Improve Corrosion Resistance of
Stainless Steel Tenfold or More in
ProducedWater Applications
Reduce downtime and extend system lifetime with
Silcolloy
®
1000 treatment.
Managingproducedwater has
become amajor challenge for the oil
andgas industry. Aswells age,
water production increases and is
expected to swell 50% inoffshore
applications alone over the next 10
years. Alongwith increased volume,
drillersmust contendwith a severely
corrosive environment of high salinity,
acids, and temperature.

Silcolloy
®
1000 (acorrosion resistant,
highpurity silicon coating from
SilcoTek
®
) can improve the corrosion
performance of stainless steels used
inproducedwater environments by
anorder ofmagnitude ormore.
Silcolloy 1000 is aproprietary, patent-
edmulti-layer silicon coatingdesigned
to improve the corrosion resistance
of stainless steel andmany alloys in a
wide range of corrosive environments
(visit
for a com-
plete listingof compatibility).

rosion testing), shows corrosionof the
treated stainless steel is reducedby

Silcolloy 1000maintains
high systempurity,
demonstrates extreme
heat capability and
allows for leak-tight
systemperformance
when applied to steel,
stainless steel andalloy systems. Sil-
colloy 1000 is durable and #exible and
thin enough tomaintain tightmachine
tolerances. This allows the customer
to improve the corrosion resistance of
existing components or to add addi-
tional corrosion resistance to existing
designswithout having to allow for
tolerance changes duringmachining.
The unique non-line-of-sight chemi-
cal vapor deposition (CVD) process
produces a highpurity, #exible amor-
phous silicon layer that is diffused
into themetal lattice. The layer will
conform to themost intricate surface
whilemaintaininghighdimensional
tolerances. TheSilcolloy 1000 layer
will deformwith tubing surfaces,
allowing leak-free seals and radius
bends in tubing.
