Protecting Your Sulfinert®-Treated Products

Cleaning Tips

When cleaning a treated part, rinse with a solvent that will dissolve probable

surface contaminants (i.e., use a nonpolar solvent to remove hydrocarbon

contaminants, or a more polar solvent to remove more active contaminants).

Avoid using cleaners containing abrasives as they can scratch the layer. Mild

sonication may assist in contaminant removal, but do not oversonicate—this

could damage the layer. Solids can be removed with a soft nylon bristle brush

using light pressure.

Caution!

Do not use basic solutions or soaps with pH>8. Do not steam clean

Sulfinert®-treated components or lines as this could damage the layer.

Preventing Galling

As with any threaded fitting, galling may occur when assembling two treated

parts. To prevent thread damage, use a PTFE tape.

A scouring pad can be used to remove coating from the threads to reduce

galling.

Ferrules used in compression fittings should not be coated—leaks may occur.

Troubleshooting

Under normal use, your treated items should deliver outstanding performance

for years to come. However, effective lifetime is dependent on the severity of

the environment. Factors that can reduce performance are:

• Contamination

—Failure to properly clean the surface can allow increased

surface activity. If performance changes, thoroughly clean the surface and

inspect the layer for damage.

• Erosion

—Contact with abrasives can accelerate surface wear.

• Bases

—Contact with a base (pH 8 or higher) can accelerate deterioration

of the layer.

Surface finish and color should stay consistent throughout the life of the

product. Changes in the finish or color may indicate a partial loss of the layer.

To prevent further loss, ensure no exposure to bases or abrasives.
