Intech Services announced today that Houston-based Southwestern Plating is currently the only company qualified to apply the new DuPont Teflon® corrosion resistant industrial coating 857G-018 per the DuPont SP11C specification for fluoropolymer-coated fasteners. The DuPont Teflon® industrial coating 857G-018 features improved chemical make-up, better lot to lot consistency, and higher temperature ranges (-50°C to 200°C, -58°F to 392°F) than any other product in the market.

As the first truly water based, low VOC, and easy-to-use one coat, the DuPont 857G line of coatings have been getting a lot of attention from specifiers in North America. Test results on this coating system are above market place expectations and perform well in extreme applications that require anti-galling properties in various environments. The coating provides excellent corrosion resistance and was specifically designed for coating offshore, oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment fasteners on substrates such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
