Treatment Processes
SilcoTek passivation and surface protection layers are deposited using a patented
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The reaction layer penetrates into the
lattice of the treatedpiece andbinds solidly. Consequently, it is possible towork a
piece, such as bending a length of treated tubing, without creating cracks, flakes,
or other flawswhichwould compromise the layer. Layer thickness ranges from
100nm to 500nm.
SilcoTek surface treatment processes do not rely on line-of-sight deposition.
The chemical vapor deposition process ensures all surfaces are treated uniformly—
even at corners, holes, andmachined ridges. Our current capacity enables us to
treat items up to 6 feet in length. Evacuated items, such as gas chambers, can
have a volume of up to43 cubic feet.
About Us
SilcoTek’s involvement with surface coatings began in 1987, whenwe developed
a treatment thatmade stainless steel surfaces inert to low-level reactive organic
compounds. Since this initial project, SilcoTek’s coating experts have developed a
family of surface treatments to address other speci c needs and thereby enhance
the performance of system components. These treatments are:
•SilcoNert
®
1000 (Silcosteel
®
)—A general purpose passivation layer for
steel and stainless steel. (USpatent 6,511,760.)
•Silcolloy
®
1000(Silcosteel
®
-CR)—A corrosion resistant layer that
increases the lifetime of system components in acidic environments contain-
ing hydrochloric, nitric, or sulfuric acid, or seawater. (USpatent 7,070,833.)
•SilcoGuard
®
1000(Silcosteel
®
-UHV)—Used to reduce outgassingby
components of ultra-high vacuum systems. (USpatent 7,070,833.)
•SilcoKlean
®
1000(Silcosteel
®
-AC)—Dramatically reduces carbon buildup
(coking) on stainless steel components. (USpatent 6,444,326.)
•SilcoNert
®
2000(Siltek
®
)—Provides the ultimate passivation of treated
components, from glass to high nickel alloys of steel. (USpatent 6,444,326.)
•SilcoNert
®
2000(Sul nert
®
)—A required layer onmetal componentswhen
analyzing for parts-per-billion levels of organo-sulfur compounds.
(USpatent 6,444,326.)
•Dursan
®
—A high durability, corrosion resistant, inert coating ideal for refinery,
chemical process, oil &gas applications. (USpatent pending)
