Micro Tuff™ Advanced Coating for Industrial Excellence
Micro Tuff™ is a polymer that increases the surface performance of metals.
It reduces friction, galling, and wear, while also improving lubricity, release, and corrosion resistance. Micro Tuff™ gives metals the surface condition needed to perform in industrial environments.
Description & Benefits
- Reduces Friction
- Improves Release
- Increases Lubricity
- Reduces Wear
- Eliminates Galling
- Less Corrosion
About Micro Tuff™
Micro Tuff™ is a long-chain, highly cross-linked polymer with an organic penetrating agent that is sold in bar form. It is used to impregnate metallic substrates and coatings, thereby improving surface performance. Micro Tuff™ polymerizes during application, wherein it takes on synergistic properties.
Micro Tuff™ is impregnated into the micro-crystal structure of the metal. This provides a homogeneous and dense alloy of bonded polymer. Micro Tuff™ impregnation completely seals off the substrate and imparts time-release lubricity to the overall surface.
Micro Tuff is easy and inexpensive to apply; special equipment is not required.
Apply in-house and eliminate outsourcing.
