Corrosion protection for tube fittings and adapters
Last February, this company introduced the proprietary ToughShield Plus zinc-nickel surface treatment for all tube fittings and adapters worldwide. The plating provides excellent resistance for increased corrosion prevention while maintaining optimum properties and assembly values. ToughShield Plus is said to be the first commercially available standard plating system for fluid power systems to provide up to 3,000 h of resistance to red corrosion per ASTM B117 neutral salt-spray testing. ToughShield Plus has been designed to save users time and money with extended tube fitting and adapter life, easier maintenance and increased resistance to corrosion migration to other system components. ToughShield Plus complies with the leading industry standards such as DIN and SAE, as well as the environmental standards RoHs, REACH and ELV. — Parker Hannifin Manufacturing Germany GmbH & Co.
