Canadian Finishing and Coatings Manufacturing: Nov/Dec 2022 - 42

NEW PRODUCTS
Maintenance personnel sometimes
added a chlorine-based cleaning solution
but at other times used an ammoniabased
cleaning agent in the company's
clean-in-place (CIP) process. These
chemicals caused the stainless-steel
condensate pump to corrode. To address
the problem, Magnaplate's technical
support group recommended Lectrofluor,
which is particularly effective against
severe corrosion and chemical attack.
Lectrofluor is a polymer-based coating
that is well-suited for food and drug
manufacturing applications and offers the
following features:
* USDA and FDA compliance
* Dry lubricity for low coefficient of
friction
* Prevents galling
* Heat stability
* Self-lubricating properties for extended
wear
CORROSION COATING FOR STAINLESS STEEL
CONDENSATE PUMPS
Although stainless steel is a common material for parts and machines
throughout the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry thanks to its known
corrosion resistance, not every stainless-steel alloy can resist corrosion when
exposed to certain chemicals or conditions. And when it comes to ensuring the
reliability of machinery, mitigating the effects of frequent washdowns and the
threat of corrosion are part of the territory.
A pharmaceutical injectables manufacturer was experiencing corrosion
problems in production equipment. Its facilities engineering manager contacted
General Magnaplate-which specializes in surface enhancements for metals
and other substrates-about a stainless-steel condensate pump housing and
cover assembly that undergoes a standard cleaning and maintenance cycle.
* Mould release properties
Preventing corrosion of stainless-steel
parts is not always a straightforward
endeavour, especially when harsh, caustic
chemicals contact the surfaces. After
several months of successful pump
cleaning and maintenance without any
recurring corrosion issues, the customer
reported that the Lectrofluor-coated
pump " looks as good as the day it first
arrived coated. "

SATA RELEASES SPECIAL EDITION
JETBLACK
Jet black is often seen as a flattering style staple, and
one of the most popular colours when choosing a car.
It has the power to command attention, and is elegant,
bold and confident. And it was that bold confidence that
inspired SATA to create the jetBLACK special edition,
taking its popular SATAminijet 4400 B and SATAjet 1500 B
SoLV and decking them out entirely in black-black gun
body, controls, trigger and sleek lasered jetBLACK logo.
Both the SATAminijet 4400 B and SATAjet 1500 B SoLV,
have always been designed to ensure a perfect finish
with cost saving transfer efficiency, but are now available
in this new jetBLACK look for a limited time.
