Innovative Metal Coatings for Exceptional Corrosion and Abrasion Resistance

Where to Use Hardcoats for Metals

• Automotive

SilFORT hardcoats offer excellent corrosion, abrasion and chemical resistance for a range of automotive applications, such as exterior trim, interior trim, roof rails and alloy wheels. Our protective coatings meet or exceed leading OEM specifications, such as salt spray or acid/alkali resistance (pH 1.0 to pH 13.5). They can be applied direct-to-metal, eliminating the need for a primer layer, and are formulated without PFAS. Gloss levels can also be customized, from a rich, glossy metallic appearance to a matte or satin finish.

• Architectural
  

SilFORT hardcoats can be applied to extruded aluminum profiles for architectural applications to withstand the elements and day to-day contact. Our liquid protective clearcoats are used to protect against abrasion, chemicals, corrosion and weathering for window trim, doors and patio enclosures.

• Heat Exchangers/HVAC
  

SilFORT hardcoats can be used to protect aluminum in heat exchangers to help extend operational life. Our protective coatings are extremely resistant to abrasion, corrosion and weathering. Coated aluminum fins are used in heat exchangers for a variety of applications including HVAC equipment, automotive and other industrial applications.

• Marine

Excellent corrosion and abrasion resistance are key requirements for marine applications, as well as good weathering. SilFORT hardcoats enable aluminum trim parts to retain their rich glossy metallic appearance on marine vessels.

• Appliances
  

Momentive’s SilFORT hardcoats are excellent at protecting appliance surfaces. Our hardcoats provide both scratch resistance and chemical resistance on surfaces that come in contact with daily handling and harsh cleaning supplies, like refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers and aluminum trim parts.
