Hole coating eases cartridge heater removal

A patented, high temperature solid lubricant coating, bonded directly to the heater sheath for ease of handling for cartridge heaters, facilitates easy removal from precision drilled holes.

Durex Industries introduces a patented, high temperature coating for cartridge heaters that facilitates easy removal from precision drilled holes. The Duraslik coating acts as a solid lubricant once the heater has been energized in service. There is no need for additional release agents to be applied to the heater sheath prior to insertion.

In addition, the Duraslik coating inhibits corrosion and facilitates an even heat transfer in the application, effectively lengthening the service life of the heater itself.

The coating is available on all standard and metric sheath sizes.

All Durex cartridge heaters are high density swaged units and are manufactured to customer specifications.
