NiSlip™ 515

NiSlip™ 515 is a coating of submicron PTFE particles uniformly dispersed throughout a hard electroless nickel matrix.  The percentage of PTFE in the coating is typically 20-25% by volume, but can be varied depending on the requirements of each application.  The coating features a medium phosphorous electroless nickel matrix that is useful in most applications.  In applications requiring even higher corrosion resistance, the high phosphorous version of this coating, NiSlip™ 520, is recommended. 

NiSlip™ 515 provides numerous benefits including:

  • Self-lubricity/low coefficient of friction
  • Excellent release properties
  • Outstanding corrosion resistance
  • Perfect conformity to complex geometries
  • Coverage of entire services or selected critical areas
  • Applicability to many common metals, alloys, ceramics, and plastics

These features reduce sliding wear and sticking problems.  The performance advantages of NiSlip™ 515 have been utilized widely in the automotive, molding, textile, gear, and assembly industries to name just a few.

NiSlip™ 515 has received a positive review from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Department of Health and Human Services.  Click here for details.
