This exterior nickel coating protects glass-lined parts
This company’s exterior nickel coating technology (photo) provides corrosion protection comparable to paint while eliminating the risk of potential contamination from paint chipping. The nickel coating is designed to protect glass-lined process equipment and is particularly well-suited for pharmaceutical and fine-chemical applications that are sensitive to potential contamination by flaked paint chips, says the company. This impact-resistant coating is particularly well-suited for glass-lined accessories, such as protection rings, manhole covers, some reactor covers and piping. Nickel coatings also make it possible to apply a homogeneous coating to components with complex geometries, says the company. — DeDietrich Process Systems, Mountainside, N.J.
