Distek anti-corrosion
coating lines save energy, reduce waste and lower costs. Distek thermal diffusion galvanising (TDG) coating lines offer a wide range of time and cost savings.
Distek helps manufacturers make better anti-corrosion coatings in-house with an innovative technology that includes easy-to-operate thermal diffusion galvanising (TDG) coating lines and patented powder and materials.
Distek enables manufacturers to run anti-corrosion coating lines in-house thanks to their simple, green operation. This means there’s no need for on-site engineers or permits
from environmental authorities Not only do customers gain a superior anti-corrosion solution; they also benefit from the improved efficiencies the technology enables,
which saves them time and money.
Save Money by Bringing Coating In-House
Of course, the most significant savings come from simply being able to do your anti-corrosion coating in-house. With our solution you can make anti-corrosion coating an integral part of your production process in-house – you can make your parts, coat them and then they’re simply ready to ship.
This way, you save time and all the costs related to transporting the parts back and forth to coating providers. Furthermore, the coating providers should naturally profit too, so they charge extra, but when doing the coating inhouse, manufacturers only pay the cost.
Significant Energy Savings
At a time when the cost of energy continues to make headlines, minimising its use is a key priority for businesses across the world. Distek’s solution can dramatically help with this, as it offers significant energy savings when compared to other market offerings that use the conventional hot-dip galvanising (HDG) method.
This power-hungry approach requires what is essentially a ‘big bath’ of zinc to be consistently maintained at 600 degrees centigrade, whereas Distek’s thermal diffusion coating process is carried out at much lower temperatures.
Meaningful energy savings are clear, but added to this is the ability to simply switch machines on and off as needed, rather than continuously maintain a high temperature.
This provides yet another opportunity to minimise energy use, which not only saves money, but can also improve an organisation’s green credentials.
No Waste
In fact, Distek’s entire anti-corrosion coating process is green – no wastewater, hazardous materials or polluting waste come from the procedure. The closed system includes a water cleaning process that recycles the water, while its dry process ensures there are no acid or toxic elements.
We are completely green – a great advantage in an industry where environmental issues are of huge importance. In the past, anti-corrosion coating facilities would need to get specific permissions and have staff that knew how to safely handle polluting waste. With our solution, because it’s completely green, customers don’t have to deal with anything like this.
Stronger Corrosion Resistance
Distek’s thermal-diffusion zinc coating is achieved through a TDG process and is applied in accordance with a number of standards including ASTM A1059 and BS-EN 17668:2016.
Minimal surface pre-treatment is required before coating as spots of rust, grease residue and oiling cooling agent on the component’s surface generally don’t affect the coating.
All it usually takes is just going through a shot blast machine. The process provides a consistent thickness within a range of 20-120μ, even on internal surfaces. The vapourised zinc penetrates the surface to become integrated with the substrate material and creates a zinc-iron layer.
The passivation (finishing) and top-coating processes strengthen the corrosion resistance, creating a hard, nonmagnetic weldable coating that is also flexible. Distek’s coating method has also been proven to provide betterquality protection through stronger corrosion resistance.
Testing has shown the coating stands up to the most extreme conditions, including 3,000 hours of salt spray testing, and is 5–10 times better than the hot-dip galvanising (HDG) method. It also offers high abrasive resistance, with micro-hardness of up to 1636HV, preventing nut seizure in stainless steel bolts.
Ongoing Support
As part of a business relationship with Distek, customers are ensured on-going support, which means no concerns around unexpected downtime and its possible related costs.
