ELECTROLESS NICKEL PLATING EXPERTS

The Durabide® Difference

Durabide®, our premium product, is a superior alternative to hard chrome.

​Our unique composite coating contains Silicon Carbide particles embedded within a Nickel Phosphorus matrix for maximum corrosion and wear resistance. 

Avoid costly down-time, replacement parts, and maintenance with 
solutions
 that stand the test of time.

Oversized is our business

Our tank dimensions in excess of 40 feet make us the powerhouse in oversized metal finishing
Electroless Nickel Plating Service
Oversized parts isn't just SOMETHING we do - IT'S WHAT WE DO.

Unlike many other plating facilities, we specialize in longer parts. Some of our typical work includes oil field tubing, cylinders, and various rollers. While we can accommodate smaller parts like nipples, couplings and parts shorter than 12", our facility is equipped to handle parts up to 40 feet in length. Founded in 1977, Dura-Tech is a family-owned and operated business located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. 

We welcome special projects.

Metal Plating for Steel, Brass, More

The ultimate metal plating for steel, brass and other substrates. We offer corrosion solutions for oil field producers, corrugate suppliers, paper manufacturers, and all types of rollers and hydraulic cylinders. EN plating solutions for oversized parts maximize performance and life. Nickel carbide, phosphate coatings and Teflon treatment provide advance coating techniques.

Hard Chrome Plating is Inferior

Helping industrial machinery combat corrosion and damaging wear that generates part replacement and costly down time by providing an alternative to the hard chrome plating services in Dallas. Durabide’s steel and brass plating technology increases performance, prolongs well life and part life and results in less downtime, costly replacements and lost revenue

WHY DURABIDE®?

In corrosive environments, it out performs chrome...every time

Our product can pass 1000 hrs of a salt spray test whereas hard chrome will fail before 100 hrs

Corrosion Resistance

Our coating is amorphous and has no crystal structure. This assures that the coating is free of voids, thus providing enhanced corrosion protection to the base material. Durabide® is resistant to both H2S and CO2 corrosion.
Picture

Adhesion

Durabide® has excellent adhesion with most substrate metals.​ It has a true metallic bond with the substrate. We thoroughly prepare all parts both mechanically and chemically before applying our coating in order to achieve excellent adhesion between the coating and the substrate.
Picture

Wear Resistance

Silicon carbide is one of the hardest materials found on earth. This translates to excellent wear resistance even in the harshest of environments.

​
Picture

Hardness

Hardness of the composite coatings is difficult to measure and get consistent results because of the presence of two different materials. However, the unique nature of the coating allows you to capture the hardness of silicon carbide, 2400 Vickers, similar to diamond.
Picture

Uniformity

Durabide® is a chemically applied composite which covers any geometric surface uniformly.  Eliminating edge buildup, grinding or other machining which is a common problem with other coatings.
Picture

Lubricity

Durabide® coating runs satisfactorily against most other metals. With lubrication, Durabide® does not tend to gall even running against itself.
