DIXIE INDUSTRIAL FINISHING GEOMET ® : A DURABLE AND VERSATILE COATING FOR FASTENER MANUFACTURERS from page 70
Additionally, GEOMET® is suitable for many electrical
applications. The metallic flake coating allows electrical
current to be passed on to the substrate. However,
conductivity levels should be tested to determine if
GEOMET® is suitable for the needed application.
The increasing use of GEOMET® is a powerful
endorsement of the product’s effectiveness and
durability across many types of applications. GEOMET®’s
effectiveness is extended when combined with silicate
sealers to protect metal parts from corrosion. Salt
spray tests indicate a corrosion resistance of over
1,000 hours without a topcoat and over 1,500 hours
with a topcoat.
GEOMET® complies with regulations issued by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the
required EU (RoHS) directives.
Dixie Industrial Finishing is one of only two
GEOMET® job shop applicators in the Southeast.
The Dixie Industrial Finishing operations center
is a 175,000 square foot facility in Tucker, Georgia,
just east of Atlanta. About 75 employees work there,
specializing in all types of metal finishing including
zinc plating, electroless nickel, zinc nickel, phosphate
coating, tin plating and GEOMET®. It’s one of the
largest such facilities in the Southeast.
Dixie Industrial Finishing is committed to being an
industry leader in innovation, providing its clients with
the products and services they need while also being
a good neighbor in its community. And that’s good
business, too.
GEOMET® is a registered trademark of NOF Metal Coatings Group.
