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. Contact us now to learn how. |
Oversized is our business
Our tank dimensions in excess of 40 feet make us the powerhouse in oversized metal finishing

Metal Plating for Steel, Brass, MoreThe 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 InferiorHelping 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 ResistanceOur 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.
AdhesionDurabide® 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.
|
Wear ResistanceSilicon carbide is one of the hardest materials found on earth. This translates to excellent wear resistance even in the harshest of environments.
HardnessHardness 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.
|
UniformityDurabide® 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.
LubricityDurabide® coating runs satisfactorily against most other metals. With lubrication, Durabide® does not tend to gall even running against itself.
