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
