Sichem Innovative coatings can provide the following solutions for improving the sustainability and new developments will be released soon.
SiTemp
SiTemp is a hexavalent chrome-free anti-corrosion coating.
- Technology : SiTemp uses covalent bonds principles in order to create an exceptional protection against corrosive materials, salt for instance.
- Resistance : SiTemp keeps its properties and its efficiency even at high temperatures (>750 °C).
- Positive green impact : SiTemp is a nontoxic solution which avoids the use of Chromium Hexavalent (Cr6), a carcinogenic chemical.
- Market opportunities for aeronautic, waste Management, Hydrogen, reactors,…
SiLith
SiLith is a thermostable semi-crystalline thermoplastic.
- Interest : Peek® can be used as base materials for making parts, to reinforce carbon fiber structures or as a coating for non-lubricated mechanical parts. Peek® is an alternative to machined metals such as stainless steel, aluminum or titanium.
- Hardness : Mechanical characteristics of the product give it a significant abrasion resistance (Rockwell hardness: 102).
- Peek’s advantage: The company has developed a technique allowing it to be applied in the form of a coating on parts with several geometry.
- Hydrogen Sector : SiLith is very resistant to chemical agents which makes it particularly relevant for hydrogen production facilities.
SiGlide
SiGlide is ultra-resistant and non-stick coating without PFOA and PFOS.
Chemical properties : SiGlide is hydrophobic, oleophobic and a very good thermal conductor.
- Positive green impact : This revolutionary coating could replace traditional PFOA- based coating. However, PFOA is suspected of being carcinogenic, toxic and endocrine disruptor. It is also harmful to the environment. In 2013, the European Chemicals Agency (Echa) added it to its list of substances of very high concern.
SiHydro
SiHydro is an innovative coating to protect metallic structures against their weakening due to hydrogen diffusion in the material.
- This revolutionary coating has many advantages:
- Very good corrosion resistance
- Very good thermal conductivity and stability
- Very good thermal conductivity and stability
- Very good adhesion
- Very good crack resistance
- Very low coefficient of friction
- No delamination
