine. CFx - containing deposits exhibit lower coefficient of friction values
than EN/PTFE - containing deposits when tested by ASTM G-77 plus better wear characteristics
than EN/PTFE - containing deposits when tested by G83. A comprehensive technical
brochure on Wear-Cote® Plus™ CFx is available upon request. The use of
Electroless Nickel CFx composite coatings is protected by U.S. Patent No. 4,830,889
with foreign Patents granted and pending. The coating is marketed under the tradename
Wear-Cote® Plus™ CFx.
A spectrum of applications include Packaging/Food Processing Equipment, Glass
Molding, Petro/Chem, Computers, Aerospace, Electronics, Automotive and Plastic
Injection Molds.
Food Processing Molding & Equipment
As previously reported in published technical articles and confirmed
by independant testing laboratories, Wear-Cote® Plus™ CFx exhibits lower
coefficient of friction values than PTFE containing deposits when tested by ASTM
G-77 plus better wear characteristics than PTFE containing deposits when tested
by ASTM G-83, plus temperatures resistance in excess of 800º.
