NXD from NORD

Surface protection for extreme conditions

Our NXD surface treatment makes aluminium more resistant. Drive solutions thus can withstand severe environmental conditions and cleaning chemicals. This creates particularly durable drive solutions from NORD the performance of which you can rely on even in demanding ambient conditions.

Constant optimum protection with NXD BASIC® and NXD tupH®

The NXD surface treatment has been specifically developed for aluminium. It makes aluminium surfaces particularly corrosion-resistant. Your benefit: NXD reveals the strengths of aluminium components for demanding installations. Aluminium is lightweight, economical, recyclable and thermally conductive. NXD offers two variants for optimum protection of your drive solution.

NXD BASIC®

NXD BASIC® is used if the protection of standard varnishes is not sufficient.

How does it work?

In the first step, the aluminium housing undergoes a surface treatment that creates a very hard, inert surface with optimum adhesion properties for the next layer. After assembly into a drive system, a paint or lacquer is applied that adheres perfectly to the treated surface.

What are the advantages?

Safe protection against scratches and swarf – even in case of damage to the varnish | Corrosion-resistant according to the highest corrosion class C5 | Customer-specific colouring possible

For which applications?

Water treatment | Car wash facilities | Shipping | Offshore installations

Your benefit?

Durable drive solutions | Operational reliability | Investment security | Large variety of solution components available

NXD tupH®

NXD tupH® is the surface protection for extreme conditions in wash-down applications.

How does it work?

In the first step, the aluminium housing undergoes a surface treatment that creates a very hard, inert surface with optimum adhesion properties for the next layer. The treated components are coated with a thin, food-safe and strongly adhesive high-performance sealer and then hardened. Finally, the treated components are assembled into a drive system.

What are the advantages?

Resistant to acids and alkalis | No blistering, flaking or microcracks | Non-porous surface | Corrosion-resistant according to the highest corrosion class C5 | Food-safe worldwide: U.S. (FDA 21 CFR § 175.300), EU (Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004), Switzerland (SR 817.023.21), and Mercosur (GMC Res. No. 56/92)

For which applications?

Food & beverage | Dairies | Fish & seafood | Pharmaceuticals

Your benefit?

NXD’s previous generation NSD has already impressively demonstrated its resistance as an effective protection for aluminium surfaces in practice. Drives that previously had to be replaced regularly, serve well for years now, thanks to this technology. We are permanently focused on our customers’ industries and are continuously developing the protection systems. Surfaces treated with NXD tupH® are thus free from chromates and PFAS. This increases the investment security for our users.
