The “Silco” process is mainly applicable to Stainless Steel, Carbon steel, some Nickel alloys are OK . . .”silco” reacts at > 400degC Lower melting copper, brass, aluminium, gold, silver, magnesium(alloys) are completely impractical . . . plastics are impossible Silver soldered parts can NOT be treated (TIG) Welding and subsequent silver-soldering of Silco products is OK All items for Custom Coating must be High Temp (400degC) and High Vac clean No grease, rubber, Teflon All parts must be dis-assembled by customer prior to Custom-coating
Borosilicate glass . . . PERFECT for silco deactivation & better than conventional “silane” treatment
DISCLAIMER - Any customer used items for Custom Coating must be declared by Customer to be contaminant free AND not used for toxic or Mercury sampling applications
SS Ferrules can NOT / Will Not be coated - otherwise mating to ANY “Silco-treated” fittings will cause leakage problems BUT! . . . Silco to SS mating . . . is perfectly OK !
