Surface Coatings for Seal Applications

Hardide significantly extends the life of elastomeric seals in both reciprocating and rotating applications.

The coating's resistance to wear, corrosion and erosion ensure that the performance of the sealing surface is maintained to design specification. As the coating wears slowly, it's nano-sized tungsten carbide particles do not tear elastomeric seals like traditional coatings. This results in a proven increase in seal life with no capital investment or major re-design.

Hardide significantly increases the life of service bearings and seals by combining the most effective properties of both metals and ceramics. It combines the unparalleled properties of hardness for abrasion, toughness for impact, corrosion resistance for acids and other chemicals, and galling resistance for high load conditions. The coating wears like the best of ceramics but under heavy impact it behaves more like a metal and won't chip or crack.
