Proposed coating for aluminum MPC storage racks

• How the Process Works
• An extremely low coefficient of friction.
• High corrosion resistance.
• Good wear properties.
• In the coating, submicron particles of Teflon are
  dispersed throughout an auto catalytically
  applied nickel/phosphorous matrix.
• The composite Teflon/nickel/phosphorous coating
  is deposited through a controlled chemical
  reduction catalyzed by the metal ahoy being
  deposited. Because the process does not require
  electrical current to sustain deposition, the
  coated part does not exhibit the difference in
  deposition thicknesses caused by current density
  variations in electroplating processes.
• The uniform coating thickness achieved by NiCoTef
  makes the process extremely cost-competitive with
  alternative processes for parts with complex
  configurations where uniform coating and high
  lubricity are desired.
• Composition
• NiCoTef, which incorporates Teflon at 23-25,
  yields a lower coefficient of friction than is
  provided by most conventional coatings.
• Because the Teflon is co-deposited with the
  nickel/phosphorous rather than applied to the
  surface in a subsequent operation, a continuous
  supply of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is
  provided throughout the life of the coating.
• Applications
• Dry lubrication for sensitive applications where
  conventional lubricants cannot be used.
• Continuous self-lubrication of assemblies.
• Increased efficiency, quieter operation and
  reduced downtime.
