Use guidelines
It is strongly advised to avoid impacts, abrasions and/or other mechanical stress that might damage the coating film and therefore hinder its function.
Maintenance guidelines
The coating features great non-stick properties that make the cleaning process easy to perform, even in dirty environments. However, in early months of use, a regular check-up of the coating is recommended to ensure flawless functional performances of coated parts, components or plants.
Wear and Refurbishment
Coatings are subject to wear. Increasing wear leads to progressive loss of non-stick and anticorrosive properties. A regular check-up is recommended to ensure excellent functional performances. The coating film can be restored, even on a scheduled basis, by delivering the coated parts to Silicon Tech. Herein a highly specialized team will perform a full recovery.
