NORD NSD and NSDx3 enhanced corrosion protection coatings

NORD Drivesystems Australia has recently introduced the NORD Severe Duty (NSD) and NORD Severe Duty Extreme (NSDx3) enhanced corrosion protection coatings for the NORD helical geared motor product range.

The NORD NSD coatings consist of polyurethane resin mixed with 316 stainless steel. This formulation forms a low-sheen, metallic grey-coloured coating that is very hard when completely cured, offering high exterior durability and corrosion resistance.

NORD NSD coatings can resist scratching and chipping, unlike other conventional surface coatings such as two pack epoxy paint. Compared to an acrylic paint, the NORD NSD coatings have 40% higher impact resistance and have twice the surface hardness and corrosion resistance. NORD NSD coatings will also stand up to heat and humidity and offer good chemical resistance when exposed to aggressive industrial solvents such as lacquer thinners, acetone, gasoline fuel, Xylol, lubricants and cutting oils.

The NORD NSD coatings are USDA H1 approved and are suitable for almost all food manufacturing plants in Australia. Other applications include all areas involving chemical washdown and corrosive environments. NORD NSD coatings can withstand high exposure to water, wastewater, marine environments including salt water, chemicals, and acids.

NORD NSD coatings are AS/NZS4020 compliant and will enhance the lifespan of the helical geared motor by completely protecting the outer surface, while preventing the ingress of harmful contaminants.

NORD Drivesystems Australia can now apply the NSD coatings to any gearbox or electric motor from the NORD product range.
