Recently, we had the opportunity to photograph one of our LockMesh® Coated Actuators after 2 years of service. This unit comes from a prominent salt mining and processing company. They have had great success using our LockMesh® Coated Actuators. With several hundred units installed, they have specified our coated actuators for all future projects. This is a significant cost savings for them when compared to the alternatives of stainless steel actuators or replacing standard aluminum actuators every few months. More info on our LockMesh® Coating: https://www.maxairtech.com/literature/04-FeatureFocus/00-Max-Air_FeatureFocus_LockMesh.PDF Max-Air is proud to offer our advanced coating system, LockMesh®. This hybrid coating system combines the rugged toughness of a stainless steel base coating with the corrosion resistance of PTFE. Corrosive environment applications such as marine areas, caustic wash down, submerged service, and direct chemical exposure require equipment with enhanced corrosion resistance. Frequently the common options are plating, painting, or a change to stainless steel construction. All of these can be effective in some applications; however, they do have limitations and in some cases carry a significant weight and/or cost impact. LockMesh® has been shown to provide a cost effective compromise. It provides the chemical resistance of PTFE along with the durability enhancement of a stainless steel base layer.
