Proprietary Composite Coatings

SF-1[X]

Meet Specialty Finishes’ line of proprietary composite coatings, specifically designed to provide

 -Hard

 -Ultra smooth

 -Long wearing

 -Lubricious

 -Corrosion resistant

surfaces on steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, or aluminum.

SF-1A

Excellent release properties.  Dry touch does not transfer to other surfaces and does not attract dust, dirt or other contaminants.  One successful example has been in tobacco paper packaging, where high transit speeds of the paper require a slick, super-smooth, yet durable surface to prevent tearing and maximize line up-time.  PTFE-free

SF-1B

Good release and lubricity, designed for Low-Temp Release Applications (<400˚F) and long-term sliding wear.  Ultra-smooth surface to prevent scratching during high-speed packaging; Food-Grade; FDA compliant; RoHS Compliant; REACH Compliant

SF-1B HT

Enhancement to SF-1B where parts will need to excel in high-temperature applications (<500˚F continuous), like in high-temperature mold release.

SF-2[X]

surfaces on steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, or aluminum.

SF-2A

Hard surface with release & lubricity for sliding wear surface.  Dry touch does not transfer to other surfaces and does not attract dust, dirt or other contaminants.  Significant adoption in high-speed adhesive dispense industry, in the retarding the accumulation of glue on high-speed glue machinery, minimizing downtime and rejects. PTFE-free

SF-2B

Hard surface with release & lubricity for sliding wear surfaces; Designed for dry film lubricity, sliding wear applications and low-temperature mold release; Food-Grade; FDA compliant; RoHS Compliant; REACH Compliant

SF-2B HT

Good release and lubricity, designed for High-Temp Release Applications (<450˚F continuous) and long-term sliding wear

SF-2 AS

Excellent release (applied to smooth gloss); Designed for release with glue applications in tobacco industry.  Food-Grade; FDA compliant; RoHS Compliant; REACH Compliant

SF-SBA

Good release and lubricity with less surface contact due to engineered texture on the surface; Designed for long-term wear and release where static coefficient of friction needs to be minimized.  This finish has enjoyed significant adoption in plastic film sliding applications, where clinging or catching of the film on the metal part surface is not desired.

surfaces on aluminum

SF-5A

Hard surface on aluminum with good release and lubricity properties.  Dry touch does not transfer to other surfaces and does not attract dust, dirt or other contaminants.  Designed for hard, long-wear surfaces that are lubricious with moderate release properties.  Excels in temperatures up to 450˚F.  PTFE-free

SF-5B

Designed for sliding wear applications on aluminum; non-conducting, thermally insulative; DFL with moderate release characteristics for low temperature mould release (<350˚F); Food-Grade; FDA compliant; RoHS Compliant; REACH Compliant

SF-5B

Designed for sliding wear applications on aluminum; non-conducting, thermally insulative; Excellent dry film lubricant and excellent mould release characteristics (<450˚F)

SF-5AS

Hard surface on aluminum with excellent release properties; first design and application for this coating was to eliminate glue buildup on metal fabrication components during high-speed glueing operations.  FDA compliant
