Customer case studies
Looking for a PFAS-free anti-corrosion coating resistant to high temperatures and extreme environments?
An offshore industry customer was looking for an anti-corrosion coating solution capable of protecting fasteners exposed to temperatures exceeding 220°C, harsh weather conditions, and, above all, salt spray — while also meeting an additional requirement: avoiding the use of PFAS.
Sofiplast solution
To address this complex challenge, Sofiplast developed a tailor-made solution adapted to the extreme conditions of marine environments. We proposed several PTFE-based surface treatment solutions, with or without phosphating or zinc-lamellar underlayers, depending on the required level of protection.
These PFAS-free solutions provide excellent corrosion resistance, thermal stability above 220°C, and long-lasting protection against salt spray, while meeting evolving environmental requirements.
Premature wear on mechanical components?
Metal parts seizing in marine environments?
Injection molds experiencing adhesion issues?
Electrostatic charges disrupting painting processes?
Interior components exposed to repeated friction?
Offshore fasteners exposed to salt spray and corrosion?
