| CSL’s Ni-Lube is a unique composite coating that blends the hardness and corrosion resistance of Nickel-Phosphorus with the low friction coefficient of Teflon. Submicron particles of Teflon are co-deposited with an electroless Nickel-Phosphorus alloy to provide various unique characteristics: | |||
Characteristics: |
|||
 |
Low coefficient of friction | ||
|
Bulk hardness of up to 50 RC (600 VHN) | ||
|
Excellent corrosion resistance that is not affected by caustic solvents, de-ionized water, or HCI fumes | ||
|
Extremely uniform thickness | ||
|
Excellent adhesion to steel or aluminum | ||
|
Non-stick, non-galling, and excellent mold release | ||
|
Ideal for a clean room environment because its low friction and excellent corrosion resistance do not generate wear or corrosive particulate | ||
|
Compatible in high vacuum environments with minimal outgassing measured at levels up to 10-9 torr | ||
|
USDA approval pending for food contact |
||
Applications:
CSL has created tailor-made varietals of its Ni-Lube coating to maximize its effectiveness in specific applications. Ni-Lube has been used in: |
|||
|
Precision gears, lead screws, and slides | ||
|
Indexing pins, cams, rotary arms, and solenoids | ||
|
Tracks, rollers, chutes, rails, and heat-sealing jaws used in packaging | ||
|
Mold components such as cavities, inserts, cores and extrusion mandrels | ||
|
Valve stems and bodies, actuators, needle valves, and hydraulic components | ||
|
Housings, gear racks and actuator arms for data storage devices |
