Restek / SilcoTek ???

Restek continue to supply Catalog Items

SilcoTek ( an independant Company ) supply Custom “Silcosteel” Products

• requires Customer or Chromtech supplied parts source independantly  from Australia or elswhere NOT by SilcoTek

“Silco” products have evolved over many years. Product lines have been rationalised
Surface chemistry has improved - mainly as a result of thicker coatings and proprietary added deactivation where appropriate
- application specific Silco products for optimum performance

Silco - High temperature Vapor Deposition process of depositing fused silicon to SS

Silcosteel and Sulfinert Tubing ( some other products ) are still available from Chromtech stock
at discounted prices ( 20% off List Prices ) until stock is depleted
SIlcosteel prices are ~20% less than Sulfinert ( same List price as newly named Siltek

These are being replaced by Restek by a single treatment Siltek and being
gradually phased in.

SilcoTek products initially focused on chromatography inertness Then Air monitoring applications
NOW . . . also aimed at a diverse and expanding range of Industrial applications
specifically . . . Anti-corrosion, Anti-coking, Ultra High Vac

The “Silco” process is mainly applicable to Stainless Steel, Carbon steel, some Nickel alloys are OK . . .”silco” reacts at > 400degC
Lower melting copper, brass, aluminium, gold, silver, magnesium(alloys) are completely impractical
 . . . plastics are impossible
Silver soldered parts can NOT be treated
(TIG) Welding and subsequent silver-soldering of Silco products is OK
All items for Custom Coating must be High Temp (400degC) and High Vac clean
No grease, rubber, Teflon
All parts must be dis-assembled by customer prior to Custom-coating

Borosilicate glass . . . PERFECT for silco deactivation & better than conventional  “silane” treatment

DISCLAIMER - Any customer used items for Custom Coating must be declared by Customer to be contaminant free AND not used for toxic or Mercury sampling applications

SS Ferrules can NOT / Will Not be coated - otherwise mating to ANY “Silco-treated”  fittings will cause leakage problems
BUT! . . . Silco to SS mating . . .  is perfectly OK !
