Coating Removes PVC Residue at High Temperatures
By treating PVC sticking and wearing, General Magnaplate says this coating reduces downtime and expenses caused by these issues.
General Magnaplate (Arlington, Texas), a manufacturer of surface enhancement products for metals and other substrates, offers CS-1331 for most ferrous and nonferrous metals. CS-1331 features polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic release and wear-resistant properties with a thermal stability up to 500°F. By treating PVC for sticking and wear, the company says this coating reduces the downtime and expenses caused by these issues.
In repeated testing at 500°F, CS-1331 released the PVC plastic during cleaning using a simple rag without much pressure applied on different areas of the treated surface, outperforming other nonstick release coatings, Magnaplate says. CS-1331’s benefits include corrosion, outgassing and chemical resistance as well as a low coefficient of friction (COF), high contact angle and USDA/FDA compliance.
Two General Magnaplate surface treatment families offer the CS-1331 composition: Lectrofluor, a polymer matrix coating for harsh environments, and Plasmadize, a thermal spray designed for very large surfaces or parts.
