Nye-Kote™ For Corrosion, Wear and Friction Control
Electroless nickel coating for natural lubricity and consistent protection
- High phosphorous content delivers excellent lubricity
- Superior hardness resists abrasion and impact damage
- Outstanding adhesion with controllable, uniform coating thickness
- Coating conformity to complex geometries
- Corrosion resistance
What is Nye-Kote™
Nye-Kote™ is Electro-Coating's exclusive electroless nickel coating, which provides friction control with the bonus of exceptional hardness and coating consistency for superior component protection.
The phosphorous content of Nye-Kote provides a natural lubricity that minimizes heat buildup to reduce scoring and galling.
The hardness and highly consistent thickness of a Nye-Kote coated component creates an extraordinarily smooth finish, spreading the effects of friction evenly across a wear surface.
Component manufacturers often choose Nye-Kote for the side benefits it offers beyond friction resistance:
- High uniformity in coating thickness. Because the coating is transferred to the substrate by chemical reaction rather than an electrical charge (as in electroplating), equal coating density is achieved without respect to the geometry of the object being coated. By controlling the chemical reaction in the Nye-Kote, it is possible to deliver highly accurate coating thicknesses, preserving precise component tolerances
- The high level of phosphorous in a Nye-Kote coating makes it very resistant to corrosion. Chemical content of the coating may be adjusted to deliver the level of corrosion resistance desired by an end user.
Applied by experts
As both the developer and sole applicator of Nye-Kote, the experts at Electro-Coatings know how to maximize coating quality for peak performance. Their expertise is supported by the technology to precisely control the chemical deposition and heat treating processes for consistency in results from component to component.
