resistance. NEDOX ® is at the

same time chemically very

resistant and it has long-lasting

non-stick and antistatic properties

In the NEDOX ® process, a nickel

alloy is applied to the metal

surface under defined conditions.

This layer contains numerous

micropores that are enlarged in

patented mass processes. The

surface is sealed by the controlled

impregnation of polymer particles.

At the end of the NEDOX ®

What are NEDOX ® synergetic coatings?

NEDOX ® becomes an integral

element of the upper layer of the

base material. Since NEDOX ® has

much better properties than the

base material and the individual

components of the layer, we speak

of "synergetic" in the case of this

patented process

Synergetic coatings are not

"coatings" in the usual sense of

the word. They are created by

a multi-stage process in which

the advantages of electroless

nickel plating are combined with

the controlled introduction of

polymers and/or dry lubricants.

Coating thickness and tolerances

Depending on the application of

the NEDOX®

coating, the layer thickness is between 5 µm and

75 µm with a tolerance of ±2 µm.

The required layer thickness of a

NEDOX®

variant should be agreedon after careful selection with the

help of our technicians.

Corrosion resistance

The corrosion resistance is superior

to chromium or conventional

electrolytic nickel coatings.

25 µm-thick NEDOX ® layers

showed little to no corrosion after

14 months' constant exposure to

the atmosphere or to salt water.

NEDOX ® offers good resistance

to the most commonly used

chemicals. After a 90-day

immersion test in a fluid with

pH values between 3.0 and 9.5,

the coatings showed not the

slightest damage.

They are especially resistant to

phosphate-free bleaching

substances such as are used for

machines in the foodstuffs and

packaging industries. NEDOX ®

coatings are, in contrast to many

other coatings on aluminium,

resistant to a large number of

chemicals.

Friction

The NEDOX ® surface is very

smooth. In many cases the

static friction even decreases

under increasing pressure.

NEDOX ®

NEDOX ® eliminates the "stick-slip"effect and prevents unwanted

vibrations caused by high static

friction.

Lipstick moulds coated with NEDOX ® for easier removal of residues from the

moulding process. The smooth NEDOX ® surface improves product quality and

appearance by the reduction of surface imperfections on the lipsticks.

Anti-adhesive properties

With the exception of a limited

number of very sticky substances,

there’s hardly any solid that can

remain stuck to a component

coated with NEDOX ®. Since

most of the NEDOX ® coatings

are USDA or FDA compliant, they

are especially suitable for the

foodstuffs industry, baking

machinery construction and the

pharmaceutical and medical

industry. They are widely used in

production and packing machines,

particularly so as to avoid the

processing equipment being

stuck, to make cleaning easier and

to reduce the use of chemical

cleaning substances as much as

possible.
