FEATURES

Low Coefficient of Friction
A continuous film which penetrates the surface of hard anodized aluminum has lowered friction by as much as fivefold.

Non-Stick
Low wettability prevents most solid substances from permanently adhering to the coating surface. Almost all substances release easily.

High Abrasion Resistance
Hardcoat is aluminum oxide. It is "file hard", has been measured as high as Rockwell 70C, and has wearing qualities superior to case hardened steel.

High Corrosion Resistance
Hardcoat considerably increases corrosion resistance of aluminum while the fluorocarbon resin is normally unaffected by chemical environments.
