Surface Treatment processes like Electropolishing straighten the surface and avoid bacterial adhesion. In addition, the manufacturing process and the requirements of the purity of the products require comprehensive cleaning processes.
For passivation of aluminum, the replacement of Cr(VI)-based solutions is nothing new. Processes like SurTec 650 or Cr-free solutions are the benchmark. They are REACH and RoHS compatible. For the pre-treatment before coating or bonding, also phosphate replacements gets more popular to reduce sludge and improve process handling.
Bonded coatings ensure complete component coverage with a uniform, durable lubricant layer that minimizes friction and maintains consistent friction coefficients over time. The dry lubrication method prevents contamination, providing clean, efficient application and smooth, silent performance by eliminating stick-slip. Suitable for high and low temperatures, SurTec’s bonded coatings deliver reliable, lifetime lubrication across diverse applications, extending component lifespan with minimal maintenance.
