Problem:
A chemical processing company approached the technical sales team at General Magnaplate because powder was sticking to a part that was used in filling glass vials with powder.  The result was that the material was cascading and the equipment not functioning to its maximum efficiency.

Solution:
Following a coating of TUFRAM, the powder flow increase was so dramatic, the customer ordered a second part and had it coated too.  Developed for use on aluminum alloys, TUFRAM provides parts with previously unattainable levels of hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, as well as permanent lubricity.  TUFRAM ensured a longer life span for the part, and provided a smooth slippery surface, which solved the powder sticking issue.

Tufram is a superior alternative to other common industry coatings including hard anodize, hard anodize polymer impregnated (PTFE), hardcoat anodize, and sulfuric anodize.
