NICKLON
The NICKLON Difference
Due to the homogenous distribution of autocatalytical nickel and PTFE, NICKLON coating provides a continual renewal of PTFE as the surface sustains normal wear. 24% of the plated surface is made up of PTFE, giving it a low co-efficient of friction and producing excellent lubristic characteristics.
Benefits of Nicklon:
Creates an excellent release condition. NICKLON autocatalytic application
ensures a uniform application in complex details.- Extends life through its high corrosion resistant characteristics.
- Especially helpful for thin-wall molds, such as in cellular-phone housings.
- NICKLON will mimic the finish of the base material.
Ideal Nicklon Mold Applications
NICKLON aids in release and corrosion protection and enhances resin flow by 4-8%. Experience has proven this coating to be invaluable in many applications. NICKLON self-lubricating properties work well in grease-free conditions. This normally eliminates the need for release sprays.
