NiSLIP™ 520

NiSLIP™ 520 is a coating of sub micron PTFE particles uniformly dispersed throughout a hard electroless nickel matrix.  This engineered coating is similar to NiSLIP™ 510, but provides even higher corrosion resistance.  The percentage of Teflon in the coating is typically 20-25% by volume, but can be varied depending on the requirements of each application.  The coating features a high phosphorous electroless nickel matrix.

NiSLIP™ 520 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™ 520 have been utilized widely in the automotive, molding, textile, gear, and assembly industries to name just a few.

NiSLIP® 520 has received a positive review from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Department of Health and Human Services.  Click here for details.
