Surface treatment technology: "Surface treatment to improve the low friction and wear resistance of aluminum."

A surface treatment that provides low friction properties to aluminum and also excels in wear resistance. We will introduce examples of surface treatments that achieve both slip properties and wear resistance.

Aluminum is widely used in various applications as packaging machines and transport components due to its lightweight and ease of processing. We introduce a surface treatment that addresses challenges that could not be solved even with anodizing or fluororesin processing. ■ Issues arising in packaging machines and manufacturing lines In packaging lines for food and pharmaceuticals, aluminum guides are used to transport products. Even with anodizing or fluorine processing, there can be issues such as line jams or surface wear. ■ Key points for problem-solving In such cases, by adopting 'Bicoat,' which combines the hard coating of HV700-900 with the lubricating properties of fluororesin, we achieve both wear resistance and smooth sliding, thereby resolving issues related to the smooth transport of products and surface wear. *For more details on 'Bicoat(R)' introduced in the examples, please download the materials and check.

basic information

■What is "Bicoat"? The ultra-durable fluorine-based organic coating "Bicoat" is a composite organic coating system that combines inorganic materials with high hardness, such as metals, ceramics, and chemical conversion coatings, with organic materials that excel in lubricity and release properties, such as fluororesins, siloxane resins, and super engineering plastics. For example, it can be safely used in molds that require micron-level dimensional precision, providing reliable release properties. 【Features】 ■ High hardness and scratch resistance ■ High dimensional stability ■ Excellent non-stick properties ■ Long lifespan ■ Excellent pressure resistance ■ Bicoat achieves both "toughness" and "non-stick properties" on the coated surface ■ Safe for use in molds requiring micron-level dimensional precision *For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.
