TM117C Electroless Nickel Plating

TM 117C is a high phosphorus Electroless Nickel (9%+) coating with a codeposit of PTFE. This non-magnetic coating provides a very accurate and hard surface – with an excellent resistance to adhesive wear and release properties. TM117C is used on mold surfaces for both plastic and rubber, food processing equipment, computer components, aerospace applications and more.

Technical Advantages:

Provides excellent release for straight, no draft cores or cavities
Enhances resin flow, which helps increase cycle time
Helps maintain gloss levels
Reduces or eliminates the need for spray-on release agents
Uniform thickness eliminates most post-process modifications
Excellent non-stick properties
Can be plated on aluminum and other non-ferrous materials
Uniform dispersion of PTFE particles throughout the coating
Typical, as plated Knoop hardness: (100 g load, 0.3 mil deposit): 400–460 (kg/mm)
